Any back and/or seat cushion recommendations? My home office chair is killing me but I don't want to shell out hundreds of $$ for a new chair at the moment

Your home office chair doesn’t sound like it’s commercially rated for 8 hours of use. No pillow is going to fix that. Maybe try standing more.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/desk-chairs-20652/
Ikea has plenty of affordable office chair options, any of which will be better for your back than sitting in a non-office chair. I bought one a few years back that was $40 and it's still holding up

Go on fb marketplace or some other second hand site. There are a lot of people selling really good stuff there if you scour a little bit. My suggestion is search in the fanciest neighborhoods in the city. I find rich folks selling their thousand dollar furniture for $50-100; they just wanna get rid of it.

With corona you just gotta take a few precautions on the transaction (Venmo as opposed to cash) but otherwise should be relatively simple.
