You might try getting a little back pillow or something to push your lower back forward and keep it in alignment. Might not need a new chair if that works

Buy a butt pillow and a back support pillow. That’s literally all you need. and make sure you are sitting with proper posture.

Are you sure it’s from the chair ? May be from all the work you’re doing by caring the team.

Branch Furniture! My back used to hurt every day and I got the Elevate chair almost a year ago and honestly can’t remember the last time my back hurt.

I went with the elevate because it wasn’t that much more expensive and seemed like it had more features? I can’t really remember why but I love it!

I love my Steelcase Gesture. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. Even on my longest days, I'm not in pain.

100% Gesture but it’s expensive. I opted for the Amia and I absolutely love it!

I bought a secret lab Titan. You can get them the right size for you (they have different models) and they can be adjusted fully for your desk size/arm length/leg length etc. $400 isn’t cheap, but like D1 and D2 said above I’ve had no pain at all since buying, even after 11+ hour days. Good luck in chair hunting!

Good to now - I was eyeing it for my Husband - similar build as you and just had the concern on the base. Sounds like it may be a great fit

Herman Miller Embody. Totally worth it.

The Lazy Boy office chair at Costco is pretty legit

For a temporary/economical solution before investing in a new chair - consider getting the smallest sized Chirp wheel, and stick it along your middle back, between your back and the back of the chair (like in the picture). It helps improve posture (and back pain) and you can roll on it during breaks!

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions. I do understand that many children want that interaction with their friends and teachers. But I don't think it is going to be quite as rewarding as many think with social distancing and face coverings to be safe. No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.
