I got this a couple of years ago and it's been great. I've taken it on flights too. Much cheaper than a new chair.

Thanks for the recommendation; I actually have one of those. Maybe I need to see a chiropractor.

I have a steel case chair that is really good and trying to sell. Do you live in dc area?

Deloitte 2. Send me a dm and I am happy to sell it to you. Can take a picture if you want to see it. Or webcam it or whatever

Herman Miller aeron and Steelcase leap v2 seem to be the gold standards. Not sure if this is an add-on or included, but they have adjustable features so you can cater the lumbar support to your preference. However, these chairs go for $1000+ so if ur budget conscious I’d recommend buying a “like new” one for $400-800.

Ive had a herniated disc and spend 8-12 hours a day on a chair so I speak from experience when I say I highly recommend investing the time and money into researching and purchasing a good chair, especially if you have back issues. Don’t fall for those $100-300 chairs that claim to “ergonomic”

Sometimes it’s actually bad butt support that hurts your back. You could start with a cushion and see if that helps and possibly save some cheddah.

Ahhhhh never thought of that. I will try to get something for the butt. 😊

Do you exercise at all?

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
