People here are very professional and experienced. But I understand this work from home might be new to all of us.

I have normal table and chair but I guess a good chair at least my help me in concentration more and also with my posture. I have gone through Amazon and few others but all chairs n table seems to be either way to relaxing or way to stiff.

Can you people suggest me something.

I’ll cut right to it: I’m 30 and sitting in random chairs, hunched over a table means I wake up with horrible back and hip pain. Anyone have tips on good ergonomic seating (as in back support, and at a good height for typing on a laptop) around campus? The counter on the second floor of Ode has been my go-to but I’d love to be able to mix it up.

Thanks & good luck on finals everyone!

I used to do ergonomics for the Federal government. Addressing chair issues took up a significant part of my day.

Get an ergonomic chair. It should have multiple adjustment points. A task chair, office chair or gaming chair will fit this bill.

Make sure your chair is properly adjusted. By "proper," I mean your arms and legs should be in "L" positions. The lumbar support should be in the lower third of the back.

Adjust the chair to fit your body. Otherwise, your body will adjust to the chair.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Curious if there are any good chairs for sitting and reading a book. Recliners are too cozy and probably only good for watching movies or relaxing. Office Chairs are too upright. Anything you found for sitting and reading a book for a couple of hours straight?

Hello there! Just starting my first year of studies. Moved into a furnished home, discovered that my chair is god awful. gives me strain within 30 minutes.

So I want to ask you guys, what is the single best chair you guys owned/invested in?

Any decently priced chair that you felt comfortable in after being in it for more than 3-4 hours?

Sitting on an ordinary chair for extended periods can harm your back, which is why many people are turning to ergonomic office chairs. These chairs are popular for their superior back support.

So, what are the most suitable office chairs for relieving back pain currently available on the market?

Here are several chairs highly recommended by Reddit users and experts:

• Herman Miller Embody
• AndaSeat X-Air Pro office chair
• Steelcase Leap V2 office chair
• XChair X4 leather executive chair
• Realspace Winsley midback management chair
• Branch Verve
• Modway Articulate Ergonomic Chair
• Kaiser 3 series chair
• Haworth Assure

Before purchasing a chair designed to alleviate back pain, you need to understand the following points:

1. Type of lumbar support

Ergonomic chairs are generally equipped with lumbar support, but it is not necessarily adjustable.

The issue lies in the fact that not all chairs that boast "lumbar support" actually work. Some brands claim that their chairs can alleviate lower back pain, but in reality, they are ineffective when sat on, and may even exacerbate the pain.

This may be because:

The lumbar support is poorly designed and cannot provide any support at all

Or the lumbar support is not suitable for you personally

Lumbar support, like "comfort", is highly subjective.

For example, Aeron provides a relatively firm support, suitable for people who prefer a straight sitting posture, but it may be too tiring for some people.

Steelcase Leap offers adjustable tension support, making it more suitable for individuals who require customized support.

If you have an existing back injury, a lumbar support that can adjust both height and depth is more suitable for you. You can decide the degree to which your waist is "supported", allowing the chair to adapt to you, rather than you accommodating the chair.

2. Sitting posture habits

Do you prefer leaning forward or sitting back? The chair should conform to your posture, rather than forcing you to change your habits.

3. Material of lumbar support and backrest

A good material should be able to adjust slightly with your body movements and possess a certain degree of elasticity.

Because when we sit for a long time, we will stretch, move, and turn around from time to time.

If the material of the chair back or lumbar support is too hard and cannot flexibly adapt, it can actually cause discomfort.

Many cheap mesh chairs are stiff in material, breathable but lacking elasticity, which can easily lead to back pain.

4. Adjustability

A highquality ergonomic chair should support the following adjustment functions:

Seat height (usually adjusted via a pneumatic rod)

Seat back tilt and tension control

Lumbar support height and depth

Some chairs also support seat sliding forward and backward to accommodate different leg lengths

A good adjustment mechanism can ensure that the backrest conforms to your spinal curve, providing personalized support regardless of your height.

5. Builtin support & Free activity space

Some office chairs are designed with an "Sshaped" backrest structure, mimicking the natural curve of the spine. This not only conforms to the back but also helps prevent slouching and hunched posture.

In addition, a qualified office chair should also allow you to move freely:

Equipped with a rotatable base

Freely extend and turn to reach for objects

Avoiding frequent standups can help promote blood circulation and relax muscles

In summary, a chair that suits you must provide comfort when sitting and flexibility when moving, in order to truly relieve back pressure and enhance work efficiency.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a very comfortable office chair around or below $300 for my brother, who will be attending medical school soon. I know this probably isn't a typical question for this thread, but I thought I'd ask since you all probably have experience with which chairs are comfy or not for long hours of studying. :) Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a good chair for long hours of work infront of the computer and studying. Have issues with chronic back pain and my current chair is not cutting. If anyone has reccs, please send them my way.

I've never studied, or let alone sat in a chair for as many hours as I have studying for the mcat, especially while taking FLs. I'm starting to realize my chair really isn't all that and I should probably invest in a better chair so I can endure the long study hours ahead of me (and that'll follow in medical school). Does anyone have recommendations for a comfortable chair to study in?? Gaming chairs, ergonomic chairs, doesnt really matter to me just suggest the best mcat study chair
