Currently I am using a cheapo Office Max chair I bought a few years ago (~$100)
I am looking at replacing it with an Autonomous.ai ErgoChair2 [1] within the next few weeks.
I work from home so buying a $1k+ chair isn't really feasible. For context, I am in my late 20's without major back problems so "cheaping out" is still a reasonable thing to do.
Ikea Poang with footstool. Laptop in lap. No desk. Mitigates pretty much all the ergonomics issues I've encountered over years of sitting at computers.
I think it works for me because of how easily I can redistribute my weight, adjust typing position, screen distance and angle, etc. Of course it also works because the high degree of control I have over my work environment. A luxury, no doubt.
Herman Miller Celle and SteelCase Leap (in storage). Just learned about the Celle and it's perfect. I recommend both if you have sciatica. You should be able to get both used and in really good condition.
Steelcase Leap. It is phenomenally better than any other chair I've ever had. (I sit in this chair wayyyyyy too many hours per day and the Leap has kept me uncrippled.)
