From my post at Crunchgear:

I like the angle rickdog’ uncovered – that a recloned position is actually best for the back. The scientists quoted state ‘but that won’t work for a computer; not so: you can make it work with a alaptop or even with a desktop machine: I’m 6′3″ and have had back trouble for years and tried all kinds of office chairs including some expensive ergo ones. BUT after all this I find what really works is the La-Z-Boy reclining position for work. I use an IKEA POANG armchair with footstool http://www.ikea...productId=25952
with a Apple Mac Book and Wireless trackball explorer, which rests on the wide arm rest of this type of chair. I find it the perfect working position – relaxed enough to really work instead of fighting an upright posture or slouching uncomfortably and absolutely perfect for lumbar support etc – there’s really o stress on any part of the body. I can recommend trying this to anyone. Plus whe you’re on the phone you it’s also a natural position. You’ll need some kind of heat-resistant or padded mat for the laptop to go on for long periods of course.

Anyone looking for a more healthy, comfortable and productive work environment – give this a try

If you work from home like I do (on some days) just move around to different parts of your apartment / house. The variation in sitting / lying styles can help alleviate pain.

I picked up something called a backivator which is just 2 air filled sacks in a small flat package that you sit on. It forces you to shift occasionally as the air pouches fill up and deflate with movement. Does a pretty good job.

Anyways its not about the chair but about the girlfriend – its her job to get you out of that chair.

Enough of having a crushed back after 15-20 hour days.
