thanks chris,

i have to admit that my stool (swopper) is great for my back, but my bottom still needs something else for a switchup, so it sounds like the mesh is really forgiving. thanks.

I too will have to get a new chair when I get back to work, rheumy's orders!

Herman Miller (who makes the Aeron chairs) just came out with a new one if youre feeling super flush...

that's a lot of money

The ball thing is what my physio suggested. What I use is a regular office chair that has a good padded bottom (I have no natural padding) and the back inclines at whatever angle I want to set it at. The ones I cannot use are the ones provided here-- they are hard and the backs sit straight up-- you can't angle them. Siting straight up puts too much pressure on my lower back-- gravity sucks.

I have a Toyota Yaris-- now if I could just bring the seat from my car into work with me… that's comfy. I partially bought the car cause of the seat. I was test driving when my hip was sore-- tried the Chevy Aveo-- no way, that thing was like sitting on a brick.

Those wobbly stools remind me too much of a crazy chiro I went to-- no thanks. Plus, wayyyy too pricy.

well, i just got back from being away for 2 days where i had no choice of sitting options. i had thought my neck and upper back were better because they hadn't been bothering me.....but no. its that i've truly found a sitting option for me. and whenever i'm forced to sit where i can't, everything gets
reactivated. now i need to call the physiatrist and get another round of trigger point injections to quiet things down again. so, at least for me, how i sit is crucial.
