Bingo!interestingly I am kind of forced to hold my posture without a lumbar to lean back against.

I used to have a standing desk with an ikea Franklin bar stool with backrest. Worked pretty well for a while.I have a standing desk and a tall shop stool with a back. It actually raises and lowers so I can sit comfortably at standing height if I need to. The back hits at lower back height. Just enough support when I need it but mostly it makes me use my muscles by sitting up properly without having a back to lean into.
Can you tell us a little more about this? I googled for pictures and it's an interesting concept, but I wonder if the arm would get in the way. Can you mound these to the right of your mousepad or do they have to be centered before it? What specific aspect of it is helping you?ergorests that attach to the desk
Lucky you! Mine's more like 99.98% ... x]I've never failed when attempting to sit on it. 100% success rate.
Yes! I had one for a while. I thought it's not bad actually, but a bit tiring for nonstop use and I don't have the space to keep switching chairs often. Also I needed to add more cushioning for the knees. Overall I think I prefer it over the big sitting balls or any regular stool without backrest. I can't remember though how well my knees took to it. I have knee pain on and off no matter what chair I sit on, so it's hard to say for sure what's causing it. It's definitely something to be aware of though - sitting in a new way, can introduce issues in a new way.Do the 90's kneeling chairs still exist?
I was very close to buying one, but couldn't bring myself to fork over that much money without doing a proper test period on it for a couple of weeks. I wish I could just rent one for a month for a reasonable price. But even just finding a store where I can try it has been a problem so far.I've heard many great things about the HAG Capisco.
If you search this very forum for "ergorest" about 15 results come up and 90% of them is me pushing them over the last 10 years. There are probably pics in there somewhere. Yes they are very good and no your arm doesn't get in the way. Just have to take the armrests off your chair if your chair has them.Can you tell us a little more about this?

Thanks a lot! I just finished reading all those posts and it's an interesting concept. I think they solve a problem I don't have, but I've sent a link to a friend with wrist pain, so that he can take a look at it. I doubt it'll actually help him, since we both aren't composers, so our repetitive work movements are different than yours. But it's worth a shot still. For your setup I can totally see how they could be a gamechanger for supporting you while playing parts in with your keyboard.If you search this very forum for "ergorest" about 15 results come up and 90% of them is me pushing them over the last 10 years.

I have the anker mouse as backup for when I forget to plug in my other mouse. I use this one now:I saw the vertical mouse you like too, do you still use the Anker?
Yes, but it's a bitch rigging up a rear mounted sustain pedal.Do the 90's kneeling chairs still exist?
The Stealth Chair is the same as the Tatz eChair, which I tried but wasn't comfortable for me -- I gave it a full two weeks. Ended up hurting my rear and my upper back. It's a fantastic chair, just doesn't work for my particular body.I've got one of the Stealth Chairs (Pro) but with the Executive back (bought the extra back after I already had the chair). So far it's pretty nice.

Thank you for this, I'm a bigger person too, and this information is priceless.I'm a big dude, 300lbs+ and for over 10 years I've used the Office Star 2400E at home and at work. It's rated at 250lbs, but that's just the gas cylinder, the rest of the chair is built like a tank and the only chair that doesn't hurt my back. If you were to get it, don't use the stock cylinder, put https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KLYJHYQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (this one) in instead for an extra 18 bucks (says Currently Unavailable at the moment but that happens a lot for some reason on Amazon, it comes back in stock). Even if you aren't a Clyde like me, the chair has a big seat deck and is comfortable and supportive if you don't have a Herman Miller budget, lol.
Recently I put these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DH335PL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Rollerblade wheels) on the chair, and surprisingly it doesn't make the chair roll more, just the opposite. When the wheel is perpendicular, it DOESN'T move unless you wiggle to turn it. I like that, keeps the chair in place when I need that. Of course, that might just be my weight, lol.
Guys, I'm also looking for a good chair for myself. OK, I'm NOT that heavy! even with the poundemicThank you for this, I'm a bigger person too, and this information is priceless.
I have an older ikea desk that can be assembled at several different heights, so I turned it into a standing desk several years ago and never looked back. I've gone through a few different chairs for when I want to sit, but the ikea Franklin bar stool w/backrest (higher version) has been the best, and has lasted a few years for a grand sum of $34.99. I have the shorter version at my second, lower desk.I used to have a standing desk with an ikea Franklin bar stool with backrest. Worked pretty well for a while.
I went to the HON Basyx website, and I like the chairs. Can you possibly ask your friend what specific chair he uses? I'd appreciate it so very much. Thanks!Guys, I'm also looking for a good chair for myself. OK, I'm NOT that heavy! even with the poundemic
But I have a friend who's a big guy (150+kg?) and I asked him. He has a chair by a company like HON Basys or Basyx that he loves. He works at the computer like us all day long for his job. He says avoid bonded-leather (?) seats, they don't breathe. But these HON chairs are built like tanks.
Hi! I was exactly skyping with him when you posted! I asked him to check. He said that under it says HON Basyx VL685SB11 VL685. He admitted to me that he bought it because then he was 400+ pounds! He's a tall man but he lost weight since The chair is black, very wide and very sturdy. The bonded-leather still looks very good after 5+ years. He changed the wheels for better ones immediately. He doesn't remember the price; it was not cheap but not Hermann Miller-levels. Hope this is helpfulI went to the HON Basyx website, and I like the chairs.
