After the desk lets move on to the chair
Everybody knows it already, sitting is bad
Too much sitting makes you a croissant with a heart rate of 120 when getting up
No matter how much you try to counteract with stretching and training, if you sit for hours every day, it will make you a croissant long term, bent and soft
But staying all day long sucks too
So from time to time you just want to sit
I also can focus on certain things much better while sitting compared to standing (maybe just out of habit)
I have nothing fancy here, but it’s a solid office chair, made for people sitting for long hours
What you want from a chair:
- Adjustable height (obvious)
- Adjustable back in tilt and(!) depth
- Armrest (also adjustable)
An adjustable lower back support is also nice to have
In general, the more you can adjust, the better (there are plenty of tutorials on the net on how to adjust your chair correctly)
The seating should be not too large and not too small
Too small will make an uncomfortable sit and too large will make you
The back is mostly hard and just gives support to your back
You don’t want both too soft
That being said, an executive chair with lots of cushioning might seem desireable at first, but I wouldn’t take one
You tend to hang in those chairs in a lax way over time like it’s your TV sofa
I had one for years and it made me a croissant =)
My chair was around $500-$600 back then
I don’t think you will find a good chair for less than that amount, most likely you will have to pay even more
If you missed the first post, here’s the post about the table / desk
Last but not least, a video, again, nothing fancy:
