In Reply to: Try sitting on a pillow. Extra cushy! - certainly!
Was wondering about the new mesh chairs, has anyone tried one? Pillow doesn't help, have tried that. I've got some serious saddle sores from sitting all day.

The big flippin' deal is that the story doesn't mesh.
disclosing it immediately. Also, notice how he will only interview on Faux News...where he knows he will be handled with kid gloves? It's the secrecy, stupid.
Chairs!
Need opinions on Steelcase Leap Chair. Please. Thank you.
Chairs
Hello,
I would not reccomend sitting on a ball for the whole day. I know there has been a lot of hype around using exercise balls as seating but it actually causes stress on your back rather then creating "good posture". Also, it is not natural for the back to be in constant "good posture". The besy posture is to constantly re-position to create movement and comfort in the spinal cord.
Yes the Aeron chair is expensive but a great chair. I work at Herman Miller so I'm lucky enough to sit in one all day. You can get a base Aeron for around $600CAD. Not everyone needs all of the add on features which brings up the price.
I'm not a big fan of the foam and fabric chairs because they tend to trap dust, dirty easily and can smell over time. I also don't like that foam and fabric chairs don't breathe.
If any of you are looking for an Aeron or any other herman miller product, feel free to e-mail me and I can quote it out for you. shannon_fitzpatrick@hermanmiller.com
Take care,
Shannon
Comfortable Chairs?
Anyone have any ideas for comfortable chairs, affordable comfortable chairs? I've been looking for a good chair and can't seem to find one.
Suggestions for chairs?? sm
I'm trying to find a chair that is comfortable all day (and sometimes part of the night) long. I know some of you here have had the same problem. Suggestions, please???
Thanks!
Most comfortable chairs.
Okay. So, I have gone through two chairs trying to find a truly comfortable one and I am just not having any luck. I believe because I am constantly trying to adjust myself to get comfortable in my chair, it affects my productivity. My rear end starts to hurt and my tailbone will get sore when I shift.  I am just so tired for the search for a comfy chair. So, would you all mind sharing with me a fairly economical comfortable chair preference?
Thank you so much,
Balls instead of chairs - Hahaha
Just thought I'd pass this along in case anyone is tired of sitting in the same old chair everyday while they work. I've seen this "tip" before but never bothered to try it until recently.
I purchased one of those large inflatable exercise balls and use it instead of a chair. It's a very refreshing change. I did have to learn to balance a bit because in a chair you can move around, even when you're not aware of it, and the chair is stable but the ball isn't. It also helps me keep better posture, is easier on the low back/sacrum, and I think it is helping my abdomen because you are working your abdominals and legs while sitting there.
Anyway, it was worth a try for me. I may not use it all the time but it is a great change.
Base for the ball chairs
I actually bought my exercise ball/chair through ebay and it came with a base which has a small back support as well as wheels. It works out great.
Herman Miller chairs
Thanks for your advice. Both replies to my email suggested this chair, and one of my neighbors did, as well. I guess I'll have to see if the neighbor will let me come over and sit in it for a while, so I can be sure. I can't afford ANY chair right now (now 'til my production improves, as all my accounts are new to me right now), but I figured in the meantime I'd start shopping around so I'd know what I want someday when I DO have some money.
great comfy chairs
Hi! There are office chairs by Herman Miller that offer great comfortable chairs designed for people that sit most of the day. They are expensive starting from $500 and up. I got the middle of the line and I have to tell you that I don't mind sitting now and worth every penny. I still take my breaks but this chair is like heaven. they flex with the movement of the person. you can also go to cns.com for a full description and ordering. you would not regret it!
Back pain and chairs.
Go for the pillows. I tried to splurge a while ago and get a new chair, took it back and got a new pillow. I use a thin pillow for my bottom and a nice orthopedic pillow for my back. I'm tempted to try the keyboard on my lap like I've seen suggested here but my husband just brought me a new keyboard tray from a teardown job he was doing that sells for almost 200.00. I think he'd be hurt if I didn't try it.
I get to take 2 Herman Miller chairs to try!
No one in my neck of the woods sells these things, except for a place 200+ miles away. This business supply place, however, regularly makes trips out my way to set up office furniture and said they have demo chairs they would be happy to let me test out for 2 weeks at no charge! So, I have an Aeron and Mirra Chair here in my little office and I'll be putting in a full week's work on each one! So, if you have wanted to try one of these chairs but not pay for it before making a decision, I HIGHLY recommend just asking if you can test drive a demo one for a week or two. I honesly had no idea they did such a thing so I just thought I'd share the fact that it is possible! 
3 office chairs in a year??? What are you doing? Aerobics in them??

Aeron, Mira, Celle Chairs - Anyone Have One? (sm)
Does anyone use an Aeron, Celle, or Mira chair by Herman Miller and are they worth the price? Many thanks for any info.
Office Depot has chairs on display U can try before you buy. sm
Got mine there over 5 years ago, fully adjustable, I think it was $129, still good.
Can we talk about headphones/keyboards/chairs
and other ergonomic products that help you all do your job more productively and comfortably?
I still use the basic headset MQ supplies; however, I'm wondering if there is something better, not too expensive, that produces a bit better sound and a bit more comfort. I'm thinking it might help out with some of the not-so-great sounding dictation and/or ESL dictators. What type of headset do you use and why?
What keyboards do you all use and how do you like them? I have a Microsoft Natural Ergo and I use a slight reverse tilt. I find that angle feels a bit better on the wrists.
Does anyone have one of those desks that you can raise/lower? Sometimes the ol' bum goes to sleep and I'm thinking standing up at times would help.
What about foot pedals/foot rests? I actually have 2 foot pedals so I can switch legs quick w/o reaching down and dragging the foot pedal back and forth.
Thanks for any and all of your opinions! 
Know of any good chairs for back pain?
I have been using a $20 task chair from Wal-Mart for the past three years, I am sitting her now six months pregnant about ready to die from upper and lower back pain. Anyone have suggestions for a good quality chair they like, right now money is not an option, I would pay big $$$ for just a little relief.
Herman Miller Aeron Chairs
As a side note, for the tailbone pain, I bought a coccyx cushion and I don't have the pain whatsoever anymore. It's wonderful.
I've owned cheaper chairs and learned the hard way.
The old saying that you get what you pay for is true when it comes to these cheap chairs! My back always hurt and I was having to buy a new chair at least yearly. You do the math; I've already had the $1000 chair five years and I quit having the backaches five years ago. This chair is no where close to wearing out and will last me at least another five years, probably more. So, if you think that spending $200 every year on a cheap chair is worth it, you go right ahead; I didn't hear anything but thanks for the OP for my suggestion.
After years of sitting in "cheap" chairs, I bought an Aeron chair and it was worth it!!

Hayseed - What's the latest on the Mira and Aeron chairs? Did you get to try out the Aeron chair
The butterfly type back support? Can't remember the exact name for it. Do you think the chairs are worth the money? Thanks.
