The butterfly type back support?  Can't remember the exact name for it.  Do you think the chairs are worth the money?   Thanks.

I googled it and had to read down but found this:

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

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! 

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,

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. 

Thanks for any and all of your opinions! 

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.

Hayseed!  You are my kinda gal!  I am in just about the same situation; plunked into a small, rural town with NO job opportunities available, hit rock bottom, etc.   I answered an ad, like you did, scored an interview, aced the test, and they told me, like I said, that I'm the only person without "experience" they have ever hired, but, my background, determination and fortitude impressed them.  Did you have to buy your own equipment and resource books to get started, too?    By the way, I have a friend who moved to Bangor.  I was her secretary for two years before they moved from here.  She's a psy nurse, her hubby's a child psychiatrist.  If I ever get there, I'd love to meet you!   (love your picture!)

I agree as well.  Sure, it would be great if I got paid more, but for me it's the unpaid benefits that are worth their weight in gold.  I save money on clothes (not too many people can say their work clothes are comft PJs), gas for my car, and child care for my children.  I get frustrated like everyone else, but I think of all the good things I have going for me working at home, step back, and then jump right back into it. 

Well said Hayseed!!!
