What type of chair do you sit on when coding?

I have a leather one with arm rests. The chair is gas lifted and it can go up and down. Unfortunately it is not that adjustable and it can't recline it can only spin around. Plus it is disintegrating because of the leather 🤣 In terms of comfort and ergonomics its not that great I have been debating getting a gamer chair or something that can at least recline for better comfort. Because when you sit for hours in front of a screen its not great for you health especially when the chair is not the most ideal. What about those of you out there with standing desks what are they like to use for extended periods of time do you get fatigue?

I got a gaming chair, it forces me to sit correctly (is very uncomfortable cross legs on it), and use reclined is very useful while waiting builds

[Remco Gubbels]

Same, or during meetings :)

These gaming chairs seem to be the most comfortable out there unless I am mistaken?

It comes with different sizes, a wrong one for you height, width and weight it will be a horrible experience. The most common ones try to replicate a racing car seat, which is built to force the same position, at first is weird, but with time the benefits are clear.

I also use a gaming chair and I can't ever imagine to go back to a "normal" office chair. It's so comfortable and at the same time so ergonomic. My back already thanked me for that ;)

I sit in a $50 chair I bought off Amazon... Yeah I could probably upgrade. I'm not currently suffering any physical issues that I know of, but it doesn't check a lot of the ergo boxes.

I've been working from home for almost a year now, and the SecretLabs Omega has been a life saver considering I've had issues with my back for the past 15+ years. Very adjustable and considerably affordable in the realm of gaming chairs.

I never used to have serious back issues but this chair I am using needs to go the comfort has all but gone. I need to use a cushion to give it extra back support otherwise I get back pains.

Drawing isn't mine, but it's kinda accurate. And just at home, ofc. In office, I have some average-okish office sit-thingy :)

It sort of reminds me of a kings throne :)

this thing:

it's comfy, but I have terrible posture so it doesn't help there. otherwise, it's a good chair :3

This looks awesome...

Where can i get it?

[Pandita]

I got it at Office Max :D

I went to the junkyard and got a really comfortable car seat... Put it on the base of a broken computer chair I had laying around... Car seats are really nice to sit in for long periods of time.

[Andrew Baisden]

Wow creative care to share a picture of what that looks like?

[Jason Ormes]

Here you go... desk is a little messy at the moment.

[Rabin Chakraborty]

This is mine and i am not joking 😔

[Ben Sinclair]

As I've had scoliosis since an early age (14, now 20), I've forced myself to sit on a excersise ball for the longest time, it straightened out my back a bit and its 'fun' to sit on.

Someday I want to go back to a luxury chair.

Mostly I sit in my recliner with my laptop on a lap desk. I also have a regular computer desk chair at my desk, where I sit for video calls. I recently got an ErgoStool for more active sitting, but I can't sit on it for very long because the cushion is not very soft.
