What about sitting on the floor, cross legged or legs extended. Would that be better than sitting on the chair. Any study on that matter would be good too.

- mikekchar 11y agoI suspect it would be better, but I would also like to see a study. I work from home and have been experimenting with fairly non-traditional setups: - sitting on a small stool with no back support. - sitting cross legged at a low table - standing with my keyboard at about elbow height. All three are surprisingly good. I thought I would miss a chair, but I do not in any way. The stool is the least effort, but requires me to be careful of posture or else I get sore muscles. Standing is quite nice as long as I remember to keep shifting my weight around. Sitting cross legged is still difficult for me (lack of flexibility) for more than a few hours, but probably makes me feel the best when I'm done. Eventually I want to transition to sitting cross legged for most of the day, but I think it will require a concerted effort at training my body to accept it. I'm a bit worried about blood circulation in the legs, though. My "office furniture" has come in quite a bit under budget with these schemes, though. I spent the equivalent of $10 on the stool. I use my closet (which has a surprisingly convenient shelf in just the right place) for standing.
