"even in a great chair, sitting all day is uncomfortable." I disagree. At my previous job, my chair was extremely comfortable. I could work 8 hours in it with no discomfort whatsoever. I found out just exactly how good it was when I switched jobs and ended up in a really lousy chair. I had pains that I didn't know where they were coming from. Turns out the 'good' chair had made my back muscles lazy, and I was now using them again. It took a few weeks (and a slightly better lousy chair) to get back into shape. I haven't pushed for a better chair at work because I realized something. When I went to a conference, I had to sit in a folding chair and my back was so bad at the end of the first day that I didn't go the second day. I blamed the chairs. But in retrospect, I know it was my back that was the problem, not their chairs. I'd rather not train my back not to tolerate normal chairs, so I haven't gone for a deluxe chair again.
