Ask HN: What kind of computer chair do you use at home?
- bluekeybox 15y agoHerman Miller Embody.
- Khao 15y agoI am either sitting on the couch with my laptop on my knees or at a standing desk.
- steventruong 15y agoSome leather desk chair (don't even know the brand).
- benologist 15y agoSame ... not sure mine even has a brand, it's just a desk chair heh.
- olsonea 15y agoI stand! juststand.org
- michaelpinto 15y agoThree suggestions: 1. Go to the store, sit in the chair, and buy the one that feels comfy but won' break your budget. Other than that don't worry about it. 2. From my past experience in the web 1.0 era I've found that startups that focus on furniture over their own product don't do well in the long run. 3. The real thing you want is a HUGE whiteboard.
- dutchrapley 15y agoGreat suggestion on #1, and I recommend looking for a store that specializes in office furniture - not Staples or Office Depot. When I started working from home, I did exactly this and sat in two dozen different chairs. I settled on this one http://www.bestofficefurnituredeal.com/Eurotech-Mid-Back-Ergonomic-Task-Chair-Aviator-FM5505-Green-Mesh-Fabric_10049.htm http://www.bestofficefurnituredeal.com/Eurotech-Mid-Back-Erg... and never had a sore back from it in the 2 1/2 years I sat in it. Now that I'm back in an office, I sit in a Steelcase Leap and have enjoyed this chair, too. Just don't randomly pick one based on reviews, try them out. Even check to see if your local office furniture will let you take one home for a test drive.
