Great 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.
