I'm a fan of active sitting. In Germany we have "Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V." (working group healthy back) and they publish a list of "Active office chairs" (Aktiv-Bürostühle) with their seal of approval at https://agr-ev.de/de/ratgeber-produkte/produkte/2837-aktiv-buerostuehle https://agr-ev.de/de/ratgeber-produkte/produkte/2837-aktiv-b... These chairs aren't for everyone, i encourage you to try them before you buy! The ones i know personally are - Aeris 3Dee Super nice chair, very ergonomic, quite pricey, starting at around 1000€ - Dauphin Stilo with 3d-balance system Bought this chair for my adult son who is super happy with it and uses it lots. Costs around 550€. I may buy one for myself, too. - Haider Bioswing I bought a used chair with this mechanical principle and it's pretty good but not as good as the other two, at least for this (quite old) chair. A new one would probably be more ergonomic

I bought a "Swing Chair" back at the final Macworld Expo - after a long day of walking around the exhibits sitting in the demo chair was so satisfying - and it's been my main chair during Covid (with varying use over the prior decade). Other than the arm rests wearing out and a set screw I should replace it is still in great condition and allows me to sit comfortably for longer than I probably should... They are no longer in business :'( https://web.archive.org/web/20160422143349/http://www.swingchair.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160422143349/http://www.swingc... This seems pretty similar, but I haven't tried it: https://www.eurekadesk.com/ergonomic-chair-swing-chair.html https://www.eurekadesk.com/ergonomic-chair-swing-chair.html I bought a glass corner desk around the same time that's still in use, most likely because it and the keyboard tray seem to be the perfect height for me/the chair. I can't recommend an under-desk keyboard tray enough, if you don't have one I'd strongly recommend investigating it.

Spinalis looks to be similar idea, available in Canada. I had a lot of lower back pain that went away shortly after I started using it. https://spinalis-chairs.ca/ https://spinalis-chairs.ca/
