I tried those expensive chairs and sitting up straight and it gave me back pains.
After I read a study about slouching being better for you I got a gaming chair and switch between slouching and standing and have no more back pain and can concentrate for longer periods.
Posture is over rated.

Alternating between slouching and standing has had a positive impact on me. About 2 years into it working from home and I sleep better and haven’t had back pain since. (Prior to this I had an ergo chair and would alternate between sitting and standing.)

I grew up shrimped out in front of a computer and have a hereditary hump in my thoracic spine. Good posture hurt like hell. It was a process that took a few years and a lot of work. Stuart McGill is a good starting point.
