Backed. Eager to see innovation in the sitting market. When I worked for ITA Software we had an ergonomic consultant available, and it took half a dozen chairs until we found one that worked for me. After I left I tried without the chair for a few months, and back pain persisted. Ended up buying the chair ( http://lx.tc/chair http://lx.tc/chair - note: Amazon referral link ) for myself, and things have been pretty good since.
But I still believe things can be better. I see colleagues struggle, going between standing desks, different chairs, seeing massage therapists. As a nation many jobs are shifting to knowledge-based work, and people are spending more time in chairs. We can't leave everyone with back problems as a result.
Even if this ends up not being the ultimate solution, I think its great to see work and innovation to move things along and encourage others to spend time looking for answers.

- lowboy 13y agoWhat is the name of the chair?
- Zaheer 13y agoI'll be the brave soul who clicks the link. The chair is called: Sprinkle-Black Global Total Office Stamina+ 24 Hour Office Chair with High Back and Posture-Tilter

- postitnotecode 13y agoI have limited experience with a standing desk, but what are the downsides to that system vs. ergo chairs? It seems like it would be much cheaper to outfit an office with all standing desks and work areas.
