It's probably not the best, but I use a recliner and a remote keyboard/mouse with a tv. It's not the most professional, but my employers are more concerned with results than how I sit.

#13I purchased a lightly used Steelcase Gesture a few months ago. I had been using an Ikea Markus. It relieved all pain and discomfort I was feeling. I should have made the purchase sooner.
Ok, this is not a problem with the Gesture alone, but i'd really rather have some way to lock the armrests into position after adjusting them.

#14Ask for help in which work outs work best for that. IMHO yoga help me a lot and everything that look like plank.
Also, consider a Stan-up setup too. And I have discovered that different padding in your chair change the posture, so maybe try with different positions of the pillows or similar?

#16I start off in a random office chair. Mid-morning I switch to sitting on an exercise ball.
In the afternoon, I sit at the kitchen table for a while, and then move back to either the office chair or the ball.

#19I went from a crappy Staples faux-leather chair with terrible padding to this, and the comfort level is night and day.

#20You might want to visit a local ergonomics store to test-drive, if it's practical for you -- for example, I personally don't prefer Aerons because the mesh bothers me. Those kinds of personal preferences are better to discover prior to spending $$$ on something.
Also, don't discount the rest of your equipment -- equally important to my ergonomics are wrist support and proper monitor placement. A good-quality VESA arm will also last decades and be able to follow you around. Your monitor should be about arms-length from you, with the center of the screen falling about a hand-span below your eye line.
