It's built like a tank, ridiculously wide, and has a decent tall back on it. Apparently it's rated for 500 lbs. I find it supremely comfortable, as I can lean to one side, slouch, sit up straight, anything. Sadly, I can't find it anymore so I'm holding onto it for dear life.

#13I sit and sleep on solid, hard surfaces. None of that springy, bouncy, squishy surfaces for me. My bed is custom build from hard oak wood with a very thin layer of cushioning. And my main work chair has also a solid wood seating area, with some thin cushioning of the base.

Not exactly that but pretty close.
It's surprisingly comfortable and happens to be at a perfect height for me, but not so comfortable that I can sit in it all day. This encourages me to get up and walk around every couple of hours.

#16Net/mesh chairs are just nonsense for me. Why is that even recommended? Is it because people sweat profusely when they sit?
Re: Ask HN: Where do you sit?
#17The trouble with chair recommendations is that the best chair for me isn't the best chair for you. If you are able, going to a warehouse or store of some kind where you can try the chairs out will make all the difference. To answer your q directly: I have tried Herman Millers in the past but they just didn't do it for me, too stuffy and I dislike the arms. I went for a Humanscale Diffrient World instead, it is all me…

#19I own two "Autonomous ErgoChair Pro" and I'm pretty happy with them. I have a standing desktop and I work standing around 30% of the time, daily.
