#43I have a skeletal deformity in my neck that causes severe cervicogenic headaches. One of the best ways to relieve them is to rest the front of my head on something, or even push against it. If anyone finds a place these are available in the U.S., please let me know. This could be a game-changer for me where nothing else works well.
They look like a massage table, without the rest of the table.

You're right, there is certainly nothing in our evolutionary history to suggest that "working all day" is a natural human way of being.

#48Inflatable ones have been around for a long time. They have a hole for your face and hollow cavity to breath inside. I bought one on AliExpress few years ago for about 10 bucks. Still haven't tried it yet, but they are supposed to be for sleeping on trains, etc.

I don't think you have to go back that far. Before electric (and maybe gas lighting) it would be hard to have people working outside of the hours of daylight. Sure you could do some stuff by candlelight but it wasn't cheap if I understand correctly.
