I was wondering where do HN users sit and if they recommend it.

#2To 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 mesh which is perfect for summer. I'm able to lead a sedentary lifestye in it without discomfort.

#5None 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.

#8Net/mesh chairs are just nonsense for me. Why is that even recommended? Is it because people sweat profusely when they sit?

#10Also set up your workplace correctly. First adjust chair so that feet are lightly on the floor. Bend your arms by your sides at 90deg. Where your hands are there should be you desk/keyboard. I have 2 bricks under each leg of my desk to make that work. Then your monitor at eye level - I have a laptop screen lower but a second monitor as main work place at eye level. Works for me.
