i think
@Kaido (kitchen overlord) bought something recently and he no longer has back pain. said it was well worth the cost.
but dont remember if it was a new expensive office chair or mattress.
msg him?
As I've gotten older & creakier, I've started to invest in ergonomics more. It started out with the Microsoft 4000 keyboard (specifically that keyboard) for my wrists (carpal), then New Balance shoes with custom inserts for my feet (no more foot pain, yippie!), then a memory foam bed with a Medcline pillow, and then with COVID & doing more WFH stuff, an ALL33 Backstrong chair:

It takes a few days to get used to, and like someone else who has it here mentioned, you'll need a sitting cushion eventually as the pads are fairly thin & wear down quick, but once my body got used to sitting up properly after a few days, it completely zeroed out my back aches from sitting in front of the computer all the time. I kind of hate spending money on stuff that isn't directly awesome, like a super-cool kitchen gadget or a game console or whatever, but I would 100% invest in all of the stuff above again because my feet are pain-free, I sleep really well on my memory foam mattress (currently using a Zinus model from Amazon that was like 1/10th the cost of a Temperpedic), and my back pain went away with the fancy chair (way better than the Aeron imo!).
