Desk Chairs, We All Have One

What this guy has done, I have basically done. The
science is showing the optimal way to sit is a 30
degree reclined position. It's far better for your
back and it's better for your circulation to have
your legs up. I have a swing out shelf for the
laptop puts the screen 15" from my nose. I have
a shelving unit next to the recliner that acts like
a desk for holding items. Never had a more
comfortable work environment, I never feel
sore, me legs never hurt from sitting too long.
I hate office chairs now, this is way to get things
done.

Then you need to up your office chair game ;)

I upgraded (see also: finally bought one instead of picking out of the dumpster) last spring. I don't even sit in my recliner anymore, it is that comfy. They've come a long way, and every bit of it is adjustable. Height, seat distance from back, seat recline, back recline, lumbar, arm rests, and probably more that I'm not even aware of. If I cut a hole in it and ran a bit of pipe, I'd never have to get up ever again.

Does it elevate your legs, that's the important
part, so your circulation is better than having
your knees bent.

No, my feet rest on my sim racing pedals, so it's kind of like a ottoman set up.

But I'm fidgety on account of my back. I change positions every 10 freaking minutes. You would not like being my plane neighbor.

That's the point of this, takes the pressure
off your back and spine. I'm typing in it
now, at a 30 degree angle, feet in front
of me.

In my surveillance days, I was damn near horizontal lol.

But it doesn't matter. There is no longer a position for me that doesn't hurt. It's better, certainly.

I highly recommend a pair of glasses [special prescription] that focuses properly with your screen 2 feet away or so.

I stand about a third of the time now, at work and at home. It takes a little getting used to, but feels much better.

I'm hoping you can make a YouTube video on how to mount an office chair.

Here's a good one. They take the seat out of a Ferrari. It's only $25,000 and you get to pick the color of the base:
