Do you have a chair that is particularly good for stretchsitting while at work? Have you given up on a particular chair as useless? Post in this topic so we can all benefit from each others' experience.
I have given up sitting on the (very expensive) Aeron chair provided to me by work, and am currently using a folding chair like those Esther uses in her classes. This is not ideal for me(it's a bit too low, not well-padded, and I miss having wheels), but the process of "auditioning" new chairs is slow and frustrating. Share your experiences!

I'm curious about this too. The Aeron hasn't been entirely satisfactory for me.

I dug out a cheap "secretary's chair," from the basement and took off the back and the arms. I now have a sloped-seated (to encourage anteverted pelvis), height-adjusting (to let my thighs relax downwards), and wheeled (so I don't yank at my spine when I move around) kind of stool.
My sensations are that my tail is no longer under me, but behind me, my torso is "stacked," and my arms are pleasantly hanging from my shoulders to type, etc. Best of all, I arise from this "new" chair upright, instead of my former first four or five steps from the chair all bent over in great discomfort.
In addition to this being better for my body anatomically, I am beginning to notice that my loathing of desk work is receding. Maybe it was the discomfort!
Thanks, Esther!
