Anybody can recommend chairs designed for lower back pain suffers?
Some pics would be good and why they are useful.

Same here. I had them install a keyboard tray below the desk, but it's still too high. The guy across from me is 6'6" and has the opposite problem.Moonbear said:My biggest problem isn't with the chairs, but with the desks. They're all sized for grown men, and not for us petite women. If I adjust the chair so I can comfortably sit with my feet on the floor, the desk is too high for comfortably writing, and the keyboard tray also too high for typing or mousing. If I adjust the chair up so I can comfortably reach the desk, my feet don't really touch the floor and my legs get uncomfortable (and leads to sore backs too). I need someone to chop the legs off my desk! Actually, if they'd just carpet the floor, give me a few pillows, let me lean against the walls, and work off a lap desk, I'd be a happy camper.

Sounds like you have a much nicer chair. I should insist on a Barca lounger.hypatia said:The seat on my chair is not a mesh...more like a memory foam. It took me a while to get all the adjustments right, now it fits like a glove.
My desk was so out of the 60's, that I got rid of it right away. I use a mid-size confrence table, which is great, sometime I half to lay out a lot of photos and paper work.

But sleeping on something like a futon can cause back pain if you don't already have it.pivoxa15 said:Yes, from someone who have slept on both of them with back pain.
Moonbear said:There's a difference between a FIRM bed, and a hard, LUMPY futon. A little "give" is needed to make a bed comfortable, but should be firm enough to offer support too.
When searching for a chair to alleviate backpain, it is important to look for features such as adjustable lumbar support, proper cushioning, and adjustable seat height and depth. These features can help provide proper support and alignment for your spine, reducing strain and pain on your back.
There are several types of chairs that are known to be beneficial for individuals with backpain, such as ergonomic chairs, kneeling chairs, and recliners. These chairs are designed to provide proper support and promote good posture, which can help alleviate backpain.
The quality of materials used in a chair can greatly impact its ability to provide relief for backpain sufferers. Look for chairs made with high-quality materials such as memory foam or supportive mesh, as well as sturdy frames that can withstand daily use.
While there are other factors that can contribute to backpain, such as lack of physical activity and poor posture, a good chair can play a significant role in reducing backpain. It is important to address all contributing factors, but a supportive and ergonomic chair can greatly alleviate discomfort and promote proper spinal alignment.
It is often worth investing in a high-quality chair if you suffer from backpain. A good chair can provide long-term relief and prevent future pain, making it a worthwhile investment for your health and well-being. Plus, many high-quality chairs come with warranties and can last for years, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
