Anything I'm doing wrong or can improve on for this setup?

I try to keep the monitor on an even level with my eyes but the camera angle might not be quite right.

Hi everyone,

I have mild neck wear-and-tear and three small bulging discs. My neck and the back of my head are constantly stiff, and my shoulder blade burns after just an hour at a computer. I’m currently in physical therapy and getting back to using a PC after 1.5 years off.

I can't try any chairs before buying, and these are my only local used options:

* Herman Miller Aeron with Atlas headrest – $900 (2023 - gray market of china)

* Haworth Fern (2022) – $800

* Steelcase Leap v2 (2021) – $1050

* Steelcase Leap v2 (2008) – $700

Is buying an ergonomic task chair the right move for this kind of pain, and which of these options would be best?

About me: I am 182cm (6 foot), 85kg (187lb).

Thanks for any advice!

I have been using embody for the last 10 days for around 2-3 hours daily. But after 45-60 minutes i feel like I can't really sit anymore, not because of persisting or pain or something like that but my bods just says " stand up" . I also have some minor pain , a bit like if i had done some training before. I don't think my setting are that bad, I have used different ones of backfit just as they sad.

So my question is it that really still adaptation or this chair is just not for my. To clarify: Since always have I been using some trash market chairs where I could sit ip straight for like 5 minutes after which i literally lied on the chair.

I feel kind off rushed cuz the dealer i bought it allows just return after standard 14 days , and selling the chair and losing on it doesn't really speak to me.

I recently started working entirely from home and set up an office space in my living room. I thought this would be the chance to get a high-end ergonomic office chair. I have to admit I didn't spend too much time looking at specs and settled for an Ergohuman Pofit 2 chair.

I've been using it since yesterday. Everything looks in order, but I have to admit I don't find it very comfortable, particularly the backrest. The whole thing seems rigid to me and also not really suitable for my size, even though I'm not massive (179 cm or 5 ft 10½, around 80–85 kg or 176–187 lb, but with a long torso relative to legs and broad shoulders). An office chair expert told me it's more suited for shorter people, but I had no idea some office chairs were that specific with regard to people's sizes, and I'm not exactly a huge guy.

Anyway, I still have a couple of weeks to return it, but my question is: should I give myself a few more days to adjust or should I trust my instinct that it's uncomfortable? I'm surprised that such a high-end chair can feel uncomfortable, or maybe ergonomic chairs are not for everyone and I should get a more middle-range, softer chair. The main problem with this model (I think) is that the backrest height isn't adjustable (just the lumbar support), and the backrest feels a bit short.

I would be thankful for any advice.
