Getting comfortable at my desk

Hi,

Has anyone found a good set up for your desk at work? I have autism, ADHD and dyspraxia and find the usual office set up painfully uncomfortable. If I really need to focus I work on the sofa or in bed instead.

Grateful to hear what others have found work for you

  • I have problems with office type chairs and recliners, few are made for tall people and even fewer are made for tall women, our backs are a different shape to a mans, even with moveable lumbar support they're not right. I use a kneeling stool and have done for years they're designed to keep your spine straight but relaxed, so as you breathe properly and I don't find I get the sort of aching and slumping I get with normal chairs.

  • I used to work for a American office furniture manufacturer and have dealt alot with expensive chairs - this Ticova  is what I have used for 2 years solid and for the money (which is several times cheaper than a brand new steelcase or Herman Miller) is's very comfortable and I sit down for extended periods every day

  • Professional ones can be overly expensive because they sell to companies.

    But no matter the brand you want to try it first if you can. You might want to visit a few shops if possible.

    At home I have a gaming chair. It is the same as a good office chair but actually more comfy.
