You make it sound so complicated. Are you overweight? When I got my first Salli Twin due to sciatica I was sitting 14 hours a day on it in the first week.

Also, the expensive models are made in Finland while the $300 models are made in China for the outside-EU market.

I have a delicate ass.

Well THIS certainly is not a sentence I ever expected to read on HN!

Sitting on anything 14h/day is a recipe for disaster!

The same goes for standing if one has a standing desk, and for any other position.

You should vary your position regularly (every hour, for example). The simplest solution for this is a desk where the height can be changed easily (maybe with a motor), so one can sit for a while, then stand for a while, and so on.

I've seen desks like this at Staples. There's a simple linkage, and the entire desktop raises.

The simplest solution is a chair made for a standing desk.

I’ve done that but I never liked the lack of options for foot position. You either have your feet tucked back on the foot pegs or they’re hanging. Neither were optimal for me (maybe partly because I’m tall and having my feet on the pegs felt like i was “tuck g up”.

I know what you mean, having had to use those chairs myself, but a less than ideal chair is a less than ideal chair.

I only had to use the 'bad' chair because the good ones - with a proper foot rest - had been snagged.

With breaks and exercise of course :P

Also, I have an extra Salli Twin I use while cooking and doing dishes in the kitchen.
