At the start of the pandemic, I was using my girlfriend's piano bench, but she wants it to be at her piano. Now, I sit on an Ikea bekväm step stool. For decades now I've dealt with lower back pain, but that's almost entirely gone ever since I stopped sitting (and slouching) in office chairs. Sitting on the edge of a hard chair encourages good posture (for me? for classically trained violinists?). It's not terribly comfortable on the sit-bones! That's a feature: sitting motionless isn't good for you.
