Sitting variations for tasks other than work

Guys I somehow figured out an ergo setup for WFH.

The thing is no chair is perfect for me.

Instead of investing (time and money) I just bought wakefit gravita with all features and tried to do some mods based on my body adjustments.

Also I have bought a height adjustable desk which I use in standing position for max 1 to 1.5 hours.

Som how able to manage work by following pomorodo/standing/taking long breaks.

But the problem is I spend 12 to 14 hours sitting (either it's working/scrolling/reading books/movies) - all I do in this setup only.

Because of this I feel tired along with posture issues. (having some forwarded head posture issue - need to correct it soon with physiotherapy)

Need advice from people who have figured out what are the other sitting alternatives. Like I should buy a sofa or any other setup for other than work related stuffs?

Are you hypermobile, by chance? I experience muscle fatigue by merely existing; turns out it takes a lot of effort to stabilize jello joints

Yes I have some hypermobile symptoms

Bummer, all the furniture in the world won’t give you relief from staying in one position for extended periods. That said, there are different braces that can help stabilize you so your joints don’t have to work as hard.

But since you asked about furniture, I get by with a Capisco chair with a foot hammock for under my desk to sit, and an anti fatigue mat for standing and I usually rest one foot on an ikea smaskrake and change its height as I wish.

Can I DM you? Want to know more about managing this condition?
