Hey i'm trying to find a chair/desk solution that doesn't have my back and neck hurting from working at the computer all day. Heres a couple i'm looking in to:

www.biomorph.com

but id like to hear what works for you. I'm a big guy (6ft 260lbs) so it needs to be able to handle a wide load : )

If your neck is hurting you're probably not sitting right, and no chair will fix that. Are you sitting back but craning your neck and head forward?

Jeez, those V1s look like the cockpit of a star cruiser or something.

yea I do at times, I try to stop when i catch myself. But my chair stops at my shoulders, do you think I need to get one with a headrest or just concentrate on better posture?

Better posture is cheaper. You might also have eye problems if you're leaning forward.

Haven't sat in a herman miller chair that wasn't ultra-comfortable and accomodating for a larger fellow such as myself (6'4" 210lbs).

Decent chair is important but its not everything. I have a $150 chair that I bought almost three years ago and it has treated me very well. However I have to consciously remind myself to work on my posture and stretch really often.

What about if i raise my monitors to make it so i have to look up more, maybe that would counteract the leaning in??

that first link looks like something a World of Warcraft pro would be fused to. They need a colostomy bag attached to it and it's good to go.

When you sit is your lower back against the back of the chair, or just your shoulders? What I tend to do is lean back but sit forward, which causes me to stick my neck forward to compensate.

I tend to to sit back but I catch my neck leaning in from time to time maybe i just need to straight jacket myself to my chair to make sure my posture stays correct
