This looks like what I bought from Target online a few years ago. It was comfortable for a while. The problem is that the seat is actually pretty narrow so that each thigh was actually resting on the plastic part, not the bungee cords. If you're thin, you might not have that problem. Also, I don't think the back of the seat can recline. I have a huge collection of seat cushions and I did end up resorting to them with this bungee chair. I ended up getting a refurbished Leaf(?) chair but it gives me butt problems too. I just recently bought a Roho Mosaic wheelchair cushion ($89) which seems to be okay so far but time will tell. I learned about this from one of my wound care reports.

The cushion is completely flattened from my big rear end, and now I can't sit for more than a hour without the numb-butt feeling. I'm looking for a good chair but, of course, I'm on an MT salary, so I can't pay top dollar. I'm thinking about $150 or so. Any ideas? ...

I'm looking for a good transcription chair. When we started working from home I asked to take my chair and told I could not. I even offered to buy it from them but still could not get it. I want one that adjusts in height and has arms that move in or out as well as up and down. The chair at the hospital was over a $400.00 chair and it was so comfortable. If anyone knows of a good place to purchase one of these over the internet please let me know. &nbs ...

Good morning, Wound care physician states "The patient was brought in by portable S/L CHERRY chair, was driven down by the driver, not a trained medical attendant" Cant document the CHERRY part. Not sure if it is a slang term, brand name or what. Thank you in advance. Hope everyone is staying busy! ...

Can anybody recommend a good chair? I am petite, 5 feet 6 inches but small and need cushioning. I need a chair for an extended day (12-20 hours), preferrably without arms, which seem to get in my way. An affordable one not over $400 if possible and fabric, as it is always hot where I live. Thanks ...

Does anyone have some suggestions for a good quality office chair, an ergonomic model in particular which focuses on support for the lower back? I've been able to get away with relatively cheap ones for over a decade, but after a back injury last year, the cheap ones are killing me. I've tried back rests and cushions with no relief. I've looked at some floor models in supply stores and online reviews, but can't tell which one would make a difference. I'd apprecia ...

I wanted to share my chair info with every MT. I recently read about the Body Built Chair and decided to check it out. I did finally purchase the chair after much hesitation because it cost so much. I love the chair so much! I am so pleased I purchased it. They do have a 30 day return policy. I was having pain and discomfort in my lower back, my legs, my butt, every where it seems after years of transcribing. I have purchased several chairs. ...

I'm trying to use just my balance ball right now. I have some low back problems and find that my posture is horrendous with sitting in a normal office chair; however, just the balance ball alone seems to be a little too low. Overall, it feels more comfortable on my rear end than my normal office chair and I'm definitely sitting up straighter, but wondered if anyone else out there had any experiences, good or bad, with using a balance ball or the balance ball chair setup.&nb ...

My computer chair tore up, so I needed to get a new one. I tried some out at the store and got a cushy one. After I put it together and sat in it for 30 minutes, I had severe pain. It felt like my whole body went numb and tingly. So I had to take it back. I got a second chair and can tell it's not going to be comfortable and that I will need to take it back. I'm sick, tired, and frustrated about this. Not at the stores or the people that work there, because it's not their fault ( ...

I am looking for an ergonimic chair/saddle stool with a back or arms to buy. They are very pricey new, but I thought to see if anyone has one that just did not work out for them here. If you have one and can send me pictures and my basic deal is I am very short and need one that the seat will adjust pretty low/ ie in the neighborhood of 16 inch height I would like to hear from you. Thanks ...
