Chair Ergonomics

[gaze]

I always sit like this, I don't know any other way. It's very natural and comfy. Sitting with legs close is very weird

yea, I naturally sit like this too. never thought about it or that it was beneficial. Maybe that's how most humans -sit instinctually, im not sure.

Lower Back Pain, Sore Necks, Hunched Shoulders: How WFH Isn’t Working for Our Bodies

A year of being out of office has us bent out of shape.

"One first step toward improving alignment may be learning how to sit properly. According to Anselm, an ideal seat should be at a height where knees and hips are at a 90 degree angle with feet planted on the floor. (If you’re short, adding a yoga block can help.) Shoulders should be balanced over the hips; arms should not have to reach too far for keyboards and elbows should stay relaxed; and monitors should be adjusted so the center of the screen is at eye level. For low back support, Blakeway suggests tucking a rolled-up towel behind you. And consider your sitting stance: In this case, Medina says, the much-maligned man-spread is actually your safest bet. “That open-legged posture forces you to lift at the core, and the neck will automatically follow suit,” she explains. Regularly alternating positions between sitting and standing is also a good idea. “The advice I give my patients is to change your position often so your muscles don’t shorten and joints don’t seize up,” says Blakeway."

There are chairs that have the seat excessively tilted backwards, the sides are too elevated (like a canoe), edges aren't softened and corners aren't rounded, preventing the person from sitting this way.

Not being rounded and having these points can be one inconvenient in the example chair:

Conversely, seats tilted towards back induce slouching.

Indeed, but it's not a dentist chair, when tilted, it's often slight and the backrest doesn't have to follow. The seat not being wide won't lock the person in position.
