Favorite programming chair?

People trying it for the first time seem to be amazed by the feel of the mesh, and my experience confirms that the mesh part itself is indeed truly excellent. However, I never really got comfortable with the feel of the front edge of the chair under my legs, which I find too hard. And generally speaking, the way the frame is built make it really uncomfortable to use the chair in any other position than the standard sitting one. I wish often that I had a chair that I could cross one or both of my legs lotus-style, sit sideways or even in reverse, with the chair’s back in front, like you can with regular dining room chairs. With time, my conclusion is that aiming for a single “best-practice” posture does not work. You need the flexibility to change your posture often, even if just for a few minutes.

I’m also not a fan of chairs that have a hard edge, my lower legs and feet have a tendency to go numb in those cases and where it’s squeezing again the bones in my leg gets super sore. I also tend to sit with one leg cross on the chair or I sit entirely cross-legged (and I tend to change every so often) so a chair that doesn’t facilitate that would be quite painful. In addition I exceptionally hate sitting at a 90 degree angle, puts pressure on my spine that I do not at all enjoy, and I instead prefer about a 135 degree angle as it is both ‘enough’ to sit on while laying down enough for full support. I’ve yet to find a chair that I find actually comfortable for my usage but I keep looking…
