Am trying to return to work and wondering which is better purchasing harachair or a zero gravity recliner. Haven't had an opportunity to sit in a hara chair. The zero gravity recliner seems to be better in the sense that I won't be sitting at all on the pelvis. The downside is that it may affect the lower back.
Any inputs? What do people use for long meetings at work?

I kind of recline, sitting on the edge of my seat in long meetings. Having said that, they are not exactly 'edge of my seat' meetings.ramana wrote:What do people use for long meetings at work?

Re: harachair versus recliner(zero gravity)
Need some help in choosing a chair. Ergonomic department in the company says try these chairs http://www.relaxtheback.com/catalog/sub ... ages=false My manager is not willing to let me have a recliner chair for two reasons
a) expensive and even if I purchase it
b) other employees may object to giving me 'special' treatment
So any ideas on much more discreet arrangements. e.g I already have a good chair just need an incline so that I can stretch my legs out. Right now I am trying to work by propping up the feet on the table and then ignoring the pain by deep breathing. I wish there were a separate incline that I can stretch my legs out on.
