- jrockway 16y agoProbably not very good for you. Here's a thought experiment -- hold your arm straight out for 8 hours. Does it hurt? Yeah. So why would it be a good idea to keep your back unsupported all day?
- chancho 16y agoSitting in one of these (goofy, overpriced) chairs does not involve tensing any muscles other than those used for balance, which don't really get tired, so that's probably the worst analogy on the internet today. These chairs are meant to rest your legs, not your back. Your back doesn't need to be supported all day. It is the support. There are people who stand for 8 or more hours a day, you know. And they're healthier for it.
- cesare 16y agoI forgot to mention that I've used a cheap knockoff (and even goofier) model of these chairs for a couple of years. And it was quite comfortable indeed.
- ramidarigaz 16y agoI dunno. They're really comfortable. I haven't sat on them for more than about 2 hours in one go, but my experience with them has been good so far. One thing though, the one I've used isn't a rocking chair; it has wheels instead. The rocking may make a difference.
