LOL. I saw the Hula Chair on "The Dr.s" episode yesterday. I must say the chair looks very interesting, but the realization of actually getting any work done while setting in it - is slim. Dr. Stork tried it out on the show - it was quiet comical. I couldnt work while my lower body is turning in constant circles(well not productively anyway) but maybe others could.

As far as your question..I have a really comfy office chair from Wal-Mart. I think it was around $90.00. It has different positions and levels, soft too. I hardley ever set at my desk, but when I do - its comfy.

I sat on one of these chairs at clients office the other day and WOW. It DOES forces you to keep your posture. I think this will my upgrade chair. I'm not sure what the price is on it. http://tinyurl.com/7x4dj5

A co-worker of mine uses a 'ball' chair. I have tried hers and it helps with posture but the one Bette linked to looks sturdier with the same concept.

My hubby got me an awesome new office chair for christmas this year from Costco. All soft leather and memory foam. I totally love it except it's a little deep and so my short little legs don't touch the ground in it, but I just use a little stool under my desk to fix that. No way I was going to give up that chair!

I've always wanted to try THIS kind of chair though since it's supposed to be good for core muscles and posture. A woman I used to work with had one the last time I visited and she said she really liked it but that she still went back and forth between it and a regular chair.

When I sit at my desk I use an exercise ball as a chair. My son got me started after seeing a teacher use this in a classroom. But I do have to caution, don't bounce up and down while sitting on it or you may fall off!

I also saw the Hula Chair and wonder how you would actually get anything done while working on it. Looked like fun though.

Man this is not good looks like most of us need new chairs (me included)! I dread to think what damage we are doing to ourselves. That ergonomic chair looks really cool.

Lol I am currently sitting on a wooden spindle back kitchen chair, I feel IKEA calling.....

The HULA chair? I just saw that video and cracked up!!! No way could I ever focus on that! Neat idea, though. I just got this one back in July, and I like it.
