My Logitech collection is growing :)
The Ikea Markus is shit. If it's fits you out of the box that's great, but for the majority of users having an adjustable base, adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support is a requirement so chairs actually fit us.

Reintroducing sitting?
I've found that the chair is the most important thing, and not the pillows, I use an Ikea Markus. The thing is that the chair needs to have a proper lumbar support, so most of the tension will go on the lumbar area and not on the pelvic area. An electric heating pad on the sitting area also helps.

Do you adjust the Lumbar support from time to time or just set it up once?
I'm 185 cm tall and weigh 110 kg. I switched from Ikea Markus. The big problem for me is, the lumbar protrudes much more strongly, the more I recline in the chair. So if I sit upright, I have to protrude it 1/3rd of the way up to not sit like a shrimp. But when I want to recline, it suddenly pierces

Need advice on this chair
Try Markus office chair from Ikea. Bit expensive but worth the investment and helps your back and posture very effectively

chair suggestions
I don't have any major issues like you cited, but I do have a bad back and really need a very supportive chair because I sit 8+ hours a day for work. For years I've used the IKEA Markus chair (I've worn out two of them and on my 3rd). If you have an IKEA nearby probably worth checking one out. Very

Has anyone purchased furniture from NITORI? How was it?
Did you get the one with reclining footrest? I was considering their office chairs too and was split between one of their model with the footrest and ikea Markus but in the end I went with IKEA instead because of the backrest

Need some honest opinions on the Omni SE before dropping cash
while it may not be an exact match, i have the regular version and it is quite abit better than the ikea markus chair i have been rocking for years. i don't really use the massage feature but being able to adjust the lumbar is a really nice touch. and since i got it for an insane price, i can't real
