One of my freelance clie= nts recently bought me a Mirra chair (by Herman Mirra -- oops, Helen Mirren -= - oops, Herman Miller) to use at their office. I've been happy with it so fa= r (editing 3-4 hours at a time with getting up every 45 minutes or so to str= etch; I'm 6'4" at 230 lbs, by the way, with blue-green eyes). They also have= a Mirra 2 ("Even Better!" according to HM website), but it was easier to or= der the Mirra (via Amazon) versus Mirra 2 (via HM directly) what with not ha= ving to type in address and such (yes, I take the most direct route when the= y ask me to get it ordered).

At home edit suite I've been using a Swing Seat chair (t= he back and the seat rotate independently; their website ishttp://swingseat.com ) since seeing it at a MacWor= ld Expo sometime in the mid-00's and have been fairly satisfied with it. Tho= ugh the Mirra is more modern, more adjustable and more expensive, I'd say (w= ithout the swinginess), including better support when I'm "leaning in." = ;

And yes= , chiming in on "No matter what chair or standing desk configuration you cho= ose, remember to change position/get up every so often!" There are multiple a= pps to remind us to do this, of course (on Mac, PC, phones).
