Do you tend to sit upright with your feet flat on the floor? I went with a wide flat chair so I could sit cross legged. I’ve tried and disliked the ergonomic chairs that lean slightly forward
"Ergonomic" chairs in my experience force you into one position and don't accomodate people who shift and shuffle a lot throughout the day. Which IMO is much worse since changing things up is important.
Good ergonomic chairs are certified by government health and safety inspection service in our country to prevent ilness and injuries to workers and come with certifications like NPR 1813 and NEN 1335. My ergonomic chairs are fully adjustable to NEN 1335 specifications. I would not buy any office chair without these certifications.
Get a chair that is made for moving!

I'll be honest, when I first saw you had linked to essentially a barstool, I thought you were fucking insane. But as soon as I saw them tilt it in the demo video I was like "okay I gotta try that"
I'm glad you approve. It's also height adjustable, so you can use it in a wide range from completely sitting down to almost standing, just barely leaning into it. It's the perfect companion to a standing desk.
£519!!
Think of it this way: you'd spend 40k on a car you'll spend less than 200 hours with without batting an eye, but not 500 on a chair you'll spend thousands of hours on?
