    I use a rolling chair or a regular chair. I would worry a folding chair would not give me adequate support.

    I'm not considering a folding chair anymore. Just looking for a chair. Someone suggested a saddle chair so I'm going to look at those. But since I have to order online I hate to get something that I might have to return. Our staples closed.

    What kind is it? I think I should not have bumped this and just started a new thread. Everyone is still answering the original question.

    I like my swivel office chair with its arms. It rolls around easily on the carpet. I can't imagine being comfortable in a folding chair or even a stool for very long.

    I'm not looking for a folding chair anymore. I wish they could lock this thread.

    I got a nice rolling desk chair at Ikea. Very reasonable, but back and seat are adjustable and quite comfortable. Someone told me you can get a great wire/mesh piece to fit over the back that just fits your spine. I love mine.

    You can adjust the position of the chair to the correct height of your DSM. That is really important.

    I adjusted it all the way up and it was still too short. I put bigger wheels on it. I ended up getting an inflatable bubble thing for the seat but haven't tried it yet.

    I agree with the armless roller chair, however I have recently bought 3 in an effort to find a comfortable one. I have problems with sciatica and unless the seat is flat and not puffed up or padded in a curved way, it bothers my hip. Funny that I use these chairs at work without a problem but they are actual office chairs and much more expensive than the one's from Menards, Sams etc. I now have one of those "Forever Comfy" chair pads from Wallmart on the padded chair but that's not the greatest either.
