I'm hooked on Ikea stools/chairs for work. My back just can't deal with those mushy OSHA-compliant office chairs. My recommendation would be to head to your nearest Ikea and try them all out.

The other thing that really helped my back pain was getting some Alexander Technique lessons from an experienced teacher. YMMV, of course.

Best of luck!

Which Ikea chair did you go with? I unfortunately don't have an Ikea close by so can't try them out.

I got a Vågsberg/Sporren: https://ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/spr/29006662/

I definitely wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't tried it out first, though.
