You really think one form of sitting is better than another? I think I'd rather alternate between slouching for 40 minutes and then walking around for 10 then to sit at a desk. But, we'll see how my experiment pans out!

(I worked from a couch at WeWork for a year prior to this and it didn't seem to ruin me).

I've been told so by some back professionals. I don't think it's that one form of sitting is better than another, everything else being equal. It's more about the neck alignment to the direction of your hips, which couches are notoriously bad about.

It probably makes the difference that you have a swing arm, and aren't looking at a machine on your knees.
