> Can you recommend a chair

No.

I'm going against the grain of most replies here. It isn't a specific chair you need (perfectly good, bog standard office chairs are fully adjustable and ten a penny) but to instead take regular stretch breaks and don't slouch.

If I was a Silicon Valley geek, I'd recommend regular 10 minute yoga breaks, but since I'm British I find frequent walks around the garden with a cup of tea do the job just as well :-)

The longer I have worked from home (15+ yrs) the shabbier my chairs have gotten.

Spending $2000 on a chair 10 years ago felt like an 'investment', but ultimately I found I still got fatigued even after focusing on posture and all that.

I currently sit on a folding metal chair at my desk out of laziness. I take walks around my garden and breaks to get water almost every hour. It works for me, your mileage may vary.
