Have you tried a Herman Miller? I once thought like you, but the magic of Herman Miller for me is that I can sit in the same position for hours and I never think about it, consciously or subconsciously. When I get up I don't really feel anything. Which is how it should be. Having to move every thirty minutes to feel OK is a sign of a bad chair.

It's a sign of being a human being in a body which evolved to move. Even if you're not in physical pain, moving regularly is by far better than not for your health.

I didn’t, but now that you mentioned it, I would definitely try it out of curiosity, what model do you use?

I don’t think it’s a bad habit to move periodically, which is something you do even while sleeping anyway.

I like the Aeron. A corollary of what I wrote is that if you just sit in it for a few seconds or minutes at a store, it doesn't feel special. If you work at a decently sized company or have access to a coworking space, you can likely find an Aeron somewhere.
