For years I have struggled with backpain. It’s kinda part of the territory I suppose as I’m sitting at a desk for at least 8 hours a day blogging but everyone used to tell me to change my chair and I just dismissed them saying ‘Nah, it’s just my crappy fibromyalgia and I’ll just have to live with it.’
It got to the point though where the pain was just quite simply unbearable. Plus, it’s so difficult to sit at a chair with hot water bottles on your legs (heat really helpe my pain) when you’re sitting at a typical desk chair. So, I went on the hunt for a new chair.
Have you ever had to search for a new desk chair? Normally we’re just given them when you start a job which inevitably has questionable stains from your predecessor and you just put up with it, right? Well, when you work from home and you’re your own boss, you can’t count on those skandy hand-me-down chairs anymore. But there are so many types to choose from. Ergonomic back, memory foam pad, mesh material for breathablity. Some have pumps you can inflate for lumbar support, others give you no option for an customisation to improve your posture. I mean, it’s a minefield.
When I told my best mate what I wanted to get, a nice soft, wide chair where I can sit any way I wanted, she replied “I don’t think that will help with your back problems, you need something that will support you.” And, sure, I get that, and it’s great advice for a ‘normal’ person, but for me, with my chronic pain disorder, I need to be able to change positions frequently and sit the way I’m comfortale, not the way HSE tells me I should. So I set off to find something that was the complete opposite to anything I’d ever sat in before and waved bye to my lovely and aesthetically pleasing original desk chair.
I came across this chair, the Witham Swivel Recliner Chair via Google on Dumelm’s website and while looking at it, I ws surprised to see it in their office chairs section as it looked a bit low, but it looked perfect. Plus, added bonus, it came with a footstall which would be great from stopping the inevatable swelling I experience in my feet due to the fibro. £226 was a lot of money to spend on something I had to drive 1hr to collect and then build myself if it turned out it was wrong. But I took a leap of faith and ordered it. And I’m SO pleased did!
My daughter and I had a girls night in (she’s 3) and after I’d made us pizza’s, painted our nails and we were watching PawPatrol for the hundreth time, I said “Hey, shall we go build mummy’s new chair?” she jumped up, super excited and off we went and I’m incredibly proud to say that we built it all on our own and without the help of the hubby!
I will admit to putting the arms on backwards, but hey, we all make mistakes and actually it was really straight forward to build.
The instructions were clear and how the nuts and bolts were laid out in special numbered pouches really helped to see what went where. Plus, it gave me a teaching opportunity with my daughter to help find the number 13 screw. Perfect!
Ok, so there was definately some user error on my side while measuring the height of my old chair and comparing it to the new chair and I was faced with being about 10cm lower than normal and I nearly cried at the propsect of having to send it back. Luckily, I have a very handy hubby who sawed off the legs of my desk so the desk was the right height! So, be warned, if you buy this thinking it’ll fit a standard height desk, it won’t. But don’t let that put you off because this chair is A-Mazing!
I’ve been using this chair now for 10 days and I’ve had zero backpain, zero neck pain. Plus, the cat really seems to love it!
If you are looking for a super comfy chair to sit at for 8 hours a day and like me, need to change positions all day long, invest in this chair. You will love it as will your back!

Thank you so much Rehayema, I definitely understand that. To straighten your back when wearing heels you should try to adjust your posture. One way you can do this is by holding your chin up and lift your chest. Another way is wear shoes with small heels and gradually increase the height or try wearing wedges. Liesa Jone Jaehne

This is fabulous! What a timesaver and very important this Thanksgiving in particular when we will be dining alone. I will miss Thanksgiving with the usual crowd of 25! It will just be my husband and me. I love so much of the Thanksgiving food items, that I have decided the best way to still get to eat them all is to include them the rest of the month in all my regular dinners. You hit all the important dishes we usually have too! I just want to say, instead of onions, I will use pancetta in my squash. That is one of the traditional dishes we usually have. What a perfect and timely post and wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stay well! Casandra Town Graig
