HÅG Capisco review
User found the HÅG Capisco chair highly effective for reducing back pain when used to alternate between multiple postures every 20-30 minutes. Initially misunderstood its purpose, but now uses it to sit sideways, backwards, and kneeling rather than traditional sitting. The chair's design supports sitting with an unsupported lower back like a stool, with option to lean back when tired.

- Retailers often allow trial periods of a few weeks
Cons

- Not for everyone
