I am too. Father said that my backborn will destroed. May be games will shorter and can play on bad like in gta V and programming with laptop on the table. I played before on the table with laptop and mostry worked and gaming on desktop. Linux games does not need desktop. Windows games need powerfull computer. I saw image where man stay near table with laptop. It is hardly for the first time but after it is OK.

Try VR. They need motion.

I used to work from my bed, but eventually had to move to a desk because it was messing up my sleep schedule. If you get your body/brain used to working while in bed, it can be hard to get a good night's sleep. My desk/workspace is still in my bedroom, because I don't have an office, but it is far enough from the bed to allow me to sleep peacefully.

I sleep and working in bed. Sometimes I sleep two times in day totaly 16 hours. May be because I ride a bicycle 1-2 hours (and electrik bicycle usually 18+18km).

I work in my living room, sitting on a recliner, with my laptop.  Not ideal but quite comfortable!

I sat before on soft chair and not big table with notebook (laptop). Table shattered and back was too far away when relax.
I sleep in living room (parlour). I hate battery. Furnace like firewood.

I currently work in my bedroom, on my bed, which might be destroying my back slowly. Although am planning to eventually move into a two bedroom place and make one room an office, so I can feel smug about it.

Eeeewwwwww! Alice no, no and no! Can you not get some sort of (correct) table and chair into your bedroom? 

Take it from just one ( I know for a fact there are others) who knows about damaged backs. Do NOT go there!

I agree!

Even my current desk chair, a retro/modern leather chair, causes me serious back problems because it doesn't have the necessary supports. (But I keep it because it was expensive and it's cute.) As someone who already has severe arthritis, you really don't want to risk developing it down the road because you worked from your bed.

As another person with a problem back (I think it must be the norm, not the exception) I agree with Nichola and Madison. Don't risk it!

 

For a few years I worked standing up...till my knees got worse than my back. Now I'm sitting again, but I have a better chair, and my back's not too bad. For a long time I used one of those kneeling chairs (with a support below your knees and no back rest) because those were recommended for bad backs. They're supposed to improve your sitting posture. But my sitting posture was incorrigible, and those chairs proved terrible for me. I really need some back support.

 

Now what I need is some new glasses. A couple of years ago I got varifocals. But they're affecting my posture, because I can only see the screen in focus when I look through the bottom of the lenses. I'll have to get some single-focus glasses with just the right focal length for using my computer.

I know I shouldn't do it. It's a space issue at the moment, although at a push I could probably get a table and chair set up in the kitchen space. Can you recommend a good chair?

I like my chair 🙂

I might be the odd one out here but 'cushy' chairs - no matter how good and/or expensive - aggravate back issues for me.  A hard chair works best; the dining room table is my desk so the level is perfect for laptops.  The hard seat forces you to have better posture.

 

Freelancing is actually easier on my back that my long-ago corporate corner office with all the accouterments.

I have multiple workplaces. My office desk. The floor. My bed. The sofa. The dinner table. I just need to be close to a wall socket. So I can plug in my laptop.
