I've spent a lot of time either in one of our La-Z-Boy recliners (reading, sleeping, or watching TV)
or this leather recliner (on the laptop)
But recently, when my back was sore, just a few minutes in either of these chairs caused it to get a lot worse. Although I would feel completely comfortable in the chairs, when I got out of them, my back hurt more. Note that both chairs feel as if they are supporting my back just right.
It's true that at that point, almost anything other than standing or lying down made things worse.
So the question is: when my back is fine, are these chairs putting stress on it? Can I use the compromised back as a canary-in-the-coalmine type indicator that there's damage being done that, in normal circumstances, I don't notice?
