Well, if you see my chair, it's not the most expensive chair. I cannot show you, but it's not an expensive chair. But I bought this... Backrest. I had bought an expensive chair and it was horrible. I couldn't, you know, I couldn't work well. It didn't support my back. I like space to move my shoulders and that was blocking my shoulder.
But then I bought a less expensive chair, a backrest to fill that space here of my lumbar spine, and I'm fine. So what I recommend my patients with back problems is it doesn't need to be the most expensive one, but it has to be one. Sometimes it is the most expensive one. Who knows?

But it has to be one that supports your back, that you can relax, that when you're sitting, you're not thinking about your back, that you're comfortable. You know, the seat, not too hard, not too soft. And for each person is different. So they do need to go to a store and test some different ones. Buy something that you can have a refund if you don't, because that's what I did.

I bought one very expensive when I renovated this office. And then I had to return because I really couldn't use that one. So buy one that you can return and get a refund if possible. And try the same thing for pillows and mattresses. There is no recipe, Drew, for, you know, you have to buy this pillow or you have to use this mattress. Each person is different.

Really, the mattress, the chair, the pillows, they're not the main drivers of chronic pain. We know now because there has been some trials, they gave the best pillow to people and they compared to a less exciting one. And there was no big difference to treat people differently.
