I suspect it would be better, but I would also like to see a study.  I work from home and have been experimenting with fairly non-traditional setups:<p>- sitting on a small stool with no back support.<p>- sitting cross legged at a low table<p>- standing with my keyboard at about elbow height.<p>All three are surprisingly good.  I thought I would miss a chair, but I do not in any way.  The stool is the least effort, but requires me to be careful of posture or else I get sore muscles.  Standing is quite nice as long as I remember to keep shifting my weight around.  Sitting cross legged is still difficult for me (lack of flexibility) for more than a few hours, but probably makes me feel the best when I&#x27;m done.<p>Eventually I want to transition to sitting cross legged for most of the day, but I think it will require a concerted effort at training my body to accept it.  I&#x27;m a bit worried about blood circulation in the legs, though.<p>My &quot;office furniture&quot; has come in quite a bit under budget with these schemes, though.  I spent the equivalent of $10 on the stool.  I use my closet (which has a surprisingly convenient shelf in just the right place) for standing.
