Best seat cushion for my mesh desk chair for working from home, for my poor bony butt bones, and my legs don't fall asleep? (sh.itjust.works)

You can also find steelcase chairs on eBay for reasonable prices. They have all the adjustments and a wide variety of material options.

I’m sorry, I like my chair. I’m looking for a seat cushion.

I tried the purple cushion and it wasn't worth it. But besides that I don't have a recommendation.

That's very useful info, actually. Thanks!

Can't recommend this enough. I found a lightly used steelcase leap v1 on Craigslist for $120 (one owner). It was the same price as what I paid for a new EZBoy office chair from Costco, but the EZBoy started falling apart after less than a year. This Steelcase is over 15 years old and it looks and feels better than the other chair did when it was new. My back pain also went away when I got it, but I got a new mattress around the same time so it was probably a combination of the two... I do sit at my desk for 10+ hours a day, though.

There are other similar chairs (eg. Herman Miller Aeron), and while I hate to recommend reddit, I haven't found a better source for info on second hand high-end office chairs. If you're considering a new office chair and suffer from back pain (sorry OP, I know you aren't looking for a new chair), consider a higher-end used chair.
