I have a confession to make: I swiped the only chair in my house from my college's throw-out pile when they got all new furniture for the common rooms.  

Exhibit A:

This is literally the only chair in my house and it's a piece of crap, I generally use that pillow as an extra cushion but that gets bothersome after a while.  Seriously, my boyfriend and I eat in bed and our guests generally sit on the floor on piles of blankets (which is actually kind of hilarious when it devolves into drunken bouts of ghost tag).  I am living off student loans and don't have a whole lot of money so I've been avoiding spending the cash on a good chair.  However, with the hours I spend at my desk studying I'm starting to aggravate my back problems from a car accident a few years ago.  Since I am a terrible procrastinator I put off studying until the last minute and frequently find myself pulling all-nighters wherein I sit at this chair for upwards of 12+ hours at a time trying to cram as much knowledge into my brain as possible and cursing myself for NEVER. LEARNING. MY. LESSON.  A lesson that has been even more difficult to learn since I've discovered reddit.  Damn you hilarious, addiction-stirring, tear jerking, whistleblowing, cat loving, trolls, DAMN YOU TO SMITHEREENS.  But not really.  Please don't be under heavy load.  *I need you.*

I've been looking into buying one of those kneeling chairs since I've heard they've got a pretty ergonomic design and Lisa Simpson has one.  I also like the thought of taking away my option to lean back and "rest my eyes," because that generally leads to snoring which is not conducive to learning.  They're pretty expensive though so I wanted to ask you guys to see if A) they're worth the money and B) they're a practical choice for someone with such devastatingly awful study habits.  

Note: I am only asking for chair advice, not magical reddit altruism (save that for someone who needs it).
