I used those “kneeling” chairs for many years, in which some of the weight is shifted from your butt to your knees. They’re also backless, and that’s the problem — no back support. I ended up hunched over all the time. [And couldn’t put any papers on my chair.]
So I got an Aeron chair and it has suited me well for several years. Don’t get a foam-y substitute. Recently I elevated my computer so it’s truly at eye height. That forces me not to hunch over and it works very well for that. The third factor is the mouse position. At desk height I found I was raising my shoulder all day with painful results. Lowering the mouse down to roughly lap level made a huge difference for me.
