According to the British Chiropractic Association 32% of the population spends more than 10 hours per day sitting. It has been found from research that the 90 degree sitting position causes greater spinal disc movement than any other sitting position.

Apparently a sitting angle of 135 degrees puts least pressure on discs. Information obtained from the BBC NEWS: bbc.co.ukView the BBC website.
