<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I finally gave up on contacting Soma directly. Instead I found a store in California that carries many different types of chairs, including Soma. The woman I spoke to was very encouraging and helpful, and asked that I send her pictures and dimensions of my furniture, which I did, but I never heard back from her.

<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I finally gave up on contacting Soma directly. Instead I found a store in California that carries many different types of chairs, including Soma. The woman I spoke to was very encouraging and helpful, and asked that I send her pictures and dimensions of my furniture, which I did, but I never heard back from her. In fairness, I haven't checked back with her either because my massage therapist is of the school that believes that a strong back can sit in any chair, pretty much, so I've been working on positioning the keyboard and experimenting and exercising more before I go to making that big investment without being able to actually try the chair first.</p>
<p>Good to know, however, is that the Soma chair is quite a bit less expensive through a retailer than through the manufacturer's website. The website I tried was called Ergoprize.com . I'm not sure they actually have a physical location, but the soma website has a page listing quite a few dealers in the Northwest.</p>
<p>One thing I do agree with that she said, I need to chair that fits a very small person. So if anyone does try the soma chair or any of the others you happen to be small, please keep me posted!</p> p.s.

<p>Here's a product that I just ran across and am considering buying. It's not specifically what you're looking for, Stacey, but it might help those of us who are looking for something that is portable and that would provide back support on jobs.</p>

<p>Update:</p>
<p>I gave up on contacting Soma directly and found one of their dealers, Ergoprise.com . I'm sending them measurements and pictures of my setup and they're going to make recommendations. They carry all kinds of interesting ergonomic products and were particularly sensitive to the fact that I'm very small. I suspect they're going to be very reasonably priced, too. </p>
<p>I'll keep you posted.</p>

The one I have is terrible and my PT is not happy. I saw an ad for a Nada product - it looks interesting but don't know anything about it. It's not a chair; it's something you wear connecting your lumbar and bent knees. I agree that Staples and Office Max have not been helpful and would love to be able to try something that works, preferably a chair. I know they can be pricey; $800 is really too pricey for me, though, at this time!</p>
