eli5:Why does slouching feel more comfortable than sitting up right?

593 views

Got a new chair which is meant to help support better posture due and been sitting in it for 2-3 hours and the lumbar support is causing discomfort and it feels so nice to just slouch and lay backwards where my lumbar is floating like im curling my body.

When you’re sitting upright your muscles are keeping you upright and balanced, which is very slight but still real exercise. When you’re just slouching your muscles are totally relaxed and not using any energy. Your body prefers to avoid using energy, so it feels nicer.
