I'm sure some of you can relate
i work from home, sitting at my desk for 8+ hours a day on a cheapo office chair and it's fuckawful
is there a good guide on monitor/desk/chair/keyboard placement to make my back suffer less?
also, what is an affordable go-to chair, i've heard mesh ones are good

Consider a standing desk with a nice foam mat and some good supportive shoes. Otherwise, if you're dead set on a chair, then yes there are guides.
OSHA (I think it's OSHA) has a rating system for chairs based on the number of hours a person sits in it daily. You want a 10+ hour rated chair. It will cost you, though.

I know your feel OP.
my current chair is murdering my back, and I don't really know why. I used to have a flat-back chair that felt okay on my back, but the the back of it couldn't move forward or backward, and the thing that made it move up and down broke. Anyone know of a chair with similar price and adjustment options that you don't think will kill my back?

OP, I just replaced my generic "leather" office chair with a Steelcase Leap that I got brand new for $200 on Craigslist and it's one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. Invest in something nice that actually offers you the support your back needs. You can find $900 chairs like Herman Miller and Steelcase for affordable prices since they are bought and liquidated in such large quantities.

Don't get a standing full time, you'll hate it. Get a convertible.
Trust me, it's awful
