SITBACK
Hammacher Schlemmer Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair
$600; hammacher.com
This office chair comes with a mesh support system that gently cradles your spine and improves your posture. The mesh keeps the sweat off of your back during those long hours at your desk.
PRO Use your own body weight to automatically align the chair, rather than fiddling with a bunch of levers.
CON Good luck getting Corporate to reimburse you on this one.

RUBBACK
Brookstone iNeed Lumbar Massage Pillow
$70, brookstone.com
Strap this pillow to your office chair and let the mini shiatsu massager knead away tension, aches, and pains. The pillow fits neatly into the small of your back, relieving your lumbar region.
PRO Adjust the pillow for an upper-back massage, or place it on the floor for a lying-down treatment—well, maybe save that for home.
CON The word “shiatsu” might worry HR.

KICKBACK
Foot Traffic High Top Socks
$8, joyofsocks.com
Don a pair of socks designed to look like shoes—Converse hightops, to be exact. These cottonblend men’s socks also fit female feet, letting just about anyone roam about the office in black or gray “sneakers” without the boss noticing a dress-code violation.
PRO There’s no need to resole these pseudo-sneaks.
CON No pair that resembles Gucci penny loafers. Yet.
