What is the best seating for productivity?


What kind of seating do you find best for studying, programming, or general computer work? I'm not necessarily looking for specific products, but more like features, sitting positions, etc. I know ergonomics is a big field, but I couldn't find much about this particular topic. Personally, I like sitting in a reclined position for long sessions on a laptop. I haven't experimented with one yet, but I've been anxious to try using an over-bed desk/table like you see in hospitals. What do you use? Do you know of any research in this area?

I guess it depends on what you mean by “productivity.” If that comes from quantity of typing you can optimize for that. 90% of my productive work happens in my head, maybe while laying on the sofa, maybe when out for a walk. I doubt my chair has much to do with it.
