i made a zero-gravity workstation for my recliner

i have a chronic illness (me/cfs). as such i have found it more difficult to use a normal computer desk setup for long periods of time, which i need for study and personal use. so, i designed and made this custom zero-gravity workstation through the combination of various products i could find online for just ~$300 usd, and it has been life-changing for me. i really hope that this can inspire others to make something similar for themselves if they need it, and i hope you enjoy my thorough explanation of it. :)

this is a video version of a blog i wrote about this setup. please feel free to read it here if you are interested: https://sincos2.wordpress.com/2025/12...
