Actually OP, the best position for the lower spine to be in is about 130-140 degrees. This keeps your lower spine healthy.

>>35315211
Yeah I know. I was careful with my wording but all I mean is not to over engage your lower back

>>35315175

people who use chairs like in your pic are going to ruin their backs anyway

good chair = no problems

You can push ur neck backwards in all those positions and work on ur neck muscles at the same time you play pony games

You are correct in your observations of the forwarded neck tilt. However this can almost always be adressed and corrected with propper training. The problem with sparring your neck and sitting up straight is the strain on your lower back. As you probably know, lower back problems are known to be half-chronic and never go away. Where the neck isn't at such a high risk to becomming chronic. Therefore i would advise to spare your lower back, and let your neck take some of the beatings instead.

I believe getting the lower back pain while sitting depends on how you keep your pelvis while sitting

>>35315424
You can spread your legs to "simulate" the standing pelvis position. But the spine will always be in a healthier in those 140 degrees than sitting upright.
But there is some degree of truth in your statement. People have a tendency to "slide forward" with their pelvis when sitting in a 130-140 degree position. To counter this you just have to raise the angle a bit to about 120 degrees.

That's not forward head posture. What matters is that the neck is vertical in relation to gravity, not in relation to your spine. Your spine doesn't have any problem being bent as long as there is nothing pulling on it at the same time.

what if im laid down on my bed and my laptop is on my stomach?
