This is a lot more important than you would've first expected, but is very important if you want to save for back, neck, and every other important bone in your body; in the long run...

• It's best to have your back and your neck in line with your spine at 90 degrees, but restrain yourself from staying in this position for more than 10 minutes, as staying in that same position for a lond period of time, is just as bad as being hunched, to refrain, try having a break, a quick streatch every ten minutes or so.
• The "right" seating height should put your head (eyes) in line with the monitor, and place your wrists/arms at 90 degrees to your back and neck. But to get the best outcome, is to have a specially designed ergonomic chair and keyboard, which automatically does all the work for you, leaving you with a straight back and neck. As for the keyboard, it puts your hands at a natural position.
• Your knees should be at 90 degrees to your feet
