Having tried various expensive chairs (HM Aeron, Steelcase etc) and footrests, I finally just went for the floor option

Lower back compression pain is gone and my mobility has increased a lot in just a couple of weeks

The main things I wanted from a setup were:

Ability to position my small 13" laptop screen close enough to compensate for the drop in screen size (used to 27" monitor at desk)
Quickly standing up and moving to my standing desk with minimal equipment faff (hence downgrading back to using just my laptop)
Having a very light table for keyboard/mouse so I can move it easily, whilst still being able to have my legs under it in various positions
Good keyboard/mouse height whilst having screen higher

When using a regular chair/desk, I was ok in the short term but felt pain when working longer hours and couldn't really switch to many positions.

Now, if I get minor fatigue, I can just move my leg position and reset to a new position easily.

The extra movement, plus going from the floor to standing throughout the day, has been a massive physical boost.
