The trick about low back pain is that the cause is your hamstrings pulling on your pelvis, which isn't intuitive. When you're sitting, this happens because your hips are flexed (bent forward). A good way to treat back pain is to get up from your seat frequently and stretch your hamstrings. Stretching other muscles near your hips may help too.

Sitting itself is bad for your back. Adjusting the seat isn't going to fix everything
