Chair


I’ve been thoroughly bitten by the couch. My listening chair that is. 
I’m forced to cut my listening sessions short due to lower back pain (chronic, result of an old injury). Looking to get something that would be comfortable enough to not aggravate the nerve in my tukhes and align properly with my speakers in a sweet spot. 
Eames replica in leather? Ikea Poang? Anything else? What do you use?

@audphile1 - I fixated on this question because the comfort of your listening position is paramount. I tried the Eames chairs and, despite everyone saying they’re comfortable, found them not so. 
 

I strongly recommend the Papa Bear Chair with Ottoman which you can purchase from Modernica in LA. It’s a mid century classic from a Danish designer. It’s incredibly relaxing to sit in and you and adjust your position easily. It’s also a great reading chair. And it looks beautiful. 
 

It’s made in LA and you can custom order your fabric choice too. 
 

I have two of them as my wife took over the first one I purchased! 

@audphile1 - The key to the chair is the ottoman. Once you put your feet up onto the ottoman, the chair becomes rather ideal for listening to music. It’s a veritable relaxation zone. 
 

That said, I saw some of the other suggested chairs and I’m sure some also offer ultimate comfort. I am always looking to balance comfort with design aesthetics.
