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?

I got my mother one of those, she made it until age 101.

Like anything else, they come in sizes. Once she agreed to let me buy her one, Lazyboy in Maine sold my mother a chair they had in stock, it was made for tall men, she was a small woman. I visited, saw several pillows in it, asked her, found out it was too deep for her short legs, did some research, raised hell, made them exchange it for a proper size version.

I had a great office chair I wore out: these days, it is hard to find what you visually like to actually sit in at a store, and similar models can be quite different regarding comfort. I bought and returned two, finally found one in a store that I liked, gave them a chance to come close, they wouldn't, ordered it online, but at least I knew it fit me.

If it fits your body, and doesn't give you pain, if you know it is good quality and gives you comfort, think of it as well worth the price, the most important piece of gear you own!

Keep cost low: Bed Bath and Beyond is now online only via Overstock, low price, many color options. seems the footrest is independent so you can stay upright with legs supported, some, the foot only come’s up as the back lowers, not good for listening to music. 

the open base is far less heavy looking than most recliners, other models

at this low price, if it doesn’t work out, it may cost you too much to return it, plan on alternate use, yard sale, give to someone.
