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 got the Puang with matching ottoman. Dark grey fabric.  ( I hate leather) Had to tweak it a little. For me, it was a bit too firm and laid back too much. Needed to be more upright.

First was double the thickness of the seat cusion. Un-zip and add 2" foam cut to size.

Second was glue spacers on the rear of the leg support to create a little more forward lean but this alone wasn't enough. Put a couple of books on the floor first to test the amount of forward lean.

Third, easy, the Puang headrest simply flips over to the rear moving the back seat cushion MUCH more forward and sits more upright. A small thin pillow can be added behind the back cusion if need be. For me this worked perfectly and I love the chair.  

The chair is now super comfortable. Light weight and looks nice.

@lanx0003  Not sure if you're aware but the back headrest of the Puang simply flips to the rear moving seat position more upright and lowers the cushion height behind the head. Makes a huge difference.
