Chair

The Eames chair has been replicated over the past 60+ years for a reason?  Add the right small cushion for lumbar support if needed?  I've looked at the Stressless furniture in the past, but just can't justify the asking price. 

@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.

What's your budget?

We have a vintage Stressless chair and ottoman from about the late 70's, early 80's and it's still in great condition.  It is sooooo comfortable.  It does need a button restitched, but other than that, it's fantastic.  We bought it used for a few hundred dollars about 5 years ago and it's been great.

From what I've seen, the Eames chairs, (my dream) used are around the $3500 range, or so.  But there are some replicas that might be fine for you.  

If you buy used, you can always get most, if not all of your money back if after a while you discover the chair isn't working for your back.  

First, don’t look for perfection.  The best case scenario might be ten minutes of comfort at a time.  Assemble a collection of inexpensive, lightweight seating pieces.  Use a series of blocks, to adjust for height.  When one option loses its comfort, replace it with another.  Remember to move around (on your feet) periodically.  This can get the blood flowing plus provide a mental break.  Be open to experimenting and audition seating surfaces that seem counter-intuitive; these may just yield the best results.  Isn’t that what you’re looking for?
