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?

Stressless with battery operated recline and footrest.  The footrest unfolds from under the chair, no issues with floor space.

@skywachr - I've had a real Herman Miller Eames chair and ottoman for 3 years, and my opinion is that it is extremely comfortable and a purchase I'm very glad I made.

You outta try the classic Eames replica. Find a retailer that sells one with real wood veneer and top-grain leather. It comes in standard and tall versions.

@lallitk yes absolutely. It’s on the list. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

I have an original Eames and ottoman, but I still get lower back pain after long listening sessions. I suspect the right pillows/bolsters would help, but I am moving soon and the listening spot is more likely to be a new sofa. So I will evaluate those carefully for comfort.
