In a 1978 cycling accident I suffered an spinal injury known as sponodylothesis at L5. It is inoperable. For years I had an Eames Chair, which I recently had refurbished and then gave to my son in-law. It was OK, but never great for me, but it served for many years. I also have an Ekornes Stressless, which I believe is somewhat better. Somewhat. About 8 or so years ago I bought a Zero Gravity chair from a company called Relax Your Back. Serious money. It is somewhat better than the Stressless. Somewhat. All three of those chairs are leather. Leather is the bane of music, it reflects, it just affects the sounds. About 5 years ago I bought a reclining sofa from LAZY BOY, kinda ugly, over stuffed cloth thing. It is so comfortable there are nights when I leave the bedroom and come out to the music room to sleep in it. And the bonus is, cloth chairs/sofas absorb sound, they don't reflect it, so it is possible to work them into the room treatment scheme. As an added bonus, LAZY BOY is competitively priced.
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?
