Dumb question? WHAT IS YOUR SEAT/ CHAIR?

I am starting the build of a dedicated room, and I am deciding on which seats to use. I am very fond of the Jacobsen egg seat, which is a rather tall one person chair made of fiberglass, with cushioned fabric:

My only concern is that the seat is about the same height as the top of your head when seated, so your ears are "blocked" from the rear reflections/echoes/etc. Has anyone experienced with different seats/couchs and noticed any noticeable difference? Should I only worry about what is coming from the front? Or should I be worried about losing the rear reflections?

These are very comfortable to actually recline on them, and would suit my deco a lot!

Thanks for any input

I have a nice soft recliner that I can easily fall asleep in. It's soft fabric, so I don't know how that affects the sound. Is well padded, but I can definitively say that when I recline, the sound is much different than when upright. Seems intuitively that in a relatively empty room, the material used to make the chair would have some effect on sound reflection/absorption.

Anyone know of a Corb LC2 knockoff (the chair in the Maxell 'Blown Away' ads). Looks like it would be the perfect chair but not about to spend $1200 on one!
