It's a pretty personal thing, both for comfort (body size and shape) and aesthetics. I have all kinds of chairs in the house- I use an Eames lounge and ottman- I'm a little over 6 ft tall these days (shrinking in height) and used to be heavier 230, now under 190- what appears to be a headrest really just comes up behind your shoulders- as to height relative to drivers, you just have to figure it out - there are usually measurements for most commercially available chairs that will give you seat height. FWIW, there is typically a considerable industry discount on chairs like this, so don't go into sticker shock when you see the retail (but buy a real one, not a counterfeit). Resale value of a real one makes up for the considerable price difference between it and a copy.
Listening chair suggestions
I now have a dedicated listening room and I am searching for just the right chair to place in the sweet spot. I'm considering a recliner or maybe one with an ottermen. I thought an ornate barbers chair might work but it seems difficult to transport. Suggestions are welcome.
