Listening chair?

I'm in the process of completing my listening room and would like some suggestions for a chair. I've heard that fabric is good is it will help absorb some of the high frequencys. Also, the seat back shouldn't be higher than one's ears and the chair should place your ears at the same level as the tweeters.

I like the looks of several home theater-style chairs, but they always seem to come in leather (which I don't want). Also, they can cost close to $2k. I'd prefer to spend no more than $1k. Any favorite brands? Thanks.
