What are important features in a listening chair

I hear you!  https://www.google.com/search?q=live+or+memorex+picture&tbm=isch&hl=en-us&chips=q:live+o...

@dweller - I have not seen this one, that is one special looking chair there! Haha

I had to put my chair up on 4x4s to get my ears at the center of the ESL point source hot spot. 

Good Lord, I have an Ikea Puang and now I have to upgrade that too!?! Work and travel allowing, I listen in the chair 1-3 hours 3-5 times per week, and it is certainly comfy enough to fall asleep in and I like the springiness the frame allows. Is it the head cushion or the materials that make it inferior?  Eames, Erskonne and similar have a "pillow" behind the head like the Puang.  Don't get me wrong, I love these other chairs but my audio $$$ will not be spent this way....yet.

I guess the next obvious question is the need for isolation -

They say the Poang is wrong for listening but my experience says otherwise. There's this audio dealer close to where I live and he's got some very high end gear and he has at least one Poang chair. When I sit in it, the sound is as clear and pristine as the other two chairs he has. 

Maybe if you were behind it, it would interfere with your hearing but it works for me. In fact, there are times when I wished I'd got a few of them and saved a bundle over what I bought.

All the best,
