What is your listening chair?

I am sure this has been discussed some time in the past, but I am curious what kind of chair audio nuts are using out there...
Just sold two leather recliners and bought two leather Poang chairs from Ikea. They seem to be better for listening to music.
What say you? What is your listening chair? Why do you like it or not??

Dux by Folke Olhsson in teak. It’s worth a lot of $$$ when restored. And mine could use a resto so until then it’s just my listening chair...

+1 for the Poang Chair (in leather) from Ikea. They are:

 

  • Extremely comfortable
  • Extremely cost-effective
  • Easy on the back to move around
  • Well-constructed
  • Place your ears at a good average height for listening
  • Don’t have a wad of “stuffed stuff” behind you ears

 

OK, enough already…

So....you guys have some nice chairs. I like the Poang(s) but I am feeling a little inadequate now.

Poang Chair from Ikea. Not a big fan. Oh, it’s comfortable and everything. But it’s bad for the sound. Must be the foam inside. Try taking it to another room, then listen again. There, isn’t that better?
