What do you sit on?


As my system has improved I am spending more time listening but my "sweet spot" is not as comfortable as I would like. I'm looking at new chairs, recliners, etc.  This is one topic I have not seen discussed on Audiogon. What kind of chair, perhaps what specific manufacturers are favored by experienced audiophiles? Maybe a little crowd sourcing in this area might turn up some overlooked gems in the way of listening room furniture.

Loving some of the suggestions on this forum. Always wanted a Classic Eames and will definitely be on the lookout for an Ekornes Stressless .

Currently I am sitting on an antique (1920s?) rattan chair I bought off an outdoor furniture store for $50 (A customer wanted it refurbished, and when he was given the estimate he abandoned it). I refurbished it myself, added 6inch foam from an old sofa and a pillow for backing. A lumbar pillow supports my lower back, and I can sit for a couple hours without too much discomfort from my L4/L5.
The home theatre chairs available are worth looking into as they are built for long term use, support and adjustability - a bad back can be assuaged by a half hour spent in a reclined position.

My speakers require rather anal set up using a laser so my HT recliner is set up with index marks so I can get it back into original position if I move it inadvertently.

A theatre seat that seems comfortable in the store for 5 minutes may not be for several hours, but it can be hard to buy one with an option to return it after, say, a week if it doesn't please.
