I had some Knoll Barcelona replicas that were great, at first, but offered no head support for those long sessions to doze off on and got to be a PITA to get up from.
Still working on a better solution.
All the best,

Your audiophile chair
I am searching a quality lounge chair to listen to music.
I like a lot VIPP brand, the 488 Model.
Any suggestion?
Surfing the web on european websites, I found a funny seat....
Felice Rossi - RAM lounge chair. Design: No Picnic | J. Bergfeldt.
May be this chair is some solution to some reverb sound from the room. The structure in enameled steel tube, seat and back in polyurethane foam are covered in leather V 118.
Thank you.

the Ekones Stressless is an excellent chair for lounging. i use one for TV watching, have owned 3 or 4 over time, and really like it when i have the back reclined. but for listening to stereo it’s not ideal, in that mostly it cups the sound around your head, and it does place the weight on your tailbone when your head is at the tweeter height. so it’s a 2 hour chair for serious listening. there are Ekones Stressless chairs with lower back rests that don’t cup the sound, but the tailbone issue remains. so it’s compromised. OTOH a perfect chair/zero gravity chair from the relax the back store, with a fixed back and thigh support and a weight transfer for your lower legs unweights your tailbone, so you can sit in it indefinitely. some ’perfect’ chairs have issues with also cupping the sound, but my perfect chair has a narrow back rest and head pillow and so reflects sound away from your ears so no tonal shift. i’ve owned my ’perfect chair’ since 1999, 24 years now. i can and do listen for 12 straight hours with it. i’ll be buried with it. |
I had the EKORNES “Stressless” recliner by reputation …yes , it’s a good option. With a large home reno, I stumbled onto an ETHAN ALLEN top model Leather Recliner ….It is better in build, body support, and comfort for me . Who knew ? … = Bye bye “Stressless”. Highly recommended. But you would be best served by actually test-driving it for yourself.

I’ve had this one going on three years and it’s the best I’ve ever had. just the right amount of softness, but not too much, and power headrest. All controls are at your right hand. I found it more comfortable and adjustable than the Stressless, even though they are beautiful. Then there is the added advantage of not having a large separate footrest. I loved getting rid of that.
