I have a Stressless chair and ottoman.
Chair
I’ve been thoroughly bitten by the couch. My listening chair that is.
I’m forced to cut my listening sessions short due to lower back pain (chronic, result of an old injury). Looking to get something that would be comfortable enough to not aggravate the nerve in my tukhes and align properly with my speakers in a sweet spot.
Eames replica in leather? Ikea Poang? Anything else? What do you use?

+1 I also have a Stressless chair and ottoman.
I've seen them used and in perfect condition in a number of locations(Chicago & Sarasota) for about $1200. They sit a little low-ish, but offer good support. The cushioning isn't like a cushy recliner. It's thinner but pretty supportive. Comfortable. They make about a half dozen different models and each will be available in S, M, & Large to accommodate different height people. |
Ditto @overthemoon Ekhorn stressless. What I find that I like about them is that when you sit in them, you’re not constantly shuffling around trying to find that comfortable spot in the easy chair. |
The Poäng chair and ottoman are good, but they don’t suit everyone. I need to place an additional cushion behind my back; otherwise, I feel the need to hunch and tilt my neck and head slightly forward. With the extra cushion, my posture is corrected to a more upright sitting position, which feels much more comfortable. I suppose the ergonomics of the Poäng chair could be improved, but it may still suit some people on a case-by-case basis. Go try it yourself and see if it works for you. I’ve fallen asleep on it many times with the music playing. |
