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?

We just moved into our new house and I have been looking for a new listening chair. We were visiting my daughter in Bozeman and decided to go furniture shopping. I encountered the most comfortable recliner I have ever sat in. I haven't bought it yet so I can't give it a full review but I'm going to order one and pick it up next time we're in Bozeman (no dealer in my town). It's adjustable 4 different ways including lumbar support and the head cushion also tilts. If you can't find a comfortable position in this chair you're probalby out of luck. It's expensive (over $3K) but it should last me the rest of my geezer life.

I've sat in several Stressless style chairs and they were OK but not totally wonderful. This chair beat them hands down.

It's made by a Norweigian company called IMG and the model I sat in is a Verona. They have several other models that have this adjustability function. Here's the link:

Staples has a huge collection of chairs.   I loved this Sharper Image S-600.  

I’m currently using this mesh desk chair with multiple adjustments - along with a standalone footrest.

I also have a $3K Ekornes Stressless.  Don’t like it for audio - but love it for TV.  They show up regularly on Ebay.   Craigslist once in a while.

My L4 & L5 are damaged from sports injuries. Pain radiated to different parts of my body.  The pain completely disappeared when I started a regular yoga practice - 25 years ago.   When I’m really busy and don’t have time to do it, the pain returns.

My dream Audio chair is a dentist chair. I like the headrest that only covers the back of the head and doesn't reflect any sound. Besides this, a chair with a low-cut back is second.
