Listening chair suggestions

I use leather recliners in my room. The only issue I know of is you want the back of the chair not be any higher that your shoulders other wise it will be like cupping your ears with your hands.

I had the Ikea chairs and yes, great value and comfy. But my elbows started to hurt after a while because of the wood arm rests. Doesn't seem to be a problem for a couple of friends that also own them.

I ended up with Paliser brand "Mellow" chairs. They cost more than $100 though.

Ekornes or if you have money an Eames.

It's a pretty personal thing, both for comfort (body size and shape) and aesthetics. I have all kinds of chairs in the house- I use an Eames lounge and ottman- I'm a little over 6 ft tall these days (shrinking in height) and used to be heavier 230, now under 190- what appears to be a headrest really just comes up behind your shoulders- as to height relative to drivers, you just have to figure it out - there are usually measurements for most commercially available chairs that will give you seat height. FWIW, there is typically a considerable industry discount on chairs like this, so don't go into sticker shock when you see the retail (but buy a real one, not a counterfeit). Resale value of a real one makes up for the considerable price difference between it and a copy.

The thing that turned me off when considering Ikea Poang chair was that just about any slight movement on my end was followed by these tiny vibrations. So if you sit like a zombie in a chair, not an issue but otherwise not good.
