Listening chair?

I'm in the process of completing my listening room and would like some suggestions for a chair. I've heard that fabric is good is it will help absorb some of the high frequencys. Also, the seat back shouldn't be higher than one's ears and the chair should place your ears at the same level as the tweeters.

I like the looks of several home theater-style chairs, but they always seem to come in leather (which I don't want). Also, they can cost close to $2k. I'd prefer to spend no more than $1k. Any favorite brands? Thanks.

I copy-catted Mike's chair and it is very comfortable.
It is also on the Relax the back retail store website.
I just love the chair, also comes in suede type cloth
with options like viscose ( Temper-Pedic type) elastic. BTW, there is also a competing brand to Mike's Delta and I believe this one is called "Perfect Chair." It does have the high back which is above ear level. I am not sure how bad this is, but I do know that it is something I no longer think about. Thanks Mike.

The two that Relax the back retail store had were:

1)Backsaver Zero gravity (Mike and I have the Delta model)
recliner. There is also an Alpha model as well as a
powered version. MY Delta has the viscose fill option.
Its so comfortable I would set an alarm before each side
of your record ends.
2)The competing brand is the Interactive Health
perfect chair. I pulled both of these out of my
2003 relax the back retail catalog. I checked out
their website and they only seem to list the Perfect
chair so they may no longer carry the Backsaver ZG.
