What are important features in a listening chair

perkri -
yes, but more so that the sound does not reflect from the back of the chair directly into my ears. Also, I want to hear the back wall reflections to give a realistic audible impression of my visual surroundings. I like the audio-visual environment to be integrated. Otherwise, I might as well just use headphones.

The IKEA Puang Chair takes a lot of heat from yours truly due to the foam they use in the chair. It’s a Trojan Horse. It might be the worst thing ever foisted on gullible naive audiophiles. Makes the sound all weird and phasey like. Very reminiscent of SONEX, another sonic catastrophe.

I use a Herman Miller office chair at the moment, with a low back, but I feel like I'm in a classroom listening to my teacher... To make it even more comfortable, I have had to add a cutting board on top of the cushion to help with my sciatica. So, I've been wanting something more comfortable. @geoffkait  Agree re: Puang, considered it for a brief second, but then realized I would be basically putting a pillow behind my head, and thats no good... 

@dweller Would really like some head/neck support also as I have a bad neck and lower back - thank you reckless youth - but don't want to have the headrest part interfering to the sound as per @whostolethebatmobile.

Am thinking of something with a light mesh, but curious if that will cause any diffraction of the sound or if it would work more like a speaker grill cloth and be "mostly" transparent.

Totally misunderstood (as usual).
