What do you sit on?

As my system has improved I am spending more time listening but my "sweet spot" is not as comfortable as I would like. I'm looking at new chairs, recliners, etc.  This is one topic I have not seen discussed on Audiogon. What kind of chair, perhaps what specific manufacturers are favored by experienced audiophiles? Maybe a little crowd sourcing in this area might turn up some overlooked gems in the way of listening room furniture.

Check out the IMG Comfort line out of Norway at your local Scandinavian furniture shop when things permit.
https://imgcomfort.com/us/collection/They have motorized & mechanical recliners plus the two piece chair & ottoman style and couches, etc. Fantastic leather choices, extremely comfortable and ergonomic--fall asleep in one all the time.  I met them years ago at the CES after buying one recliner retail locally, then bought another. Highly recommended.

@millercarbon,
Is this the chair you were thinking of,,,,https://relaxtheback.com/collections/zero-gravity-chairs/products/novus-zero-gravity-recliner?varian...I came across it when going though the search of old threads on this site thoughtfully provided by Steakster. It looks pretty appealing.

Almost forgot, if price is not a major factor, also look into Gamut Audio's Lobster Chair http://www.gamutaudio.com/the-gamut-hi-fi-lobster-chair/  Believe it's been reviewed in Positive Feedback and Part-Time Audiophile.
