The Poäng chair and ottoman are good, but they don’t suit everyone. I need to place an additional cushion behind my back; otherwise, I feel the need to hunch and tilt my neck and head slightly forward. With the extra cushion, my posture is corrected to a more upright sitting position, which feels much more comfortable. I suppose the ergonomics of the Poäng chair could be improved, but it may still suit some people on a case-by-case basis. Go try it yourself and see if it works for you. I’ve fallen asleep on it many times with the music playing.
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?

I've got a Pair of Chairs with matching Leg Support Stools in the listening room that are quite similar in the design to the Stressless Design. These were a £1000 (receipt supplied) as a new purchase which I bought used and with a Leather Upholstery in immaculate condition for £100. Leather is fine as I don't listen in overwhelming heat, also I'm more of a autumn / winter listener for long periods in front of Speakers. Fabric would be suitable if extreme heat is present when listening is occurring. Cushions don't really remain put on leather, so an anti slip aid will help or go for a Fabric Upholstery. I've always wanted a Massage Chair seen in Shopping Malls, but it is an absolute luxury and will most likely produce a noise during listening that is a detraction. The Link shows the idea for a chair, but I would probably pay more to get one to fir my frame size. https://uk.royaldeals.co.uk/product/massage-chair-full-body-neck-shoulder/B0DGQDQ3JX/

If it fits your body, and doesn't give you pain, if you know it is good quality and gives you comfort, think of it as well worth the price, the most important piece of gear you own! Keep cost low: Bed Bath and Beyond is now online only via Overstock, low price, many color options. seems the footrest is independent so you can stay upright with legs supported, some, the foot only come’s up as the back lowers, not good for listening to music. the open base is far less heavy looking than most recliners, other models
at this low price, if it doesn’t work out, it may cost you too much to return it, plan on alternate use, yard sale, give to someone. |
