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?

@audphile1  Assuming it is not a structural issue with your back, I've had intermittent low back pain over the years,  Hard to even walk at times.  Total relief came with 4 trips to a good chiropractor.  He  also gave me two simple stretching exercises that when done daily for 5 minutes, keep me completely pain free and  flexible.  If you're interested I could try to find some pictures of them.  Cheers

@bigtwin yep I got the chiropractor part covered. 
I wouldn’t mind you sharing exercises if you can find them. 
I feel like this is turning into some geriatric convention instead of an audio forum discussion LOL. And I’m not even that old :)

@audphile1  I sent you a PM.  Naturally the link got deleted.  I'll try here.  I made a reference to Start with #3 and finish with # 6.  They are on this site.

I explained the second stretch, and now I'm going to put myself out there.  The things we do for fellow Agoners. 🤣

Position 1

Position 2

 

What the heck, here's the last stretch

 

Hope this helps.  I know for a fact they don't help if you don't do them every day.  Cheers, 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks @bigtwin !!! You’re slim and flexible. I’m neither. Lol

I will do my best. If you don’t see me posting for a few days that means i’m stuck in position #3…aka last stretch…for me it will be a final one…

Just found this thread and found it quite interesting. I made the mistake of killing some time with my wife at a local furniture store over the holidays. We tried the Stressless Paul recliner and were immediately sold on its comfort. Made an impulse purchase and it is currently on order for use as my new listening chair. 

I never even considered the height of the headrest as affecting sound quality. Now I am wondering if this will be a problem. Looking at the Eames, Ekornes and some others mentioned here, they seem to have an ear level headrest. Looks like my current chair's headrest is also ear level so I may not eve notice a change.

Would putting some fabric/felt on the headrest help? Is the main problem the reflection from the leather or blocking of sound coming from behind the chair?
