I have seen very nice listening chairs in other threads, but no thread specifically dedicated to members sharing listening chairs, couches, sofas, loungers, or whatever you may enjoy while you listen. I am curious what all members have out there.

I’ve been gradually setting up my listening room over the last year or so. I’ve been so focused on the equipment, that my back side got short shrift. I was sitting on an uncomfortable chaise lounge by Basset, found on clearance. My wife thought it was lovely. It looked ok, but it was never comfortable. Well, either I was too upright with no upper back support, or laying back, with arched back, feeling the frame of the lounge under the cushions. Ergonomics were all wrong for listening. It was passable for a time, because the music has been all good. My wife picked it for the room, because it was her idea of what would look good. Fortunately, beyond being uncomfortable, it just has not held up well.

I had hinted to the wife over and over again that I was going to need something new. She was hesitant, because everything that passed my sit test did not pass her style test. Well, we were out the other day, and she said “what about this for you to listen to music?” Looked good. I sat, and it felt good. Now I have a new Lane Skylar brown leather electric recliner, and am very happy. Dicscomfort in other parts of my body are no longer distracting me from the music.



Show us your listening chair!... or chairs!

Best,
Shrinky
