r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: Looking for chair advise (most importantly for TV)
December 20, 2020 -

Hi all. We are moving next week to a new home and getting mostly new furniture since most of what we had was old, cheap, broken, etc. For our living room I have already ordered a Stressless Mayfair Recliner which I'm very much looking forward to. This will be the main family TV room, but I'm also going to use an extra bedroom upstairs as my home office/personal TV room). I'll have a small desk in there to use my laptop but really looking forward to have a private space to watch sports or other shows that my wife and son aren't interested in.

In a perfect world there'd be some kind of single chair that can double as a comfortable computer chair and TV chair/recliner but more than likely I'll end up with both. Any recommendations? I'm looking to spend much less than I spent on the Stressless since that was already a big splurge.

r/Ergonomics on Reddit: Best (lounge) chair to sit comfortably to read a book or watch TV?
September 6, 2024 -

I have a lot of constant neck pain from weight lifting and working long hours.
It's being worked on with the fysio. However, what are some good lounge chairs that sit amazing?

So you can really relax at night, while it's not bed time yet. Just to watch TV or read a book.
Especially support on the neck would be amazing

I know the feeling. Office chairs can be comfortable but it's not the same as lounging on a sofa or recliner. I'm not endorsing them and I think they have some design issues to work out and are very expensive, but I think you should look at eKornes Stressless products to get an idea of what is out there and what you want. https://www.stressless.com/en/products/recliners They use very high density foam and do make an effort to engineer their products to be ergonomic and adjustable. Their headrest feature where it angles both upwards if you want to have your head up when reclining versus lying back is a nice idea. What has kept me from going for one is the arms are loop arms, so it doesn't look like a chair that would be good to sit cross legged on or with one leg tucked underneath you. They also make sofas but they are very expensive. The other thing is it's a Norwegian company, so if you have issues with parts or need support, even if you have a helpful dealer, things will take time. They are improving their distribution capabilities in North America slowly. Another option is Fjords. They make similar-style products, but at a slightly lower price point. I don't know how much you're looking to spend or how much space you have but a cheap option might be a low-back style reception seat that will let you put some kind of neck cushion on top but also let you stretch your shoulder blades. Recliners with backs that are too high can make you feel boxed in, so I think they can counterintuitively make things worse in the long run. Anyway, I hope you find something good.

r/OfficeChairs on Reddit: Do you guys ever put your legs on the table? Or: Is there an Office Chair for both working and watching movies?!
December 20, 2023 -

I (180cm, 60kg) use my PC both for work and leisure. I don't own a TV so I also watch Movies on it, which is why I got into the habit of putting my legs/feet on the table to relax. That means I move my ass forward to sit on the front of the seat and use the backrest as a headrest. It's really comfortable I swear!

So far I've used a 2015 DXRacer, and it was pretty good at that tbh. But of course it was pretty bad for tasking because the back got almost 0 support. Now it's gotten really worn down over the course of 8 years and I decided that it's time for a new chair.

First I tried out the Logitech Embody but sadly had to send it back. The Lumbar Bulge was too deep and not adjustable. It just dug into my back too much. Also the (very comfy) seat was quite "slippery", because any time I started relaxing I slided down a few centimeters. So it wasn't good for sitting properly or relaxing imo.

I then tried the Secretlab Titan, but that thing is hard as a rock. The "Racing Shape" is also worse than my old DXRacer, restricting movement a lot more. I'm still within the trial period and plan to return it.

Now I'm not even sure anymore if there's a chair that's both good for ergonomic working AND "legs on the table movie watching". Maybe the Haworth Fern without the Lumbar support could work? Do you guys have an idea or should I give up and focus on 1 aspect?

First of all, before you seek furniture that enables and encourages pure barbarism, you should buy an ottoman. You can put it under your desk and it will be far more comfortable. Likewise, since furniture designers do not create furniture for barbarians, you won’t find a chair designed to actually enable you to raise your feet to desk height. Even a Lay-z-boy won’t do that. Sitting in a task chair and putting your legs on the desk is akin to stabbing a dagger into a dining table at a wedding reception. There are office chairs that have a deep comfortable recline that is compatible with watching media. The humanscale freedom chair is one such chair. It has a dynamic headrest that moves forward so that you don’t have to hold up your head as you lie back. Still the best headrest in the industry. The chair is excellent but not perfect. Another excellent chair, if you don’t give a fuck about money, is the Leap Worklounge. It has all the advantages of the leap chair, but also a deeper recline and more comfortable armrests that resemble a lounge chair more. You can buy two freedom chairs for one worklounge, which can run 2500 USD new. Having been stuck on your situation before, however, I have come to realize that just having two separate chairs is more luxurious that trying to have a single chair that does it all. Likewise, a second screen focused on media consumption, like a tv, isn’t much more expensive and these days it’s easy to connect to your computer. Bottom line if you’re at the point where you know you want a chair to do these two things, the money is better spent on two separate chairs and two separate screens: you get two specialists that do their jobs better, and they cost less than a single jack of all trades that will have compromises. The Jack of all trades exists, but it won’t be as good and it will cost more.

No ergonomic office chair is going to work with your habits. Task chairs are not recliners for lounging.

r/OfficeChairs on Reddit: Chair for both office and relaxing, watching movies, and gaming?
November 24, 2020 -

I'm 5"7', 145 - 155 pounds. I don't sit "correctly" most of the time, tending to sit cross-legged in my chair a lot, reclining, folding one foot under my butt, etc. So things like adjustable arm rests, a wide enough seat, and recline lock are important to me.

I need something that will be comfortable for hours of writing and teaching online at my desk, but *also* something I can recline in to watch a movie and relax. Something that doesn't force me to "sit correctly" all the time, because in the long run I believe that will be more uncomfortable for me.

Unfortunately, money *is* an issue (if you saw my other post), but just drop whatever recommendations you have and I'll figure out the rest as best as I can.

I will ask (in conjunction with your recs) if the Alera Elusion Series Mesh High-Back Multifunction Chair would suit my needs? I've read mixed reviews. I know it's a "cheaper" chair, but figured it doesn't hurt to ask. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049UCECE/

I appreciate your help, thank you.

I just moved into a room and I would like to have a chair or something to sit in so I can watch tv without having to be in my bed all the time.

I’m 270lbs and 6’

It doesn’t have to rock or do anything fancy. Just be comfortable to sit in all day.

My budget isn’t that big or else I’d have just gotten a lazy boy.

Any help would be great.

Living alone comrades, I am here to seek important advice!

I want comfort, extreme comfort where I can be for hours and even be able to fall asleep.

We all need to have proper rest and lazy days from time to time, what you using? Living alone gives us freedom to do and choose whatever we want without being judged and I am ready to take advantage of this! 😌

Sofa? Lounge chair with a footstool? Hammock? Egg chair? Beanbag? Whatever else?

November 17, 2021 - After a lot of looking and sitting, I found Ekornes chair called the Stressless. Fabulous leathers, and brilliant sitting position for watching TV and listening, then a quick yank forward on the headrest area, and it releases the back support and the headrest area tips back for a nap.

It’s not cheap but it’s comfort is worth it. ... this is going to sound crazy but we made a daybed out of a high end queen size beautyrest black mattress and box spring. we put a nice cover in it and threw about a dozen large toss pillows on it. SUPER COMFY to kick back and watch a movie with our feet up! ... My bedroom doesn't have room for any chairs, so I sit or lay on my bed.

r/malelivingspace on Reddit: Ergonomic TV Chair
October 14, 2023 -

I suffer from sciatica, but have noticed that whenever I use an ergonomic chair at work, there is significant relief. So, I am seeking a comfortable, but overstuffed, living room chair to use while watching TV or reading. I am having the devil of a time trying to find a suitable one. Either there are roll around desk office chairs with great adjustments available or a plush, luxurious recliner that would swallow me and does not offer all the body controls I am seeking. Thoughts?
