The Chair, or what do you sit on?

[labman]

Have used the Carl Tatz PhantomFocus eChair the past 2 years. Can work endless hours as it adapts to you. Changed my life. Literally. And yes, we had LOTS of the other expensive ones before that. No contest.

My Herman Miller chair, while very expensive, was one of the best investments I've done. My back is really happy about it.

A correct sitting-height is so important! We spend so many hours sitting down doing repetitive moves...

My fav chair costs $119. They last about 4-5 years hauling my 200+ pound butt but (but butt? lol) they literally feel like I’m sitting in a giant cupped hand. In 12 years or so I’m on my 3rd one. What wears out is the fabric. It’s still waaaaay less then a Herman Miller chair. I can get those at cost since a friend is a dealer but (butt?) I like this one better. Go figure.

I have two wonderfully comfortable chairs that I bought at an independent Scandinavian multi-generation family-run furniture store in Berkeley called The Viking Trader, that has real bargains if you shop during mark-downs of "last years fashions".

My main one is a thin-seater, and hard, which I prefer (more comfortable for me). The thick softer-seater is for my desk, which has been too cluttered to be usable for years now, but the chair gets used when a client or a friend or contributor is listening side-by-side with me.

Both chairs support 8-12 hours or more of continuous work, in complete comfort, with no sweating. The thin one is cherry and the thick one is oak; the thin one has nice fabric that is starting to wear, on a cheery slab seat with mild contour, and the oak one has a thin plywood seat (I guess; it isn't visible), covered in thick shag-carpet-like fabric.

If it was daylight and I wasn't tired, I'd turn them upside down and try to read the labels for the woodmakers, in case they're available elsewhere. Most comfortable chairs I've ever owned.
