What ergonomic lounge chair should I buy?

June 18, 2016 7:10 PM

I am interested in buying an ergonomic lounge chair for my living room, and I am wondering what kind I should get. I am tempted by Ekornes Stressless recliners, but I am wondering if there are better, perhaps more affordable, options. What do you recommend? Any tips would be most appreciated.

Several years ago, while pregnant, I asked this grumpy question. In the end, I ended up getting this cheap knock-off of an Ekornes Stressless. It's held up very well through three years and one move and is the comfiest chair in my house. I suspect that in a different setting, it would scream "bachelor furniture!" but I have a sheepskin thrown over it which gives it a slightly more ikea-ish look and my mid-mo loving friends have often complimented it and assumed it's real vintage. There are actually a lot of rip-offs of Ekornes. Looking through the suggestions on amazon should find you some.

Also, similar aesthetic; amazon has two knock-off Eames on sale today for under $500 in honor of Charles Eames' birthday.

Have a look at the IKEA Poang chair and ottoman. Cheap but very comfortable.
