I've been using an Embody chair by Herman Miller for about a year. Very comfortable for both reading and as a desk chair.

It's alive!


Sorry, folks—I couldn't help but resurrect this old thread when I found my ultimate dream chair. I'm not sure what that funnel-looking thing is on the top, but if it leads to a feeding tube, I'm in!

There's *two* funnels, which is what you need; one for mountain dew and one for munchies.
See, that's not a reading chair; it's a video gaming chair. Very popular in South Korea.

Only if there is another funnel-looking thing below the chair.

Nah.
It's for gamers so the other accessory is optional and most do without.
Gamers have big bladders and sweat a lot.

That thing looks like a torture chair to me.... I still prefer my hammock chair.

I read on my bed. I can't remember the last time I read in a chair at home.

I upgraded my porch chair to a zero gravity model like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Caravan-Canopy...dp/B0032UY0BU/

I also recently replaced my desk chair with a "massage recliner" where I'll read occasionally with or without the motors going. For longish reading sessions it's usually either the z-grav on the porch or my captain's chair and ottoman in the living room (orange guys below).

I also have a Poang, I used to have it combined with a Fatboy Point footstool but I had to throw that out because of smoke damage (I just got a new cushion for the Poang). Next time I'm at Ikea I'll buy the Poang footstool.

I'm very flexible where I read. Usually on the couch and in bed, but also sitting as and Indian on a large pillow on the floor (in front of the gas heater in winter). One of the furniture stores nearby sells the ideal reading chair, which is extra wide. I haven't even checked the price because it will be expensive and I don't know how to get it in my room.

For those who want a thicker pillow for the Poang Ikea also sells the Hästö.

Another vote for the Poang. Very comfy, and amazing value.

The Poang footstool is also just right for me.

This reminds me of a dentist's chair with monitors. As such, something like this would never enter my house!

A dental chair! Now that's the ticket. I could modify the drill arm to hold my Paperwhite.

Thanks, jersysman!

Actually, I'm saving my money from not smoking to buy two items. The first is going to be either an iPad 5 or the next generation Surface (I've already saved more than enough money for either since giving up my beloved American Spirit cigarettes) and the second is going to be something I and others have mentioned before in this thread: a zero gravity chair. Maybe not the exact model below (click the pic to visit the site), but one very similar:
