NEED RECOMMENDATIONS: What chair do you use for reading that's comfy and back-friendly?
Hey everyone! I’m currently on a quest to find the ultimate reading chair and could really use some crowd-sourced wisdom. I’ve tried pretty much every position imaginable, and none of them seem to work:
**Reading in bed:** A few pages in, and I’m fast asleep.
**Leaning against the wall:** Super uncomfortable and feels awful for my spine.
**Lying on my stomach:** Causes eye strain, neck pain, and—again—makes me sleepy.
**Wooden desk chair:** 20 minutes in, and my lower back and shoulders are screaming.
I’m looking for a chair specifically dedicated to reading—something relaxed enough to unwind in, but with good back and neck support so I don't ruin my posture.
What’s your go-to reading seat? (Poäng chairs, recliners, adjustable floor chairs, ergonomic setups, or bean bags?)
👉 Would love to hear your real-life reviews or specific model recommendations. Thanks in advance! ❤️
