Reply To: Time for a new hobby chair, what do you use?

I’ve got an office chair similar to @torros, but mine has arms. I find this useful when doing some ‘fiddly’ painting as I can rest my elbows on the chair arms and lean back into the chair so I’m not hunched up over the desk and end up with back/neck ache.

If there’s an office furniture supply place like ‘Staples’ or ‘Office World’ that have a selection of chairs in the shop, go and have a ‘sit down test’ with a few different chairs to see if one takes your fancy.  Finding one with adjustable settings means you can get it ‘just right’ for comfort and cut out some of the aches and pains from sitting still for too long with a bad posture. As a place you will spend a lot of time, it’s worth a few extra quid to maximise comfort.
