New chair


Beautiful wife persuaded me that it was time to get a new chair. Through careful viewing of photographic comparison above, an alert reader may notice some slight differences between the two chairs, namely that one is a tiny bent hollow with a back that doesn’t go up any more, whereas the other is a majestic throne with a high, curving back.
Should have done this years ago. If this improves my comfort levels a tenth as much as the ergo keyboard has, it will be money very well spent.
Note, also, that the chair’s back curves away from the lower back, rather than in toward the neck. I only mention this because every time I get on a plane it’s bloody torture on account of some genius who thinks chairs should have convex backs, particularly if you have to sit in them for twenty-two hours. Arg.
Ahhh. The comfy chair.

  1. I spend 8 hours a day in a chair. I spend 8 hours a day in a bed. It makes bloody good sense to spend the money to make sure that time is comfortable and isn’t mangling your back. Word up.

  2. Dan – get! So worthwhile!
    Jack – so true. Feel stoopid for not having done this before.
    Nancy – argh car headpieces! Things “molded to fit the average person” are always so terribly uncomfortable for taller, shorter, and wider people! And I suspect they’re not so hot for the average person either.

  3. I didn’t expect the comfy chair!
    The potential ergonomics on the right make my back and neck cry, and lest it need saying (anmd it probably doesn’t), there ain’t much to be happy about concave plane seat back either. I could never get those stupid headrests to sit right.
