Definitely off topic but an honest question. I’m needing a new practice chair. Right now it is a hard old desk chair with limited padding. Been practicing 2-3 hours a night...new band and I get off that old chair hurting. There was a post about a gig chair but I stand when I play but when studying new music at the computer i’m Sitting. Any good “work” chair ideas. Price always an issue. I guess I’d drop $100. Thanks. I don’t get out much.
This's what I use. I do have a cushion I'll add if I'm planning on sitting for more than 30 minutes. KULLABERG Stool - pine, black - IKEA
I had a similar problem, I don’t think it’s good for you to use the same chair for both work and music, unless you can at least move the arm rests out of the way. I was starting to get knee and back pain so I tried a few options and I ended up buying a really comfortable padded stool, not a musician’s stool, just a normal piece of furniture which allowed me to sit with the right posture while playing. I’m short so that’s what works for me, but it’s different for everyone, I’d just take a few basic measurements, lower leg etc, and find a comfortable padded stool that suits your height and build, you don’t need anything too fancy or clever.
I use a wooden stool with a seat cushion... because it's at the table where I practice. I own a full height Roc-n-Soc throne with backrest that's comfy as a cloud...but I keep it in a different room.
I tried this at Ikea, it felt good, haven't bought it but thinking about it. TROLLBERGET Active sit/stand support - Glose black - IKEA
I use an inflatable exercise ball. It gives 360 degree obstruction free access, keeps your back straight, and very comfortable.
I use a wooden barstool with a home made pad ($20 at Target). I don't sit when I play a lot, but when I do, I need my legs somewhat extended (bass doesn't fit on lap very well).
I use a chair without arms and a pillow. I also use a foot stool for my left foot. It keeps the bass in the same position for when I stand.
I bought one of these a couple years ago. Love it to death. https://www.amazon.com/ROC-N-SOC-NR...d=1561773418&s=gateway&sprefix=rocknso&sr=8-1
