I have 2 smallish swivel/rocker easy chairs from back when Skeeter
was new here. They are worn out and I always disliked that the back is a
little too low to lean my head back. Looking for replacements has not
been successful. Swivel/rocker easy chairs are not easy to find with
higher backs in black. The recliner chair I bought didn't work because I
sit on the chair to eat dinner while watching TV and the recliner tilts
too far forward and I slide out.
So I got the
idea that what I needed was a soft computer chair without the wheels
installed. I sat in a bunch and decided on one I liked. The assembly was difficult. The holes for the bolts that held the back and arms and seat didn't match up perfectly, but with some force applied with bar clamps, I got everything together. I moved it into place in front of the TV. And hated it!
It wasn't as soft as I thought. You SINK into an easy chair, but you SIT in a computer chair. Not the same thing... Yeah, that's by design, but in the store, it seemed the computer chair was soft enough.
Naturally, I had waited too long to return it. So I put the old chair back in place. I suppose I could build a light wooden frame to screw into the back and velcro a pillow on it to raise the back 6" so I could rest my head back. I might see if there is a way I can stop the recliner from tilting too far forward (without stopping the reclining movement) because it really IS comfortable otherwise.
But I think I'll keep looking for a better one...

Why does it have to be so hard? You would think that your preferences aren't all that different from other people's, surely? Good luck. Keep looking.
