Best chair for music production?

QuestionAsker · 03-26-2023, 06:00 PM

Is there a specific chair that's most loved by music producers?

Or one you use and would recommend?

My current chair is literally almost a 90 degree "L" shaped hard chair with almost no padding and needless to say, it's very uncomfortable. Looking to up my chair and desk game.

I know Herman Miller chairs are amazing, although way out of my budget. I'd buy one used, but I'm currently living in Mexico, I've seen some of them on Facebook Marketplace, but they're still around $1000 USD.

Mate, just get a chair you find comfortable. Not to be rude but its not that complicated. An office chair or gaming chair.

For music production, having a comfortable chair is crucial, especially if you spend long hours sitting and working. While Herman Miller chairs are indeed highly regarded, there are more budget-friendly options available that still offer good comfort and support.

One chair that's often recommended for its comfort, adjustability, and affordability is the IKEA Markus. It's not as expensive as Herman Miller chairs but still provides good support for long hours of sitting. Another option is the IKEA JÄRVFJÄLLET, which is also well-regarded for its comfort and design.

If you're looking for something more ergonomic and supportive, you might consider the AmazonBasics High-Back Executive Chair. It offers good lumbar support and is designed for long periods of sitting.

In terms of desks, consider looking for one that's adjustable in height so you can switch between sitting and standing while working. IKEA has some affordable options for height-adjustable desks, such as the SKARSTA or the BEKANT series.

Ultimately, the best chair and desk for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. It's a good idea to try out different chairs if possible to see which one feels most comfortable for you.

The chair depends on the number of instruments you will use and the studio space. So chose some custom chair and make sure to be with a solid base.

Look into the Secretlab TITAN Evo or ErgoChair Pro by Autonomous, both offer great comfort and support at a lower price than Herman Miller.
