I bought the colorful one on HSN. It was well worth the price.

I use an adjustable computer chair but I also use a gyspy sit upon in the seat and have found it helps with my back.

What does a saddle chair look like? Thanks.

I just bought an office chair from staples. It's pretty comfy BUT it was too short, even on the highest setting. They're all about the same height, I guess. I tried using a thick pad on top and it didn't feel very stable or comfortable. So I bought bigger wheels for it. It made it a couple of inches taller but I could use another inch or so, so I think a thinner cushion might be the thing. The wheels on my sewing cabinet are already pretty small so I don't think I can lower it any.

I use an adjustable height office chair with no arms. I think the main thing is to find a chair that you can adjust high enough so your arms are bent at a 90 degree angle at the elbows, so you don't tire your shoulders from long hours at the machine. If being too high for your feet to touch the floor (if you are short for example), you can always add a box or lift of some sort under your foot pedal. I am tall, so don't have this problem. Measure how high you need to be when sitting at your sewing machine before you go to the store and take a tape measure with you, so you can see if the chair goes high enough, before you buy it.

this thread made me laugh! Years ago, I was using an old old office chair that my now ex BIL found on his garbage truck route. worked prettygood, looked horrible and had metal wheels. So i went to an office supply store and tried out several and got one with adjustable height no arms. Worked great for a long time but now it doesn't stay locked in to the height I set it at. I start out 'above' the machine and end up looking up at the machine. I rolled over the computer chair and love it, but it has arms that love to hold on to quilts!

I agree with quiltstringz -- the Bungee chair is incredible -- could sit in it all day. The arms don't interfere with my sewing table -- and it comes in lots of neat colors. You can get it at amazon.com.

I would be very interested to know where you made your purchase. I have not been successful in finding a chair that measures comfortably to my dining room (aka sewing) table

My DH got me the perfect chair for my birthday last year at Office Max. It is a fully adjustable manager's chair that has a memory foam lumbar support. You can put the arms on or leave them off. Up, down, tilt, recline, roll about .... ahhhh. My poor aching back loves this chair. :-) I didn't have a chair mat, so I put a half sheet of left over pegboard on the carpet (white side up so I can see what I drop) ... works like a charm!
