I have back problems and thus need a new sewing chair. Do any of you have one of these chairs http://www.heavenlyseating.com/sewing-chairs.html and if so, do you recommend them? They are quite pricey, but they promise to cure all that ails you seating-wise. I am intrigued by the fact that they make 3 models according to your height because I am tall and have long legs. I also like the fact that they have 150 upholstery fabrics to choose from. Please let me know if you like yours or not, and if so, why. Thanks, Conniemarie

How much are they? I hate when they don't put prices on the website. 99.9% of the time I will not take the extra time and effort to ask for a price. I get that dealers set their own prices but they should have a retail at least.

eta: seriously, you have to call or email to find a dealer? These must be the holy grail of chairs to warrant this level of mystery.

​I bought a good office chair from Staples when they had clearance. It works well for me and is adjustable. The bonus was I could try all the chairs to see how I liked them before purchasing. I don't know how they compare on price I think mine was $75.

I have an office chair too... same reason... I could try it out before I brought it home.

looks like an ordinary office chair. I lean forward when I sew, so the back doesn't matter a whole lot to me. It probably would at a desk.

When I called to inquire about the chairs last year I was told that they run in the $550-$650 range depending on what options you choose (eg.-arms, upholstery, etc.) Yeah, pretty pricy, but I've been watching them on the website for over three years, so somebody must be buying them. They claim one has never been sent back, and most customers wind up buying a second chair. So with my back problems that's why I'm checking them out. I was told that the closest dealer to me was 75 miles away at a custom sewing cabinet shop. That's all I know.

For that price, I would definitely want to go try one out and even sit in it for a little while. Sewing is a different position than anything else, it seems. I'm sorry you have trouble with your back-that's never fun.

I have 2 office chairs; one at the computer and one at the sewing room. Both are mesh which is cooler than fabric. Both were under $150. They both have height adjustments and angle seat, back adjustments and height back adjustments. Look for one that will hold your weight. While working full time, there were over 100 chairs in the office and the first thing to go, after upholstery was hydrolics for seat height.

I also bought one at staples...love it. I have a bad back and no issues using it and I sew for long periods of time.
