    I've read that you shouldn't use a computer chair you should have a sewing chair. I'm interested in hearing the answer to this too.

    I use an office chair. Very comfortable and easy to maneuver.

    I have used my mom's old Singer bench, but I got rid of it - could barely straighten up if I sewed for more 30 minutes.
    I found that an office chair with arm rests are the best for the computer but not for the sewing machine. Most that I have seen also have the arm rests as part of the package. Sit in the chair and see how it feels BEFORE you but it.

I now have new, lower bench and still use it. The seat keeps your legs apart, which makes you sit up straighter = less back and shoulder aches.
    This is called a saddle chair and I think you can get them at staples. I have been considering one.

    I`ve bought my chair at http://www.officechair24.co.uk/
    They are really comfortable, Office Chair 24 also have many models of wellness swivel chairs, your spine will appreciate it very much!
    The products are very easy to order and to install.
