    I love my Arrow sewing chair, the non adjustable one. It has saved my back. There is an adjustable one too but the regular chair is more of a sewing chair to me. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if I needed it. Great machine height, great chair and great lighting are my priorities. These three things are where I will never make do in my sewing room.

    I have 2 office chairs. 1 has 1/2 length arms so no problem sitting close to the machine. The 2nd has arms that flip up out of the way & down if needed. I like both of them & am not sure if I would want 1 w/o arms. Sometimes they really are useful.

    I have a saddle chair that I got from Amazon and a drummer’s stool that I got out of the trash pile in one of my neighborhood alleyways. Saddle chair is great for sitting at long stretches while quilting at my Sweet16, or while using the decorative stitches on my PC420. The drummer’s stool is perfect for piecing at my PQ1500s since I chain piece, but get up frequently to go back and forth to the design wall. I’m short and find that most chairs with arms and backs are too big for me, the stools enable me to sit with better posture than any of the chairs I’ve tried over the years.

    I remember reading that thread and then getting the "bungee" chair from the container store - I'm not a tall person (5' more or less) and it fits perfectly and gives me great support. It is adjustable in height.

    I have an exercise ball chair and I love it. Makes sitting so much easier on my neck, shoulders, and back.

    I too use a Staples armless office chair w/adjustable height. But I also bought a wedge back from Joann's for the bk of the chair and the 3 lb posture sandbag from Nancy's Notion which really does help me not to slouch.

    I use a swivel office chair that has no arm rest at my sewing machine. It is height adjustable. I have read threads on here about standing up to sew, and recently bought bed risers for my table. I have quilted 3 quilts already by standing when I sew. The office chair, in it's highest setting still works at my taller table too. So I have the option to stand or sit to sew.

    I asked for a new chair for Christmas and got a super cute official sewing chair! Firm bottom no arms. The cutest fabric ever!
    have not had much opportunity to sit at it since Christmas but will let you know how it is..
