What chair do you use at your sewing machine?

I have an office chair with lumbar support, however since one does not lean back while sewing I'm not sure how important the lumbar support is in this instance.
Although, I probably unconsciencely lean back and it helps.

Oh, and are you sitting up high enough on the chair to best see your work? If not, try that. It raising your chair makes your feet dangle, then put an appropriate sized box under your feet. Our bodies need to be at 90° angles at our arms, hips and knees. What's your angle? LOL
Hope this helps, :D

I have a very nice Horn sewing chair. Pricey but worth it. I have 2 machines/cabinets and I am very tempted to get another chair for the other cabinet so I don't have to keep rolling it from one side of the room to the other. I love it!

I have a good office chair on wheels that has height/seat tilt/seat back adjustments as well as arms that can be removed or adjusted for height.
At first, I took the arms off but later learned from my physical therapist the importance of having support for my forearms. This gives a lot of support for my hands and takes the stress off my elbows, shoulders, back and neck and has really made a huge difference in my pain level and how long I can sew comfortably.
