A few years ago, a friend who had recently had back surgery raved about her “Perfect Chair” – yes, that’s the brand name. As any back-pain sufferer will attest, we are notorious for scouring the ends of the earth seeking relief – chronic back-pain being right up there with tooth-ache as a potential motivator to suicide! I immediately headed off to The Back Store – a whole retail establishment dedicated to relieving that pain – and bought one. I’ve had the Perfect Chair for about seven years and it has made a huge difference; allowing me to relax comfortably without assuming the various killer positions on the sofa that would leave me in agony after a couple of hours watching TV. The chair also has a few accessories available – a small attachable side-table for example – that are very handy. With very high craftsmanship and solidly built, the Perfect Chair isn’t cheap at around $2K for the basic PC6 manual model, but it really delivers and is worth every penny. It comes in a large variety of colors for both the base and the leather, which you can mix and match to fit your room design.

NOTE: This isn’t a therpaeutic chair intended for those with back pain only, but a great regular recliner, ergonomically designed, that is incredibly comfortable and will prevent back problems in the future.
