Cant see a car seat lending intself to be a comfy desk chair.

That's why I asked the question. I know Corba seats make the dugout seats for football stadiums, and I've got a feeling that they make office chairs too, but they'd cost a fortune.

I can't see that a car seat would be too much different to my current chair it terms of comfort/support. All of it's adjustment is in the base, which will be re-used, and the car seat will have the benefit of an adjustable backrest angle too.

you want to know what a car seat is going to be like to sit in for hours.

why dont you drive to ikea, by the time you get there youll proberbly realise that they arent neerly as comfy as office chairs, and they dont really have to correct seating position, buy a chair. then drive back.


or go buy a new album, sit in your car for a hour and listne to it, then order a chair off the internet

Herman Miller chairs are amazing.  Used to have one at a previous job.

Home office currently has their budget chair which is also great.  £300 though.  Worth it if you're a home worker.

Well I've just bought a pair of Sierra Cosworth Recaros, so I'm going to have a go at making my own to see how it goes.

If it's no good, I dare say I'll be able to find another use for it or even sell it on. Whatever, it won't have cost me too much to give it a go.
