Reading Positions and Seating

[Donnie]

What position do you sit in that you can be in for hours? Any chairs or bean bags that you recommend that are affordable?

I’ve been reading more lately and prefer to be sitting but my neck and posture are definitely paying the price. I’m going to order some of those glasses that have the mirrors on them so you can sit up and look straight forward and have the book resting in your lap. The mirrors reflect the book up to your eyes so you don’t have to look down and mess up your neck. Can also use them while lying down looking up at the ceiling. They look silly, but I’m going to give it a try.

I like to be horizontal and switch from side to side. I couldn’t even estimate how many pairs of eyeglasses I’ve ruined over the years because the stems can’t withstand the weight of my head.

I lay back stretched on the sofa but if I’m reading in bed, I do the same, change from one side to the next. ☺️

POÄNG armchair from Ikea. Not cheap, but it's followed me through several relocations, and I can angle my legs any weird way on it without my reading or my spine suffering.
