Best Sewing Chairs – Sewing in Comfort

If you do serious sewing it’s important that you have a comfortable chair. For hand-sewing this might be a corner of the couch or a rocking chair; but if you use a sewing machine or spend long hours drawing patterns, cutting, and basting on your craft table you owe yourself a comfortable, ergonomic desk chair.

What is the best sewing chair for those times? If you look in a furniture store or on Amazon you’ll find a wide variety of office-style chairs at a wide variety of prices. Expect to pay from sixty to eight hundred dollars, depending on whether you are willing to live with basic comfort or whether you want something especially ergonomic that will pamper your back even as you work.

A Favorite All-Round Sewing Chair: Comfy, Ergonomic, and Customizable

Most of us don’t have all that much spare cash lying around, but we do want to be comfortable while sewing. What if you could get a four hundred dollar chair for a little over a hundred dollars? The Flash Furniture High Back Leather Chair offers you that opportunity.

Okay, maybe there’s a reason they decided to make such an enormous discount, but the fact remains that this is the highest quality, most ergonomic chair you could get for the price. The soft leather makes for a comfy seat, and the arms are comfortable, padded nylon.

Assembly of this seat is fairly easy; you should be able to manage it in about fifteen minutes. As it stands there before you, it is just a regular office chair; built to fit anyone, and therefore, not built to fit the individual you. This chair’s strength, though, is that you can make it exactly what you want it to be; you can change it to fit your height, leg length, and back; to custom-fit your form for ideal comfort.

You can raise the seat to the height that’s most comfortable for you, and adjust the armrests to your preferred level. You can choose your preferred back tilt– straight up or reclined? –and also tilt the seat at whatever angle you desire. The ‘tilt tension’ of the seat can be adjusted, and there is additional lumbar support that can be puffed up or minimized depending on how much padding you prefer on the lumber region of your back.

All in all, this is a nice, ergonomic, customizable chair that may make the hours you spend sewing pretty much as comfortable as they can get. I like the dual caster rollers and smooth swivel function, as well: it makes it easy to move from cutting and basting in one area at my work space to machine sewing at the other.

 

A Lighter Sewing Chair for Hot Climates

What if you don’t care for leather or fancy customizable options, and would rather a seat with a more breathable back? Flash Furniture’s Mid-Back Mesh Chair with a Nylon Base may be a good choice for a light summer crafting chair, and it comes with a slightly cheaper price tag. This chair is also easy to assemble, sturdy, and comfortable. The height can be adjusted, and the armrests can be pushed out if you don’t want them right there bothering you.
