I use a folding stool, similar to the one Jerry had a WalMart link to, however I bought it at Target. For performances I mostly stand.
Most times i lie on the sofa when i play, ... even if i play a big guitar
That certainly would not work for me. If I lie down anywhere I go to sleep, sitting up sometimes too.
Ahhh, the Golden Years . . . ld:
I have a Quik Lok DX749 Deluxe Seat (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FJXGU4 ) for any extended playing.
I've set up the Quik Lok so it supports well and encourages sitting straight. In my other music room I mostly play standing up.
I can get away with the sofa or sitting on the bed or whatever for a while with a ukulele, but large & heavier instruments (guitar & bass) hurt pretty quickly if I'm not careful about posture.
At longer workshops I'll switch between sitting and standing rather than trying to sit in a poor chair for hours on end.
I have this exact stool at church. When I joined the band, they had a few wooden stools, but they were a little too tall for me. I have bad knees, and having my feet flat on the floor when sitting is important. I sit on it during our rehearsal before church service, and in between songs during the service. When we play, I'm standing. I'm not sure how I'd like it for long term seating during a uke jam or performance. Plus I'd be sitting up a little higher than the others in my group which might be a problem???
I have an old metal folding chair that I usually bring for performances, but it's heavy & not easy to carry.
Only $150 right now and frequently drops further.That looks super nice. But $300
$300 would be eating into my Uke money
Only $150 right now and frequently drops further.
I think of it less as money that could be used for another uke than as money (and pain) that isn't paid to my physical therapist
I got this chair in the before-time when there weren't any ukes in the house, and when my back was giving me enough problems that I couldn't play a guitar standing up. Worth every penny to be able to play without causing myself further damage!
Ooooh, this might be just the ticket. It's the right height, and I like the flat front edge.I ordered a set of these earlier this week.

The street market where we play stopped providing chairs, so I needed something. We'll see how these work.
At home, I usually sit on the sofa. In my home office, I take the bench from our keyboard. Arm chairs just don't work for me. Too confining.
That listing looks broken. It’s showing me $150 for UNIT. Click the used & new link and there’s a new one at about $130.When I go to the link it says that 1 unit is $297.25
