I started watching this and stopped as soon as he pulled out the chair because I actually own one of his chairs

And how do you feel about the chair?

I'm sitting in this exact chair at the moment. I was rear-ended at a red light 6 years ago and have a damaged disc in my neck, so at some point in the last few years I decided it was a good idea to splurge on a good chair. I've owned this chair for 4 or so years now and it's fucking great. It's helped relieve quite a bit of my neck pain and it's comfortable as fuck.

As for plane romance, you can't top the Spitfire.

^This chair on their site has a price starting at $1,305.00.

If you can't make that kind of investment, I found a $100 chair that's pretty great for me by going to two office supply stores and sitting in all of their chairs... so I got to try out about 50 chairs total.
