Obviously the best lounge chair is the Herman Miller Eames lounge chair. I've been having pretty severe lower back problems and I think it's because of the cheap POS couches I got from Value City Furniture a couple years back. I picked up a used HM Embody chair off CL for 400$ using HSA funds a couple years back for my office and it's been an amazing ROI(if R is wellbeing).
However, at home, still using the shitty couch. I'm looking at getting a nice HM Eames Lounge chair because the brand totally saved me before at work, so I don't see why it would not at home. However, the Eames starting price is 6,400$ and the two I found used on CL are 2500-3500$. There are many imitators out there but from the articles I've read comparing the two, the imitator quality is so lackluster that it's not worth it.
So I'm here for stories, recommendations, etc, on cheap alternatives to a good lounge chair for sitting at home watching TV, freelancing, websurfing, etc. Brands you like, reasons you like them, and if you have personally had a good experiences with an Eames replica.
