Need help with chair suggestions (self.Blind)
submitted by CuteHalfling
I have to sit very close to the tv so I get beanbags. They don’t last long so I was looking for suggestions of what type of seat to get that can be right in front of the tv but not be a bother to others. Any help would be appreciated. (I do sit sideways but in front of tv)

Hello! I have an idea, there are ground level chairs sold as "ground level gaming chairs" but they are quite comfy. They look like the letter J that has been widened. There are no legs, you have a rocking motion since its a curved bottom. They also have the option for audio output - speaker or head phone jack which is nice. Hope you find what you're searching for!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think my nephew had one of those. It might have to be the way I go. :D

Another option, depending on your vision, may be something like Max TV glasses. They are a type of magnifying glasses that you can wear that are basically binoculars for TV.

Check with a low vision specialist in your area to see if they may be useful.

They’re nifty. Unfortunately don’t think they’ll work for me.i have nystagmus so I have to turn my head severely. (That’s just one of my conditions)

I can't help with chairs sorry, but I'm curious, why don't beanbags last that long? My nan had beanbags for the kids in our playroom and they lasted for a year or more.

I use it everyday and they just end up like a puddle on the floor.
