There exists soda cakes?
As well as soda donuts. The Raleigh Krispy Kremes sell Cheerwine donuts.

The best chairs are the ones where you can curl up into a ball and still feel comfortable.
Agreed. My office chair is the best, since I can essentially lay down in it. Half my back is on the seat, and my feet are up on the desk. Sure, I look silly, but it's comfy.

Best: Overstuffed recliner. Or one of those Herman Miller Aeron chairs. Those things are crazy comfortable for office furniture.

Worst: Electric.

Worst: All of them.

Least worst: High-backed with tall-ish arms and plenty of cushioning. Something I can kick my feet over one of the arms and lounge/nap in.

Beds, chaise lounges, etc., so forth, so on. That's where it's at. Hammock-like constructions are also acceptable. I'm a person that doesn't really like sitting. If I'm not able to lay down, I'd rather be standing. Or sitting against a wall on the floor. Usually as comfortable as chairs, that. You can jury-rig things using multiple chairs that are somewhat acceptable.

The recliner. It's the ultimate reading perch.

Recliner, head's down the best type of chair.

For more practical use, office chairs with decent padding and wheels, for easy access to my bookcase, TV and computer desk.

Worst? Those chairs attached to university desks with about 110 degrees of rotation and springs that invariably overpower your legs and crush them against the closed side of the desk.

Fuck chairs. I can't sit correctly. I always sit down, then shift to one side, and to the other. I can never seem to have a comfortable ass positioning on a chair. It's kindof saddening since I'm sure chairs would rule if I could ever get comfortable in them.

I rate all chairs and chair like objects as the worst of.

I'm a person that doesn't really like sitting.

Ah! I have a downsized one I use as a footrest/leg putting place on the bed. They're nice. Wouldn't mind a larger one, actually.

I'm now envisioning a kind of beanbag chair container that has an attached and repositionable desk-thing, kinda' like you see on classroom desks. Just mobile, so you can adjust it to be near you when once you arrange yourself on the beanbag. So you'd have beanbag chair plus stability plus desk room, all in the same space.

I think it'd be close to my intention of taking some hardwood planks, making a box out of 'em, putting it on the floor and then filling it with pillows and blankets. As a bed/nest. Bugger mattresses, I'll make my own sleeping surface.

My wheeled labstool is pretty sweet. Good for scooting about. Least favourite? Any generic plastic moulded chair which casuses you to sweat in areas you dont want sweaty.

Ugh. Yes. I hate leather chairs for just that reason. I need cloth that can breathe, dammit.

I got a plastic ball sit thingy. Extremely nice to keep you from dreaming away while doing important stuff. Problem is that it's quite old, and  I have to turn it around every so often.

Best is extremely soft office chairs. So comfortable.

Worst is beanbag chairs, I get no support and am never comfortable. And they break.

Sitting in chairs is bad for your back. I prefer Roman style luxury stools, with the little arms and no back or front. But I lost all mine in the Crusades, goddamn Hospitaller knights they're hard to find these days.

Best: Those chairs that are shaped like bowls. I have one and it's the best.

Worst: Wooden chairs. No padding, no mercy.
