what type of chair would be best...a soft, cushiony chair, or a hardwood chair?
You would want a firm but soft chair. The hardwood chairs are good but they hurt the back of your legs when you are sitting down on them, but the firmness of them is awesome, because they can hold the pressure of all the action that is happening. Sometimes a hard wood with a cushion on it is a good chair to use, plus it doesn't rock when you want to roll. It is a stable chair to use. Have fun. Good luck.
I think it would depend on how long I was going to be there for, I don't want to get a sore bum. and a hardwood chair might dig into other parts of the body?
Easy...if you are going to play with ROPES you need a hardwood chair. If on the other hand the ties are SILK, then you need a SOFT chair.
Glad I didn't miss this one, I am quite opinionated on this topic... thanks for waiting for me! Hardwood, fabric that can't be thrown in the washer should be avoided when adults are at play ; ) The best chair to be tied to is always one with wheels and that swivels, it keeps things mobile and positioning is a breeze - we are talking a 360 degree tied spin... fun fun! See the link, this is an pretty much an ideal chair and oh so practical looking... think no panties, plaid skirt, black lace bra and knee high stockings with pig tails and a smile! Hard wood is my preference regardless of the tying materials... after all pretty much all things involved should be hard or wet so back to the no fabric issue! Rather rope, shackles or satin ties are used a hard chair is the way to go here, slight padding okay as long as it is vinyl or leather. The slats should allow for a variety of rope positions! Now the only thing that is not ideal about this chair in particular is that the arms are not removable (versatility for other play settings) but since the question deals with being tied the arms on the chair are important. Remember when tying a girl up you should always leave the ability to use her hands - in a fixed position, but still usable, they are no good to you behind her back! Ohh and the rollers have no issue with carpet and yes I KNOW that ; )
