Favourite type of Dental Chair

So I had a cleaning today and I made a comment that I found the chair very comfortable. The hygienist told me she thinks so too and regularly naps in it, and jokingly suggested that we should both get one in our gardens and sunbathe in them! She then started telling me a story of when she first started as a hygienist and that there was an old foot-pump type chair in the basement that she loved and the practice let her take home (!). Needless to say my thoughts were running wild. I've only ever been in the typical modern chair that lies back flat, feet up.

So what is your favourite, old or modern? If you prefer old, and have a fetish for treatments, would you want old tools used as well?

Modern, preferably more of a surgical chair/table.

I love the early “lounge chairs” with huge armrests and the feeling, that your feet are always high in the air

My favorite type of dental chair is quite specific. Adec Cascade 1040 with over the patient delivery system. It’s the chair I sat in as a kid and still sit in at other offices. Gives me a good feel that other dental chairs can’t compete with. It has been around since the late 90s I believe but it’s still popular in many dental offices today. So I would say it is not vintage but also not super modern either.

I've always been curious about being in an older style dental chair. One that sits more upright and looks more like an old barber chair that has all the dental tools attached. Just seems really intimidating.

Modern, wide and soft, the kind my orthodontist has

If I had a choice I would love to try the classic Dentsply CL-1.

Sounds like you are describing the DentalEZ:

The newer, memory foam chairs with massage and heat. Adec 3000 or Midmark elevance.

I like the ones that were around in the late 70's early 80's, I had gas sedation in one of these, large and soft with a big headrest, almost like a U shaped headrest😊

Preferably a modern one nicer light and more adaptable can be put in more positions and che clean look.

I like the newer more modern chairs with the soft leather. The feeling of them is so nice as well.

This is similar to the setup at the office I go to https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FcO2VHvEngM

Not sure what model, but they are very comfortable.
