Contrary to what a lot of amateur musicians think, the guitar stool you pick absolutely matters. If you pick the wrong stool, you can actually do a lot of damage to your body, including your spine. Also, it can have a negative impact on how you play the guitar, so it’s vital to make sure you pick a stool that’s a good fit for you.

What features to look for in guitar stools?

You should always look for a guitar stool that can be adjusted to find the height you’re comfortable playing at. Stools that are adjusted too high beyond your comfort level are the ones that actually do damage to your back.
Unlike a regular chair, a good guitar stool will have no arms and no distractions that will get in the way of you playing guitar. It’ll be very basic in nature and simply just a stool. Some of them come with a backrest though.
The cushioning of the chair will always be soft to sit on and really comfortable as well. An uncomfortable seat makes for an inefficient guitar session.

Does a good guitar stool come with a back rest?

One of the most popular questions is if you should get a guitar stool with a backrest or no backrest. There are great guitar stools with no backrest and with a backrest, so it really depends on the pricing, the brand, and your personal preferences. Your overall comfort level is what should be taken into consideration when you’re playing. Some people prefer to have a backrest to lean back on and some people don’t mind not having a backrest at all.

What things to take into consideration when selecting a guitar stool?

Some guitar stools will have a padded footrest attached to them which some people need to keep comfortable but it’s not a deal breaker for most people if they don’t have one
The amount of weight that the chair can withstand because people come in different sizes and you don’t want the chair moving around or buckling under you if you’re over the manufacturer’s weight limit
Some of these chairs will also have a built-in guitar holder for people who need somewhere to place the guitar when it’s not in use and they exit the chair
The pricing of these different chairs can greatly vary, whether you’re looking for a budget guitar stool, an ergonomic stool or one that has the most features available
