I CAN FEEL IT HUMMING IN THE CHAIR TONIGHT

Body friend Quantum Audio Speakers by Bang & Olufsen

We’ve all done more than our fair share of sitting in the past 12 months. Chances are you’ve decided you quite like doing it – the bald patch your cheeks have worn into the sofa certainly suggests so. Then why not make 2021 the year you upgrade your sitting apparatus?

As posterior plinths go, you’ll struggle to find anything more luxurious than Bodyfriend’s new Quantum massage chair – which, as the slightly clunky full name suggests, comes with speakers supplied by B&O. Combined with an articulating 10.1in high-def tablet, it gives you even less reason to get up and check that your legs haven’t turned to jelly.

There’s no built-in doughnut dispenser but it does have a range of massage modes, while the tablet shows you your health and massage data, a bit like Strava for people who prefer pastries to pacing. And if it all gets too much and you’d rather just imagine you’re hanging out in space, there’s even a zero-gravity mode.

As hot as… lava-filled doughnuts
