Is there any way to make a chair with foam padding ESD-safe, without removing
the padding or ruining the looks of the chair? I have this very problem, but
can't afford a new chair at the moment.

Would it help to try and ground the chair through a large resistor somehow?


Thanks for any serious suggestions,
