I accidentally wrote a story that was similar:
A man lives alone in his apartment. He needs to return to the office for the first time in months. He arrives at the office, and quickly develops excruciating back pain. A few days pass, and he finds himself unable to work. He also starts finding strange bite marks on his neck and back.
He calls out for a few days, but eventually, he has to go back. He arrives at work and sits in his chair. He quickly feels his back pain return, but also strange movements from his chair. He stands and screams, tossing the chair. The office staff are in shock. He then uses a pen knife to cut open the back of his chair. As he does, there are multiple screams, as a large, spine-like centipede emerges from the chair.
I even did the rough draft for the comic, but never finished. Damn I need to.
Yes you do. And then you need to keep it far the fuck away from me.
Thank you!
I mean that’s el almohadón de plumas but with extra steps
I’d never heard of them, but I’m definitely checking them out. That’s “The Feather Pillow”, in english right, by Horacio Quiroga?
That chair was made for me!
But see, that’s much creepier than some impossible, unknowable horror… it’s something disturbing that conceivably could happen.
Yeah… I’ve got a real problem with people being near me and me being unaware of them. This… I’d die of fright from the realize they were there before the blade hit anything important.
I’ld burn every piece of furniture and move to a cave.
Better check inside those rocks, just in case
It’s a dude in a chair. To me that’s just silly
have you met dudes?!

Or even breathe to be honest
The human chair was adapted from a story by author Edogawa Ranpo though.
My favorite adoption of the trope is in this masterpiece
He was trying to hide and eating canned fish?
Okay but poop bag?
nods poop bag
Iain M Banks has entered the chat
Got my attention. I’ve read 1.5 Banks novels in the Culture series and so far nothing living in chairs.
Don’t really get the reference but upvoting Ian M. Banks regardless.
So was that really a broken spring?
On an unrelated note, I thought this was a public safety broadcast about the dangers of not wearing a seatbelt.

He become chair
I assume Junji Ito changed it a bit but you can read the original (translated) short story by Edogawa Ranpo here: https://pseudopod.org/2021/08/21/pseudopod-771-the-human-chair/
“The call is coming from inside the chair!”
“I’m living in your walls!” so? I’m living in your chair
