Tell me about siting in the Helinox chair. Looks like you are "back" in the chair, kinda like it wouldn't be comfortable trying to sit on the edge, back straight? Like, sitting on the front edge of the chair, elbows on your knees kinda thing? Hope I'm explaining that clearly.

If possible, try to head to an outdoor/camping store like a REI, EMS, Cabela's, etc to try one out.
Or read the reviews on Amazon.

Gotta remember. It's a compact chair. It fits in a saddle bag. it's not going to be like a full size chair. But it beats a bench on a picnic table all day long.

Well, when this thread was created in 2010, the Kermit chair was the one to get. Nine years later, I'm happy to see it's still on top of the heap (I bought two of them). Somebody make a note to bring this thing back from the dead in 2029 so we can recheck.
One thing about mine is that they fit in a saddlebag (RKC leather bag). Not sure about those stage II Kermits with beer holder and leg extensions.

I use one of those Tube air chairs off of Amazon. $30 and it folds down about as small as your rain gear.

I think the key is to ride solo on an Ultra and then you can bring the biggest and most comfortable chair or anything else you want. Fill up the saddlebags and tourpack with stuff and then you can still put another 100 lbs of crap on the passenger seat where the 150lb wife would normally sit.
Other options are:
1) Teach the wife to ride and buy her a bike.
2) Trailer
