Unless you are already a very strong player (2400+ FIDE), I doubt if a World Champion would be a very good coach.  Frank Brady, a close confidant of Bobby Fischer, related in his Fischer Biography ("Endgame") that he once asked Bobby about chess lessons.  Brady was probably around 2000 strength (by today's standards.)  Bobby said his first lesson would be to read and play through every line in "Modern Chess Openings,' which was the definitive source for English-speaking chess players back in 1960.  Fischer then added, "And my second lesson would be to instruct you to read through it again and memorize all of it."

In other words, a Super-GM would expect a student to already have put in 1000's of hours of hard work, before he'd even take you on as a student.  Kasparov is not going to teach you the Lucena position.

Certainly not Carlsen, for he's not well padded.

For comfort, space and years of excellence there is only 1 choice.  Ben Finegold.

He’s not a world champion. He’s a grandmaster

He's a champion couch.  Chess is secondary to comfortable seating.
