Unlock Ultimate Relaxation: 14 Chairs So Comfortable You’ll Never Want to Leave Them

Article’s luxe velvet lounge chair has a wide base and flattened armrests, which can double as a headrest if you want to take a power nap. You’ll start to realize it’s even more comfortable than it looks as you slowly sink into the seat. If you don’t want to deal with the maintenance of velvet, you can also get it in a fabric material.

Floyd’s lounge chair is quite literally called a “sink down” chair. and that is what it’s made to do. The seat base is wide and roomy, and the cushions are like what we actually imagine clouds to feel like. Good to sink into for the whole rest of the day… or night.

This one is always running low on stock because it’s so popular. The Setawix swivel chair is more of a throne. With its deep seat, 360 degree swivel, and extra cushions, this chenille beauty is our top pick if you want to spin.

Some furniture brands are making what they call a chair and a half, which is bigger than your normal chair but not as big as a love seat. You could squish two people onto it if you want, but it’s really meant to be extra roomy for one. Once you go chair and half, though, it’s hard to go back.

We love Interior Define’s performance velvet, but you can also get the chair in linen, chenille, and a number of other plush and weave options. If anything, there are too many options for color and fabric, which can make this couch a bit overwhelming to shop for.

We never thought we’d be turning to Anthropologie for furniture. But this Havana leather chair … well, it looks stunning at home. The top-grain leather gives off an incredible shine, and the shape adds some visual interest. And yes, of course, it’s way more comfortable than it looks. The plush cushions are perfect for a rainy day in. Or just any day.

A regular recliner will be comfortable, but it might not match your taste level. Especially the box-y tech heavy ones (more on that later). Thankfully our friends over at Design Within Reach make a recliner that’s got a more refined shape. What we mean is that it’s not ugly. Plus, with almost 100 upholstery and color combinations, anyone can find a version of it that works with their space.

The Internet loves a steal, and this armless lounger is a bit of a designer dupe. This is a great option for making a corner extra cozy in a bedroom or living space, especially wherever kids might be. It’s lightweight for a chair, at 28 pounds, making it easy to up and move whenever you might need. Great for absolutely rotting in front of the TV on the weekends.

If you like a little more support in a chair—something your arms can actually rests on—this Sabai chair is an excellent option. The high arms mean it’s slightly less lounge-y than some of our other choices, but the low-profile back makes it still feel relaxed. It’s part of the brand’s modular furniture, so it’s both easy to put together and style with other pieces.

It’s also made from sustainable eco-friendly fabrics including recycled velvet and upcycled poly. If voting with your dollar is important to you, Sabai is an excellent brand to back.

Desk chairs like this one from Amazon have been making the rounds on the Internet for giving supportive cushioning on a chair that’s often flat and uninviting. It might not be the ultimate desk chair like the ones you can get from Herman Miller, but it’s also a fraction of the price. With this chair you can make working from home comfortable at a price that won’t put a dent in the holiday gift fund.

For a simple, inexpensive, and comfy high-back chair, this one is great. The back is tall and supportive, sitting at just the right angle and with an added cushion where your head and neck hit. It’s designed with high-density-sponge cushioning, which feels great but can wear down after some use.

This Zinus chair is well priced, easy to put together, and easy to move. The metal frame isn’t great for resting your arms and limbs, but the thick, shredded-foam cushioning makes the actual sitting part quite comfy. It’s the perfect price if you want to pick up an extra chair for guests—since its easy to move around the house.

While this one is a great value, it may not be as long-lasting as the larger investment chairs on here. Some reviewers report high-use chairs wearing down on that cushion, though.

The comfort of this Casterly chair is all in the thick seat cushion and cozy bouclé fabric. It feels soft to the touch and adds a bit of softened dimension to the room. It’s armless minimalist design might not be for everyone, but with a 30 day return policy it’s worth giving a shot. Or if you dig the design, but aren’t a fan of bouclé, you can opt for the chair in leather.

When it comes to chairs that provide a lifetime of support, it’s Herman Miller. The Eames lounge chair is the most well-made, supportive-but-soft chair you could dream up. Totally an investment, but one that will last you literal decades. You can comfortably work from home all day in it and then bring out the ottoman (not included) for evening gaming or TV watching.
