Abisko Plush Lounge Chair

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.

Most Cloud-Like Chair

Floyd Home Sink Down Lounge Chair

Sink Down Lounge Chair

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.

Most Comfortable Swivel Chair

Setawix 42.2″ W Swivel Barrel Chair

42.2" W Swivel Barrel Chair

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.

Interior Define Hayley Chair and a Half

Hayley Chair and a Half

Now 20% Off

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.

The plush cushions are perfect for a rainy day in. Or just any day.

Most Comfortable Armless Chair

Trule Armless Bean Bag Chair & Lounger

Armless Bean Bag Chair & Lounger

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.

Most Comfortable Modular Chair

Sabai The Elevate Chair

The Elevate Chair

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.

Most Comfortable Metal-Frame Chair

Zinus Ada Sling Accent Chair

On Sale

Ada Sling Accent Chair

Now 20% Off

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.

Most Comfortable Bouclé Chair

Casterly Solange Performance Bouclé Chair
