The 23 Comfiest Chairs for Lounging All Over the Place
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Comfy chairs are not just, obviously, comfortable, but they also produce a feeling of comfort in a room. They can make a whole room look cozy and, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, make that room indeed become cozy. Investing in a comfortable chair is a win-win for your physical state of comfort and for how relaxing an ambiance your room can offer.
Whether you're looking for a chair to watch TV, read a book, or take a pleasant afternoon nap, these 15 chairs go above and beyond in their calls to duty. Some have roomy bases for sitting cross-legged or curling up into a ball. Others have super-soft fabrics like velvet or silky smooth leather. All have great cushioning (a non-negotiable) but the style choices vary. Go with something that matches the existing furniture, or make this comfy chair standout by contrasting it with the rest. Either way, one of these will upgrade your life.
Abisko Plush Lounge Chair
Article's luxe velvet lounge chair has a wide base and flattened arm rests, which can double as a headrest as you slowly sink into seat.
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 cloud-like. Good to sink into for the whole rest of the day.
Hayley Chair and a Half
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 loveseat. You could squish two people onto it if you want, but it's really meant to be plenty roomy for one. Plus, we love a little bit of velvet.
Engles Leather Chair
No one does big and stark contemporary furniture like Arhaus. The brand loves a big, luxe sofa and the photography backdrop of marble or concrete speaks volumes to the vibe.
That said, everything it churns out is both elevated and incredibly comfortable. The Engles chair features nice soft lines and a high back you can really relax into. That said, there's probably 10 other options from Arhaus that could have made this list.
Rodez Saddle Leather Accent Chair
CB2 is our favorite retailer for contemporary mid-century inspired furniture. No one does it better at a similar price point. One of the brand's best offerings of the moment are the Rodez apartment sofa, long sofa, and this little accent chair. The shape is elegant, the leather is absolutely beautiful, and the seat is deep enough for you to get comfortable.
One word of warning though, it's quite a low-slung chair. The seat is only about 17 inches off the ground.
Helm Armchair
The Citizenry works with artisans from all over the world for its collections, and it's recently been expanding into furniture. A lot of it is good, but the Helm armchair is the absolute standout. The shape is modern, but the materials are homey.
The chair is great for reading, but pair it with the ottoman and you've got an all-day lounge setup.
Risa Recliner
A regular recliner will be comfortable, but it might not match your taste level. Thankfully our friends over at DWR make a recliner that's got a more refined shape. Plus, with almost 100 upholstery options, anyone can find a version of it that works with their space.
Havana Leather Chair
We never thought we'd be turning to Anthropologie for furniture. It always seemed a bit too young, too BoHo. But, this Havana leather chair... well, it's stunning. The top-grain leather looks incredible, and the shape adds some visual interest.
And yes, of course, it's comfortable. The plush cushions are perfect for a rainy day in.

The Perry Chair
Dawson Swivel Chair
MovieSac
Our editors have expressed LoveSac love several times on this website. This is not a shitty old beanbag. This is an adult-sized, actually going to last a long time, beanbag chair. For curling up with a coffee, there's nothing we prefer over this.
Once again noting the height. The seat height is around 15 inches, quite low. Older buyers might want to sit this one out. (Sorry for the pun.)
Endless Summer Lounge Chair
This Sundays chair is lightweight, well-made, and a great upgrade to most living spaces. The cushion on this gives it some extra comfort, but you can take it off, too, to see more of that rattan aesthetic.
Solange Performance Bouclé Chair
The comfort of this Casterly chair is all in the thick seat cushion and cozy boucle fabric. It feels soft to the touch and adds a bit of softened dimension to the room.
Elodie Outdoor Chair
This is a very extra outdoor chair but if you are serious about your comfort, this is the most comfortable outdoor chair around. Most outdoor-friendly chairs skimp on the cushioning and only offer something flimsy and easy to take off before a rain storm. You can still detach this woven fabric but it's thicker and more cushioned than any you've seen before.
Desk Chair
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. Working from home is as comfortable as you make it.
Eames Lounge Chair
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.
Harris Leather Power Recliner
For an updated take on a grandpa chair, this leather recliner doesn't feel the least bit outdated. The real highlight is in the thick back cushioning, which extends high up enough to cup your aching neck.
