Lounge Chairs
A lounge chair is an accent or occasional chair designed for relaxing rather than upright sitting -- typically wider than a standard chair, with a lower seat and deeper cushion. They work well in bedrooms, reading nooks, and living rooms as a complement to a sofa. Club chairs, barrel chairs, and oversized accent chairs all fall in this category. Seat depth matters: a lounge chair that is too shallow for your frame will not feel comfortable for extended reading or relaxing; test the seat depth in person before buying. We carry lounge and accent chairs in fabric and leather, in a range of styles from traditional to contemporary.
A lounge chair is a single upholstered chair designed for extended comfortable sitting -- deeper and more reclined than a dining chair or accent chair, but more intentional than a recliner. It's the chair in the corner of the room where someone curls up to read, nap, or be alone with a good book.
We carry lounge chairs in a range of styles from barrel chairs and club chairs to low-slung contemporary loungers and Scandinavian-style wood-and-fabric designs. Seat depths from 22 to 28 inches, in fabric, leather, and leather-match upholstery.
What Makes a Good Lounge Chair
- Seat depth: A lounge chair should have a seat deep enough to tuck your legs up or stretch out. 24 to 28 inches is the range where most adults can sit truly comfortably
- Back height and angle: Lounge chairs angle slightly back -- not as far as a recliner, but enough to naturally support a resting position. Look for a back angle between 100 and 110 degrees
- Pairing: A lounge chair almost always works better with an ottoman -- it completes the ergonomic position and makes the chair more versatile. Consider purchasing as a set if the model offers it
- Room proportion: Lounge chairs are wider than accent chairs (typically 30 to 36 inches vs 24 to 28 inches). In a small room, one well-chosen lounge chair can fill the seating role that a second sofa would occupy in a larger space
