Just 29 Of The Most Comfortable Chairs Your Butt Will Thank You For
1. A contemporary sling chair wide enough for you to comfortably sit crossed legged in. The look? Amazing. The square black metal frame is so minimal that it almost looks like the cushions are floating.Â
Amazon
Promising review: “Best purchase yet! The chair is large, so I can comfortably sit with my legs crossed. The cushions are so thick and plush. I love it! The cushions stay up nicely. I let the cushions air out for a day and a half, even though it’s supposed to be 72 hours. They are still very well plush and expanded. It adds a nice modern touch to my living room. I would 100% recommend getting this!” —Destiny DeMoss

2.
A velvet tufted chair and ottoman that can swivel 360 degrees. The seat is extra thick — almost 14″ of cushion — so if you like a plush seat, this is the one for you.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is a great chair. It’s just perfect for reading and is very comfortable. My calico is a big 18-pound cat. When I’m not sitting in it, she is. Easy to assemble. The velvet is of good quality. For the price, you can’t find a better swivel chair and ottoman. Very pleased.” —sandeeÂ

Promising review: “I usually don’t write reviews, but I had to come back for this! I love these chairs. They definitely exceeded my expectations! Great size and comfortable, now my family usually sits in these more than the couch because they are comfortable and beautiful! They definitely give a hint of luxury to the room. If you’re hesitant to buy, I say go for it!” —Dallace

4.
A spacious accent chair that’s as comfortable as it is pretty. This chair is amazing because of the way its seat and back cushions are designed: it’s foam wrapped in feathers, so you get the aesthetic and feel of a firm cushion but the plushness of one that’s filled with down.
Albany Park
Promising review: “Decided on this chair after lots of research and measuring. We have a small 600 sq. ft. house and needed a couch/chair that could hold two ppl if needed but not be huge…This chair is so comfortable to sit in many different positions.

Once the parts were laid out it took less than 30 minutes to assemble both. Happy to report they are as comfortable as they are beautiful. The online images are a true representation of the product (always a concern of mine).” —Jean
