15 Most Comfortable Accent Chairs, Tested and Reviewed for 2024

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
