Comfort is paramount when choosing an armchair for relaxation. Good back support and proportions, good depth for leg support and then of course, seat & back cushions which meet your personal requirements for achieving that Ahh factor after a long day running around on your feet.
Clearly, in addition to looking for an armchair which suits your personal requirements, you’ll also want a design which works with your décor and available space.
You’ll need to consider the upholstery – leather or fabric or perhaps a combination of the two.
Some armchairs have a swivel base and a reclining feature or you may want a fully adjustable armchair with an extendable footrest.
