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 love seat. 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 are probably ten 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. Some of the brand's best offerings at 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.

The Internet loves a steal, and this armless lounger is a bit of a designer dupe. This is a great option for making a corner extra cozy in a bedroom or living space, especially wherever kids might be. It's lightweight for a chair, at 28 pounds, making it easy to up and move whenever you might need. Great for absolutely rotting in front of the TV on the weekends.

This chair is made to be lived in, sat on, ate on, whatever you're apt to do on the chairs in your house. This is not precious furniture. This is durable and it is comfortable, and it belongs in a house where it's going to get some use. Choose from a ton of upholstery types and colors, as well as two comfort options: classic and a bit more luxe memory foam.

Albany Park's armchair is a slightly oversized version of a classic armchair, and we love it for an upgrade that suits many home styles. You can choose from 10 fabric and color options and pick from one of three wood finishes. The seat cushions are removable and cleanable, so some of the kid- and pet-friendly fabrics are especially good for lived-in homes.

We love this open, loungey chair with low-profile arms and a slung-back seat. It's not as traditional-looking as something like say, a recliner or club chair is, but it has all of the comfort. The thin metal frame makes it feel particularly modern.

Saatva of, yes, the great mattress frame, also makes some equally comfy furniture for the rest of the house. This chair might not look as soft and squishy as some of the other options, but it's filled with a more supportive cushion that softens over time. The seat and back are overfilled, and the arms are padded with foam that breaks in with some use.

The velvet, ultra-padded seat and back cushion on this Soho Home beauty is overfilled, and the armrests are dramatic and cool. It's a good-looking chair with the quality to match, but it's one of the more high maintenance picks you could get. There's only one color and the upholstery should be professionally cleaned only.

If you like a little more support in a chair—something your arms can actually rests on—this Sabai chair is an excellent option. The high arms mean it's slightly less lounge-y than some of our other choices, but the low-profile back makes it still feel relaxed. It's part of the brand's modular furniture, so it's both easy to put together and style with other pieces. Choose from a few colors in three fabrics: recycled velvet, upcycled poly, or hemp blend.

Studio McGee's collabs with Target's Threshold continue to be excellent. This cream faux shearling, slightly oversized chair is a great lounging piece. The neutral color and fabric goes well in many rooms. The wide arms and thick back define how comfy this chair is. It's not just for sitting proper and upright. It's for lounging, for hanging your legs over and taking a nap. That said, we do wish the backrest was a bit more substantial.

If you're not joking around about a comfortable lounge chair, neither is Benchmade Modern. This chair is basically a sofa for one. It has a wide shape with thick arms and substantial seat, stuffed with a down alternative. It has a medium-soft level of comfort—it feels nice, but won't pull on aching joints—and its unmatched for movie watching.

World Market's armless chair is a no-brainer for an empty corner than needs some seating. This shape is open and inviting, allowing for more room without any pesky, constricting arms. It's a good price for what it is at under $500, but the leather quality isn't as high as it is on some of the pricier options. Still, it looks excellent and performs just as well.

Safavieh's arm chair is a solid choice for tighter spaces that could still use a little comfy seating. It's not quite as much of a lounge chair, though the plus side to that is you could certainly use it as a dining or desk chair. Plus, the arm cushions are a standout.

Eternity Modern's shearling chair is a pricey choice but it's also bound to become a household favorite. It's well-designed and comes fully assembled, so you can be certain the frame is steady from the start. The wide, sunk in base and medium back height is great for lounging and reading. Plus, you can choose from either genuine or faux sheepskin.
