An armchair can create a quiet reading corner, add an extra seat for visitors or bring colour and texture into a living room. Comfort is personal, so the right chair is not only the one that looks good in a photo. Seat height, seat depth, back height, arm position, cushion construction and upholstery all affect how the chair feels in real life.
Choose the chair for its main job
For long reading sessions, look for supportive arms and a back that suits the way you sit. A deeper, softer chair can feel relaxed for curling up, while a more upright seat may be better for conversation or occasional use. Swivel styles can work well between two zones in an open-plan room. Slipcovers may suit homes where easy care is a priority, while leather, fabric and textured upholstery each bring a different feel.
Consider seat height and depth together when comparing chairs. A deeper seat gives you more room to sit back or curl up, but may feel less supportive for someone shorter. A shallower seat can make it easier to sit upright with your feet on the floor. Seat height also affects how easily you can get in and out of the chair, so consider the person who will use it most rather than relying on one standard measurement.
Cushion construction can also change the comfort and maintenance of an armchair. Selected OZ Design chairs feature feather-filled cushioning for a softer, more relaxed feel, while other models use different foam and fibre constructions to provide varying levels of support and firmness. Softer cushions may require more regular plumping and reshaping, so check the individual product specifications and care instructions when comparing designs.
OZ Design's occasional and armchair range includes armchairs and selected recliner styles, with options such as Australian Made, customisable, feather-filled and slipcover designs. Product availability, cushion construction and features vary, so compare the individual specifications rather than assuming every chair is made the same way.
Check scale from every angle
Measure the overall width and depth on the floor, then check the back height against windows, sideboards and the sofa. Remember that the external dimensions do not tell you everything about how the chair will feel. Compare the seat width, seat depth and seat height as well as the overall footprint.
Leave room to reach a side table and make sure the chair does not block a walkway when it is turned towards the room. Swivel and recliner models may require additional clearance to operate comfortably.
If you are matching a chair to an existing sofa, aim for a coordinated palette or repeated material rather than an exact match.
Check weight limits and care before you buy
Weight limits can vary between armchair designs and constructions, so always check the recommended maximum weight for the individual product before purchasing. This is particularly important when comparing occasional chairs, recliners and other styles that may use different frames or mechanisms.
The upholstery you choose will also affect how the chair should be cared for. For fabric chairs, vacuum regularly using an appropriate upholstery attachment to remove dust and crumbs before they become embedded in the fibres. Blot spills promptly rather than rubbing them, and avoid general household cleaners that are not designed for upholstery. Always follow the care instructions for the individual fabric.
Leather has different cleaning and conditioning requirements, while slipcovers may require professional cleaning depending on the fabric and construction. Following the specific care guidance supplied with your chair will help maintain its appearance over time.
OZ Design has been sharing life with Australian families since 1979. The chair used for morning coffee, phone calls and the last chapter before bed should suit the person sitting in it, not just the empty corner.
Armchair FAQs
What should I check before buying an armchair?
Compare seat height, seat depth, back height, arm height, cushion construction and overall footprint. If possible, sit in the chair and notice whether your feet rest comfortably on the floor, your back feels supported and you can get in and out easily.
Do you prefer to sit upright or curl up in your chair?
This is one of the first things to consider when comparing comfort. If you like sitting upright, look for a supportive back and a seat depth that allows your feet to rest comfortably on the floor. If you prefer curling up or relaxing back into the chair, a deeper and softer seat may feel more natural.
Do your feet comfortably reach the floor?
Sit all the way back in the chair and check where your feet naturally fall. If they do not comfortably reach the floor, the seat may be too deep or high for the way you like to sit. If your knees feel raised or cramped, you may need a higher or deeper seat.
Do you prefer a firm or soft armchair?
Think about whether you like feeling supported on top of the cushion or prefer to sink further into it. Cushion construction affects both the initial feel and how much maintenance the chair may need, with softer cushioning generally requiring more regular plumping and reshaping.
Is the armchair easy for you to get in and out of?
Seat height, depth, firmness and arm position can all affect how easily you can stand up. Try getting in and out of the chair a few times in the showroom rather than judging comfort only while seated.
Should an armchair match the sofa?
It does not need to be from the same range. Repeat one element, such as a timber tone, colour family or fabric texture, so the pieces feel connected.
How much space should I leave around an armchair?
Allow enough room to sit down, reach a nearby table and walk past without turning sideways. Swivel or recliner chairs need extra clearance for movement.
What is the weight limit for an armchair?
There is no single weight limit that applies to every armchair. Check the recommended maximum weight listed for the individual product, as this can vary depending on the frame, construction and any reclining or swivel mechanisms.
