How To Choose The Most Comfortable Chair For Living Room?
Backrest and Armrest Design
These two parts of the chair take a huge role on the support for your lower back and arms.
Armrests
Most living room chairs come with armrests so that you can rest your hands and elbows more conveniently. The design is commonly classified into padded and non-padding groups depending on the user's preference.
What you should seriously consider is the arm height - which depends on your body size. The best armrest height should be at the similar height of the point of your bent elbows.
Backrest
High backrest is suitable for formal purposes, reading and TV-watching activities, and people who want extra support on their neck and head.
Lower backrest is suitable for casual purposes and people who love lounging or resting on their living room chairs.
Padding
For the most comfortable living room chairs, you should pay attention to the firmness/softness levels and body contour.
The firmness level of padding is a preference issue. But in general, it is recommended choosing soft padding under the seating area and firm padding in the backrest if you opt for a framed chair.
Polyurethane high density foam is the shiniest contender in this case.
If you are seeking a frameless armchair, sintepuh padding and at least 1.9 density polyurethane foam is a good combination to provide support and prevent deformation.
For hybrid chairs that feature a foam top layer and a spring base, latex is our recommendation.
Depth and Height of Chair
These two measurements depend on your body type and size.
Taller people tend to require a bit more depth of chair and vice versa. But take note that extra depth will influence the overall fit in your living room.
You'll know a chair is at the right height for you when it keeps your knees at a straight 90-degree angle and your thighs parallel to the floor.

FAQs
Are round chairs comfortable?
Yes, they are. Round chairs are very comfortable and supportive as long as they are at the right height, depth, and recline to fit your body shape and size.
Are all living room chairs good for watching TV?
No, they aren’t. Only those living room chairs with high and upright backrests are good for TV-watching.
What kind of chairs are good for your back?
Saddle chairs are considered the best for your back.
Why does my back hurt when I sit in a chair?
Improper sitting posture is the culprit of your backache when sitting in a chair. It puts extra pressure in your legs, arms, shoulders, and back – which causes strain and ache.
Is it better to sit on a hard or soft surface?
A hard surface is considered better to sit on than a soft surface because it provides more sufficient support to your body.
Conclusion
Although the design and shape of chairs for living rooms have dramatically evolved and expanded in the past years, the original concept keeps the same. It is a piece of furniture to provide comfort when you’re sitting on.
