How to find the right armchair for your space
Armchairs are super comfy chairs that offer extra seating space and a spot to sink into for reading, relaxing or watching t.v. Designed with armrests to support your elbows, these furniture essentials are cosy, stylish and add pizzazz to any room.
Pick up a new armchair from Amart with durable upholstery and expert craftsmanship in a stunning range of colours and fabrics. Pop them perpendicular to the lounge suite or use them to complete the bedroom, office or dining room. Add home accessories like cushions and throws to turn your armchair into a statement piece that elevates the entire home.
Before you choose an armchair, you’ll need to consider:
- Material - Fabric, leather or leather-look?
- Type - Do you want a chair that extends for lying down, leans back, turns?
- Location - Armchairs can go in the living spaces, offices, bedrooms and more.
- Budget - How much do you have to spend on a new armchair?
- Design - Choose a colour and style that complements your existing home decor.
Different types of armchairs to pair with any lounge
Armchairs come in all different styles. Some of the most popular types include:
- Wingback - These chairs feature a high back in the shape of ‘wings’.
- Recliner - These chairs lean back with a footrest that raises your legs.
- Swivel chair - Easily turn and reach for things with a chair that swings around.
- Tub chair - These lounge chairs have a low backrest that slopes around into armrests in a semi-circle shape.
- Accent chair - Also called occasional chairs, these armchairs stand out from their surroundings through bold colour, texture and design.
- Rocking chair - Rocking chairs move back and forth in a rocking motion for comfort.
- Chaise armchair - Like a chaise lounge, these armchairs have an extended seat that lets a person put their legs up in front of them and relax lying down.

What is the difference between a recliner and an armchair?
An armchair is basically any chair that has armrests and is padded for sitting on. Recliner chairs are a type of armchair that leans back when you apply pressure to them. Recliners take your comfort to the next level with an elevated position and, often, a footrest that also rises to let you put your feet up. These armchairs typically come equipped with modern features like USB ports and cup holders for even more comfort.
How do I find a comfortable armchair?
Consider the softness of the fabric and the design of the chair itself; does it have wide armrests? Thick padding for support? A back that will support your posture? One of the best ways to know is to try-before-you-buy. Use the Store Locator to find your nearest Amart showroom and view our new arrivals in person. Sit on our best selling armchairs and discover which one is the comfiest one for your needs. We have a wide range of chairs to enhance every area in the house, from the home office to a cosy reading nook in the living room.
