Best upholstered armchairs for living rooms

Top pick: Sable Upholstered Fabric Armchair — a proper living-room chair rather than a bedroom accent piece: full fabric upholstery, a deep seat and a frame that suits everyday lounging, and it's sold at several stores so you have options on colour and delivery.

Who the others suit:

• Waverly Bouclé Armchair — the most generous seat of the bunch; best if the chair is the room's centrepiece and you want that soft, textured look.
• Affinity Curved-Back Bouclé Armchair — a sculptural curved back for a modern or minimalist room.
• VINGLI Chenille Armchair — a compact, budget-friendly chenille chair for a corner or reading nook.
• Yaheetech Mid-Century Set of 2 — buy a matching pair for a sitting area or a pair of flanking chairs.
• Weture Mid-Century Accent Chair — mid-century styling with a deep 20-inch seat.
• COLAMY Wingback — a taller, more traditional silhouette.
• Merluxy Corduroy Wingback Set of 2 — soft corduroy and a high back, in a pair.

Before you buy: measure the seat depth and arm height against how you sit, and check the upholstery against pets and spills.
