Yes, couches are wonderful. As is that amazing mattress you maybe (definitely?) spend a little too much time on when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. But does anything beat sitting in a luxurious chair with a great new book, a steaming mug, and nothing else on the agenda for the afternoon? I. Think. Not.

Whether you're looking to make your morning reading sesh a little cozier, or just want to give your booty a better place to perch while succumbing to an hours-long Netflix binge, you need a comfortable lounge chair. And lucky for you, I know where to find the best of the bunch. Ahead, I’ve rounded up our favorite comfortable chairs—in a variety of styles and price ranges—that you can shop right now, from the comfort of whatever definitely-not-as-comfy chair you're currently sitting in. Whether you’re seeking an accent chair that looks like it belongs in a contemporary art gallery or a stylish Reading Chair to End All Reading Chairs, we’ve got something for you. Scroll away.

If your living room has touches of navy blue or heather grey, this delightfully oversized armchair was probably made for you. The cushions are stuffed with high-density foam filling that your booty will love, and two matching toss pillows are included in the (exceptionally low?!) price. According to reviewers, the piece is a “good size to curl up in” and “nice and wide.”

With a solid wood frame and fun angles, this chair nods to mid-century modern furniture. The distressed finish screams "retro," and the fabric is a tear-resistant linen blend that is actually antimicrobial (clean freaks, this one's for you!). The foam cushioning is a welcome escape from whatever the day has thrown at you. Bonus: A toss pillow is included with your purchase.

If you’re in the market for a vintage-inspired chair, this spinnin' seat from The Inside is for you. It gives retro-chic energy when you select a creamy velvet fabric like Pearl or Aqua, but we think a linen fabric (like you see here) looks especially great on this chair, too.

Can we talk about these sculptural legs? So. Cool. Coupled with a visually pleasing base, you’re going to want to take all of your Zoom meetings from this comfy chair. My vote is to buy it with the sheepskin fabric to take cozy comfort to new heights, but there are dozens of stellar covering options on offer.
