Buying Guide

With so many advantages that come with a green velvet chair, it's no wonder why it's a sought-after product for many homeowners. The velvet material is not just comfortable, but it exuberates luxuriousness as well.

Furthermore, the bold color of the green chair cover is something that most rooms could use. However, you can't just buy the first green velvet chair that you come across. Otherwise, you'd run into the risk of making a costly mistake. You need to know what to look for, and that's what this article is all about.

What types of chairs are there to choose from?

Most chairs in the market can be categorized into task chairs, executive chairs, and lounge chairs.

The task chairs are the type of seating accommodation that is designed to aid the user in doing prolonged tasks. A task chair is typically low-backed, and it comes with an adjustable seat. Also, it's typically on wheels so the user can easily slide under a desk. In most cases, it doesn't come with an armrest.
The executive chair is like a lounge chair for the office, except with a thinner profile. It's purposely designed to look "grand" and imposing. It's also loaded with comfort features.
The lounge chair is typically placed in a bedroom or living room. As the name suggests, it's a chair that is designed for lounging purposes. Hence, it's primarily designed for comfort and style.

What types of velvet are there?

Keep in mind that not all velvets are created equal. In fact, there are plenty of velvet variations. Below are a few of the popular ones:

Cotton Velvet – This velvet is primarily made from cotton. Thus, it's thicker and heavier. As a result, it's one of the toughest velvet types.
Silk Velvet - The original material for making velvets. It's lightweight, very luxurious and very soft. However, it's also the most expensive velvet type.
Nylon Velvet – This is a velvet type that is made from synthetic materials. Thus, it's more economical than cotton and silk. On the other hand, it's not as soft as silk nor as durable as cotton.
Microfiber Velvet - One of the newer forms of velvet. It's typically made from denier polyester fiber. It has the advantage of being easy to wash. Also, it's water and stain resistant.
Stretch Velvet - This has the advantage of being easy to care, plus it's machine-washable.

What extra features to look for in a velvet chair?

The basic chair only comes with a seating accommodation and a backrest height of just below the shoulders. Nowadays, chairs have plenty of additional features such as:

Armrest - A feature that provides the user a place to rest his or her arms, allowing the upper extremities to be in a more relaxed position.
High Backrest - A feature that extends the backrest to the point that it can support the head. The features significantly increase the comfort of the chair.
Stackable - A feature that allows you to stack the chair on top of each other easily. It allows more portability and saves storage space.
