Buying Guide

A distinct style of furniture which has caught the attention of many people, the chair and a half style is suitable for those who don't want a sofa but want something wider than a regular armchair. The chair and a half design isn't quite big enough for two people to sit on, but provides a huge amount of comfort and luxury for the one person using it. Here are some of the things you should consider before buying one.

How to choose the right size leather chair with ottoman?

Lower chairs don't necessarily make things more comfortable, and if you suffer from back problems or want to prevent any potential unwanted back pain, you may benefit from a higher chair anyway. You can find a chair and a half which is around three feet off the ground. When deciding which height to buy, try out different chairs and choose a height which allows you to put your feet flat on the floor while you are sitting on the chair.

Many suppliers are able to customize their furniture to your tastes, and this can often include the height of the chair and a half. There's no harm in asking whether there is a possibility of having a chair altered – this broadens your options and allows you to consider lower chairs which can then be altered.

As well as choosing a great chair that suits your individual preferences and requirements, it's just as important to find your ideal ottoman. Many ottomans will come as a pair with the chair you have chosen, and you should sit on the chair and rest your legs on the ottoman for a realistic experience of the furniture.

How to select the armrests for your leather chair?

Another important feature of chairs is the style of the armrests. This is important for ensuring your long-term comfort once you've bought the furniture. You should look out for the following:

The grip of the armrests: Nobody wants to struggle when trying to get up out of a chair, particularly if you struggle with pain in your body. When you try out the chair, pay attention to the way the armrests allow you to get up easily.
The padding of the armrests: Not only should you be looking for something which is durable and doesn't wear down easily when you're sitting in it for hours, but different layers and types of padding will provide different effects. Foam padded armrests are ideal for people who suffer from arthritis and other joint paints.
The length and height: Some armrests don't extend far enough for you to rest your entire arm. While this may be a preference for some, you should look out for this when you sit in the chair. Your arms shouldn't feel like they are being pushed up too high, and you shouldn't feel like you're having to drop your arms lower in order for them to comfortably lean on the armrests.
