Please recommend your comfy armchairs to me! We moved 18 months ago to a very small cramped rented house (no choice in the matter) and hence have very little space for furniture. We can fit one small 2 seater sofa and one armchair. The sofa is ok but sitting on it for any length of time gives me backache, not sure why.
When we first moved I bought a chair from a charity shop - it was ok to sit in but was a bit too big and had wooden bits on the arms that we constantly banged our knees on so it had to go. Then got another chair from Freecycle, an old style Ikea one that has turned out to have a completely knackered back cushion and is awful to sit in! I realise buying second hand is part of the problem, but we just can't afford new. I also have quite a bad back so that doesn't help either.
So we need a chair that is comfortable, with a fairly small footprint (most importantly not too wide), not leather or fake leather, padded arms, and not too low. Tell me about the chairs you love!
