Are Chesterfield sofas comfy, honestly?

[Shuttheblinds]

I am looking at replacing our sofas with chesterfields but I am worried they may be really uncomfortable because there is very little back support as they are so low.

I keep looking at the sofa we are about to replace and we lean against the back of it iykwim and the chesterfield I am looking at would be much lower with hardly any back.

I love them to look at but are they comfy as a main sofa!

I had one in my room at college and it was fab - the back was at just the right height to rest your arm on with a glass of wine, feet up with a good book..... I haven't bought one myself as the one thing they are not good at is sheltering you from draughts.

I am having second thoughts after reading replies here. Thank you all for being honest. The people who hate theirs hate them for the reasons that I am worried about.

We bought this 2 yrs ago and love it. We have it in grey leather. I would have liked fabric but we have two spaniels who sit up on it, so I thought leather would be more practical.

It took some getting used to after our previous sofa which was higher backed and more cushiony.

Ours is very similar to the M&S one you’re looking at.
