Reclining swivel chairs instead of sofa?

[CimCardashian]

I find the sofa quite uncomfortable,it makes me slouch and I’d like to be a bit higher. Is this middle age setting in?!
We have 2 sofas so would keep one and maybe get a couple of lovely swivel chairs. I cannot picture them in our lounge though as we’ve always had sofas!

Has anyone else done this?

You can do lay-z-boy battles like Joey and Chandler!

These type of chairs

@EekThreek a friend mentioned Joey and Chandler straight away 😂

😂 Sorry, it was the first thing my brain did!

Those chairs aren't very Chandler and Joey though so I think you're safe.

My parents have just got a chair exactly like that and it's very comfortable. But if you're worried about middle age setting in this might not be what you want to hear... 😬

Look at the Moonrise chair by Fama. I'm going to try one out on Sunday. Hopefully it's very comfortable and looks good too.

Nice @Mosaic123 some lovely colours too.

Sadly it was a disappointing experience, trying a Moonrise chair that is. The arm rest cushions were so high as to be uncomfortable. There were other items that were far more comfortable though.

That’s disappointing! Sounds like you found some good alternatives though.

Yes. Ego Italiano's Nora chair was really lovely and comfortable. The price was over £2k which was pretty steep.

Ever since my elderly parents got riser recline chairs I've hankered after one, so comfortable!

We got rid of our sofa a while ago, & got armchairs. They don't match & we don't care. DH has a big slouchy one, DD has a pretty one, & I have a very upright one (bad back & I like to sit up very straight). Mine & DH's were 2nd hand, DD's was a bargain in a sale. I'm sure if you had the budget you could get individual chairs to suit each person & have them match. Or at least coordinate.

Some interesting thoughts here.

I’m only 44 so it’s a bit early I know 🤣

Go for it, but visitors will find it strange. I got rid of my sofas and have had a few comments.

Two eames chairs/ottomans and a loveseat over here. Dh actually wanted 4 LaZboy recliners...

I’m still waiting for recommendations please! Want a slouchy swivel recliner
