Armchairs

Armchairs that give every moment its own special place

An armchair can complete the living room, create a reading corner or provide you with a separate seat to relax in. At Sofertón you’ll find models such asÁlava, Jaén, Jana, VDR and Vélez. To choose between them, first think about how you’re going to use it and measure the space where you want to place it, including the clearance required.

If you’re furnishing the whole living area, do also compare thesofás. The armchair can complement the main piece of furniture without having to extend it, but it is worth checking the proportions of both: the seat height, the depth and the space that will remain between the pieces of furniture.Choose your armchair based on how you’ll use it and the space available

When it comes to reading, you might want a backrest that allows you to maintain your preferred posture and armrests positioned at a comfortable height. If you’re looking for a chair for chatting, also consider how it will be positioned in relation to the sofa and the table. None of these requirements can be met by the style of the furniture alone: compare the dimensions and features of each model.

In a small corner, mark out the width and depth of the armchair on the floor before buying it. Leave enough space to sit down and stand up, open a door or place a lamp if you need to. A design that looks light in a photograph must also fit within the actual layout of the room.

The text above mentions wingback armchairs, Scandinavian-style armchairs, narrow armchairs, nursing armchairs and children’s armchairs. These terms describe different styles or uses, butare not sufficient to identify the available models. If you’re looking for a specific feature, such as a high backrest, rocking function or a reclining mechanism, check that it’s explicitly listed in the product details for the armchair you’re interested in.Design, upholstery and details worth checking

The armchair is also part of the décor: you can choose a piece that matches the sofa or one that stands out for its shape and colour. First, compare its proportions with the rest of the living room; then check the upholstery options available for the model you’ve chosen. The photograph may show a different finish to the one selected in the order.

Check the width, depth, seat height and type of backrest. If the model has any mechanisms, check how they work and how much space they require when in use. Also check the fabric’s composition and cleaning instructions, where available. It is not always accurate to assume that all armchairs have features such as a washable cover or a reclining function.

Before confirming your purchase, measure the doors, the lift and the turns in the staircase leading to where the armchair will be placed. If you’re looking to recline next to other seats, also compare thesofas with a chaise longue: the extension takes up more floor space, but serves a different purpose to the individual seat.Frequently asked questions
