Things to know when choosing a lounge chair

Choosing a good lounge chair isn't just about having a beautiful surface; true comfort is what fully realizes its "leisure and entertainment" function. So, what makes a lounge chair truly comfortable? DeLopis believes the following six aspects are crucial.

1. Depth of the lounge chair

Lounge chairs are generally used in home life, a time when we are more focused on relaxing and are less likely to sit deeply. Therefore, when purchasing one, it's advisable to sit on it first and test how it feels to see if it meets your daily relaxation needs.

2. Armrest height of lounge chair

Different people have different sitting habits. If you habitually hang your arms down, you can choose a lounge chair with low armrests or no armrests. However, if you like to curl up in the middle of the lounge chair, then a chair with high armrests and a deep seat is probably the best choice. Lounge chair manufacturers produce different lounge chairs based on the characteristics of different groups of people.

3. Backrest height of lounge chair

For those who prefer to keep their eyes straight ahead, besides choosing chairs without armrests or backrests, they can also choose chairs with low armrests and low backrests. In this case, the sitter's center of gravity will be on their abdomen. If they prefer to place their center of gravity on their back and thus lean on the backrest, they should choose a reclining chair with a higher backrest. In this case, they should also check whether the height of the backrest is around their neck. Sometimes, if the chair backrest is only around the neck, the user will subconsciously place their neck at a 90-degree angle on the backrest, which can easily lead to neck injury.

4. The tilt angle of the lounge chair

Most lounge chairs have backrests that recline slightly, allowing the body to sit stably. Lounge chairs with a higher angle of inclination make it feel as if you're lying down, which is exceptionally comfortable. For example, the Eames lounge chair is suitable for both chatting and sleeping.

5. The softness of the lounge chair

Pay attention to the softness and comfort of the seat cushion and backrest. If it's a lounge chair without additional seat or backrest cushions, check the strength of the raw materials themselves. For chairs with additional cushions, pay attention to the type of internal filling used and try sitting on them to see how they feel.

6. Stability of the lounge chair

The structural details of a lounge chair determine its stability, especially for armchairs like single sofas where the legs are the key support point. Pay close attention to structural issues, such as checking joints and screws. It's recommended that you personally sit in the chair and gently rock yourself to feel its stability when purchasing.

By choosing from the six levels mentioned above, and by personally trying out and experiencing the different chairs before purchasing, you're sure to be able to choose a comfortable chair that suits you perfectly.
