There is a particular way people sit when they are properly comfortable, which involves folding both legs underneath themselves and abandoning any pretence of good posture. A standard armchair makes that awkward and a full sofa makes it faintly ridiculous, since there is always an empty seat beside you asking to be filled by somebody else.
The snuggle chair exists precisely for that gap between the two, and it fills it beautifully. At roughly a seat and a half wide it gives you room to curl up sideways with a book and a blanket, while still reading as a chair rather than a small sofa that has wandered into the wrong corner.
Here is the part that surprises people, because a seat and a half turns out to be a width that works surprisingly hard.
If you are unsure where to begin, order up to six free swatches and they will reach you within a few working days.
Most people buy one because a two seater sofa felt like too much furniture for the space and a single armchair felt like slightly too little. That middle ground turns out to be where a great deal of actual living happens, particularly in flats and smaller sitting rooms.
Choosing is less about the prettiest photograph and more about how you actually intend to sit, since a chair for reading and a chair for lounging are not quite the same piece.
THE CLASSIC SNUGGLE
Low rolled arms and a deeply buttoned back give you the Chesterfield armchair silhouette at a wider width, which is the version most people picture. It is the natural companion to a matching sofa, since both pieces can be ordered in the same hide.
THE WINGED VERSION
A taller back and enclosed sides bring the wingback chair shape into snuggle proportions, which creates real enclosure and makes the seat feel like a room within a room.
BUTTON SEAT OR CUSHION SEAT
A buttoned seat keeps the tufting running unbroken for the strictest traditional look, while a cushion seat gives you the softer, more forgiving seat that suits long evenings.
ONE OF A KIND PANELS
Several patchwork armchair designs are built at this width and their panel arrangements are never repeated, so the chair you order is genuinely the only one.
A leather snuggle chair is the first thing most people picture, since a good hide only becomes more beautiful as its patina develops around the buttoning. The extra width gives whatever you choose more room to be seen, which is worth remembering when a bolder cloth tempts you.
A snuggle chair works hardest when everything around it stays quiet, which is exactly why it suits simpler rooms.
Walls that work. Soft white and warm neutrals let the chair become the obvious focal point of the room. Deep forest green or ink blue behind a tan hide is one of the loveliest pairings there is, and warm plaster tones flatter both the buttoning and the leg finish.
Textures that flatter. A good throw and one or two cushions matter here, since this is a chair people genuinely burrow into. A floor lamp angled over one shoulder turns the whole corner into a reading spot, and a Chesterfield footstool completes the lounging position.
The extra width reads larger in a room than it does on a screen, so measuring properly matters more here than with a single seat.
Every chair is handmade in Manchester using time honoured techniques, so each seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations, with the frame beneath carrying our ten year guarantee.
Yes, roughly half a seat wider, which is exactly enough room to fold your legs up beside you. Everything else stays the same, including the buttoning, the arm height and the frame beneath.
Loveseat is chiefly the American term, and in Britain the same piece is called a snuggle or cuddle chair. Confusingly, loveseat is sometimes also used for a small two seater sofa, which is a different thing entirely.
A snuggle chair has one generous seat cushion and reads as a chair, while a two seater has two seats and reads as a sofa. The snuggle is better for one person stretching out, the two seater for two people sitting properly.
It is arguably the ideal piece for one, since a two seater often feels like too much furniture and an armchair like too little. Flats and smaller sitting rooms are exactly where this width earns its keep.
Yes, and most people who consider both end up choosing the snuggle for the extra room. It occupies noticeably more floor than a single seat, so measure before deciding.
Yes, since most designs exist as both, so the two can be ordered in the same hide or cloth. Ordering together is the surest way to have the leather cut for an exact colour match.
