If you're looking for a seat with curves in all the right places, you can do no better than a tub chair. The cocoon-like shape and thick, padded upholstery make them a popular choice suitable for various interiors.
Grey tub chairs are an understated addition to any neutrally decorated space, while a velvet tub chair is just the thing for giving contemporary interiors a luxe update. You can even update your existing furniture with a new tub chair cover – the options are huge.
A type of armchair, a tub chair features a deep seat and backrest that slopes around into armrests in a continuous semi-circle. The deep seat offers a superior level of comfort to sink into, while the cushions and the back provide support.
'Very useful where space is tight, tub chairs can also be used as a style highlight,' say the style team at Wayfair. We couldn't agree more.
Are tub chairs comfortable?
Absolutely! Their padded design and supportive shape make them the perfect place to put your feet up. This is why you often see them in restaurants and hotels – they're a crowd-pleasing and comfortable seating option.
Where do you put a tub chair?
No matter the room, there's a tub chair to suit. A small tub chair is a stylish way to fill empty corners, especially in compact spaces. It's a great way to increase your seating options when your room is limited, too. Tub chairs are also great accent pieces for living rooms and bedrooms alike.
