Oversized Accent Chairs for Maximum Comfort

When a standard armchair feels too small and a loveseat takes up too much space, an oversized chair is the perfect middle ground. These roomy seats deliver comfort and style without overwhelming your room—ideal for reading, movie nights, or creating a cozy nook. The Furniture Mart’s oversized chair collection offers bold design, generous sizing, and options for every home, style, and budget.

Chair Styles

Shop armchairs in various styles, colors, and options to match your space and lifestyle. Our variety of sizes, fabrics, and features means each comfy armchair offers unique benefits for how you relax and entertain.

Chair & Half

A chair and a half sits between a single armchair and a loveseat. At 48–60 inches wide (50% wider than standard chairs), this wide seat with a deep seat design gives you room to stretch out, share the seat with a pet, or sit beside someone. The extra depth (38–42 inches) makes it perfect for curling up, while still fitting neatly into corners or alongside a sofa. Weight capacity typically ranges from 300–400 pounds.

Swivel Barrel

Swivel chair barrel designs feature rounded backs that wrap around you, paired with a 360-degree swivel base. This modern design lets you easily turn to join conversations, watch TV, or face a window. The smooth rotation is ideal for open floor plans where you need flexible seating. Most swivel bases use sturdy metal mechanisms rated for thousands of rotations.

Upholstery Options

Pick from durable fabrics like chenille, linen, and performance weaves that resist stains and pet hair, or choose leather and faux leather for timeless style and easy cleaning. Blended upholstery combines cozy textures with low-maintenance surfaces. Many fabrics are rated for everyday or high-traffic use, with multiple colors available.

Size & Fit Guide

Oversized chairs typically range from 40–60 inches wide and 38–45 inches deep, offering plenty of room to relax. To ensure the right fit, measure your entryways and seating area before purchasing, and plan for 30–36 inches of clearance around the chair. In smaller rooms, chairs under 48 inches wide help keep things open, while larger spaces can easily accommodate styles up to 60 inches. Try outlining the chair’s footprint with painter’s tape to visualize placement, and if you’re choosing a recliner, remember to allow extra wall clearance for full extension.
