Why choose a fabric armchair over leather?

A fabric armchair earns its place differently from a leather one. Where leather feels cool and formal, fabric stays soft and warm against your back, and it comes in colours and textures leather cannot match. That is why most people choosing a single chair for reading, relaxing or filling a quiet corner end up with fabric - it feels cosier and blends more easily with a room.

Do you offer accent armchairs and recliner armchairs?

Yes - the range covers both. Fixed accent armchairs, like the Verona and Canterbury designs, are for reading, relaxing or adding character to a corner. Recliner armchairs add a footrest and a reclining action: the Conway is a manual recliner, while Tanya, Foster, Maple and Roma are electric recliners that recline at the touch of a button and need a mains socket nearby.

What is the difference between chenille and weave?

Chenille gives a deeper, brushed feel that catches the light and looks plush and cosy. Weave is flatter, more textured, and tends to hide everyday marks a little better, which suits busy homes. Both are hard-wearing fabrics; the choice comes down to whether you prefer a soft, luxurious touch or a more practical, textured finish. Check each product page for the exact fabric.

What fabrics and textures are available?

Beyond chenille and weave, the range includes soft suede on the Maple recliner armchairs and plush velvet on the Olympia. Each has its own look and feel: chenille and velvet are soft and light-catching, weave is textured and practical, and suede is warm and tactile. The product page lists the material for each chair so you can choose by feel as well as look.

What colours can I choose from?

The fabric armchair range comes in a wide choice of colours, including grey, beige, caramel, charcoal, black, cream, brown and truffle. The broad palette means you can match an armchair to an existing sofa or set it apart as an accent piece in a contrasting shade. Darker tones hide marks well in a busy room, while cream and beige keep things light and airy.

How much do fabric armchairs cost?

Prices start from £199.99 for an outlet electric armchair, with most accent and recliner chairs around £399.99 to £449.99, up to £475 for the Livie. Many are reduced from a higher regular price, so check the individual product page for the current figure, and you can spread the cost with interest-free finance and 0% deposit at the checkout.

How do I fit an armchair into a tight corner?

Measure the corner width and depth, and remember an armchair needs a little clearance on each side and room in front to sit down comfortably; a recliner also needs space ahead for the footrest to open. Angling a chair across a corner often works better than squaring it into the walls, and a compact accent chair suits tighter spaces better than a bulky recliner.

How do I pair an armchair with my existing sofa?

You can either match or contrast. To match, pick a fabric armchair in the same colour family and texture as your sofa for a coordinated look; to make it an accent, choose a contrasting colour or a different texture - a chenille chair against a weave sofa, say - so it stands out. Our wide colour range makes either approach easy.

Do the recliner armchairs need a power socket?

The electric recliner armchairs - Tanya, Foster, Maple and Roma - are mains powered, so each needs a socket within reach and a tidy cable run; plan where the chair will sit before it arrives. The Conway manual recliner needs no power, reclining with a lever and your own weight, so it can go anywhere without a socket nearby.

How do I care for a fabric armchair?

Vacuum gently with an upholstery attachment to lift dust, and blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing them in. Brush chenille and velvet to keep the pile even. Use a cleaner made for fabric rather than harsh chemicals, and keep the chair out of strong direct sunlight so the colour stays even. Follow the care label for any wet cleaning.

What finance options are available?

You can spread the cost with PayPal Pay in 3, Klarna Pay in 3 or Pay in 30, and Clearpay across four fortnightly payments, all interest-free, or with DivideBuy over a longer term, subject to credit check. There is also 0% deposit available, and you choose the provider that suits your budget at the checkout.

How long does delivery take, and can you remove my old chair?

Most in-stock armchairs are delivered free across England and Wales within around 7 to 10 working days, with the date confirmed in advance; a few made-to-order designs take a little longer, as noted on the product page. Our two-person team brings the chair into your ground-floor room, and you can add old sofa removal at the checkout.

What is your returns policy?

If you change your mind, our 14-day returns policy lets you arrange a return within 14 days of delivery, provided the item is in its original condition. With an armchair it is worth measuring your space and, for a recliner, checking a socket is in reach first, so you are confident it suits your room before it arrives.
