Believed to have originated in France as early as the 1600s, chaise longues are certainly not a new invention. However, their popularity seems to grow year on year. They have proven themselves to be an excellent alternative or add-on to standard sofas, taking up less space yet still allowing for more seating than an armchair.
Chaise longues, while once synonymous with French elegance, now come in a range of different designs. From contemporary, minimalistic stylings to decadent, rich leather, there are options to suit all interior tastes and budgets. In this guide, we help you to know what to look for when buying a chaise lounge. Our top ten features furniture from Amazon and Argos, keeping your shopping easy and accessible.

With so many chaise longues on the market, it is easy to be overwhelmed by choice. Expert opinion states it is always best to match your existing décor to ensure longevity. Whilst high fashion items can be tempting, you may quickly bore once trends change and end up getting rid of practically new furnishings – which is not the most sustainable option. Consider your style and choose your chaise longue to match.
A statement chair is another great way to add interest to a room.
It is easy to get carried away when shopping and fall in love with an item before considering the practicalities. As well as measuring the chaise longue to see if it fits your space, remember that some face to the right and some to the left. If you'd like more flexibility, look for pieces with interchangeable arms. These aren't as common, but it means you can switch the direction it faces as needed.
Unless placed purely as a design accent, your chaise longue should be able to stand the test of time. So, consider your fabric carefully. For busy families with sticky fingers and paws, a cream chaise is probably not the best idea. Leather is a great option as it can be wiped clean easily, while faux leather is a more affordable, vegan-friendly choice. Microfibre and other polyester fabrics are durable and shouldn't stain or fade.
Whilst everyone wants a comfortable chaise longue, some styles come with extra features that add to the comfort factor. Look for moveable backs or arms that can be reclined to an angle better suited to your activity. Extra features can also include storage, such as drawers to hide away magazines, board games or toys. Removable and washable cushion covers are always a good idea in a family home.
If your chaise doesn't recline, you can always add a footstool!

The very words 'chaise longue' conjure images of rich 1920s women draped over furniture and this chaise longue from Beliani certain lives up to that image. With rich velvet and comfortable padded upholstery, this would fit perfectly into a libradrawing-roomg room, and we adore the shade of green.
Available in left- or right-facing styles, every detail adds to its style. It has button-tufted detailing on the back, dark wooden legs and brass-studded tacks hammered into the bottom of the seat and side of the arm for a finishing touch. This high-quality chaise from Swiss company Beliani is definitely worth every penny.
HOMCOM have named this chaise longue the bed end chaise longue and we can see why. It fits perfectly at the end of a bed. With straight edges and arms on both sides, it is the ideal finishing touch to any bedroom. The ideal spot for taking off shoes, lounging on with a book or even folding laundry! The possibilities are endless.
The style is simple yet elegant with stunning grey linen fabric. The wooden legs are very sturdy, which is impressive given this chaise longue comes in at an excellent price. Some assembly is required so remember this if purchasing for a last-minute occasion.
This is practicality at its very best. This chaise longue can not only face either direction, but it also has the added benefit of having a fold down arm rest. Once folded down, the chaise is fully flat meaning that it can be used as an occasional bed for guests. Perfect for a spare room when space-saving is a priority.
The base features solid, sturdy wooden legs and plush grey upholstery. The fabric is 100% polyester, meaning it is hardwearing. You can easily accommodate plenty of guests without worrying about general wear and tear. The best part is that this chaise is also one of the more affordable out there.
Fancy all the luxury of a chaise longue but tight on space? This chaise is the option for you. With more compact measurements, this gorgeous piece of furniture will easily slot into the corner of both country cottages and city apartments. The shade of teal is a funky and fun splash of colour for any modern home.
Not only is this chaise longue compact, but it is comfortable too. The stylish back slots neatly against the curve of your own back, supporting you whilst you read or rest. As for assembly, only the feet will need screwing on, so it will come together very quickly and easily.
We can almost smell the rich leather from here. This chaise longue screams classic elegance and would not look out of place in the study of a large country home or hotel. With a padded seat, buttoned back and even a bolster cushion for extra support, HOMCOM have thought of everything.
We adore the tack detailing around the seat too, which adds that finishing touch of elegance to this very classic-style chaise. This chaise is another affordable option that's well-made too – the faux leather is durable and easy to care for, and the legs are made from sturdy pine.
This is another smaller chaise that fits perfectly at the end of a double bed, only this one has the added bonus of hidden storage. Simply lift the seat to reveal a large space for blankets and sheets, pyjamas or other items if placed elsewhere. The butterfly print fabric adds a playful touch, accompanied by a cushioned seat and sturdy wooden legs.
Unfortunately, the manufacturers don't state exactly what the fabric is, so it's hard to deduce how hard wearing it will be over time. The background is also an ivory colour, so we wouldn't recommend it for families with toddlers and sticky fingers. However, it is such a pretty item that would be a welcome addition to most homes.
If you want to be able to accommodate guests but don't have the space for a double bed, then this is the chaise for you. It doesn't just recline, it can fold into several different shapes depending on your need. A chaise one day, an ottoman the next, this item of furniture will even change into a comfortable armchair.
We can't recommend this product enough, especially if your spare room doubles as a home office. The only downside is this item isn't quite as sturdy as those with chunky wooden bases. We advise keeping the sleeping on occasional use, rather than as an everyday bed, to maintain longevity.
Like the idea of lounging on a chaise but don't have the space? Here is the answer. This beautiful bright yellow armchair folds out into a chaise for you to relax and read a book or watch TV. Simple fold it away when you are done, without interfering with the flow in your space. With padded arms and comfy cushions too, this is ideal for the living room.
The chair has a sturdy steel frame that won't rust over time, however, reviews state that the fabric perhaps isn't as hard-wearing as others on the market. Nonetheless, for the price and the fact that you get two pieces of furniture in one, it's definitely a great option.
Why should the grown-ups have all the fun? HOMCOM not only make excellent chaise longue for living rooms, but they also have a range of mini ones designed for children. This tiny chaise may be small but it doesn't lack in the quality we expect from the brand. With plush velvet upholstery and wooden feet, it will certainly stand the test of time.
Of course, the main downside here is that it is so small. Aimed at toddlers, even younger children will outgrow this chaise fairly rapidly. However, if you don't fancy passing the chaise to another young family afterwards, why not consider turning it into a bed for your cat or dog?
Another option from the specialists at HOMCOM, only this 3-in-1 style chaise also features an adjustable back and easily folds from chair to chaise longue. The back can be altered depending on your activity. It can even be reclined fully to make a flat bed for sleeping. In a minimalistic colour with an attractive bolster cushion, this chaise will suit most households.
Whilst stylish, elegant and practical for those with limited space, it only it isn't the cheapest chaise on our list but it isn't the most sturdy either. Some customers find the legs are a little wobbly. However, if you are on a budget and are keen on an occasional bed for guests, then this is still a great choice.
