Even Your Tiny Living Room Can Feel Like a 5-Star Hotel With These 14 Chaise Lounges

Nothing could ever be more inviting than a deep, sprawling sofa. But there’s something to be said for being intimately held by the best chaise lounges (or longues, for any Anglophiles reading this). If you’ve ever enjoyed a TV marathon from a freestanding chaise, you surely agree, and if not, allow us to explain. 

For one, you don’t have to share with others—it’s all yours. You don’t need to live with the stress of losing your phone between the cushions, because it’s just one long slab of seat. And at almost the same size as a twin bed, it’s highly nap-friendly. But still, it is far smaller than a sofa, allowing for a heck of a lot more open floor space. All of this to say, a chaise is the perfect spot to set up camp on a lazy Sunday. 

Whether you’re looking to introduce one to your living room (they make for great conversational seating across from a sofa), add one to your home office so you’re not stuck in your desk chair all day, or create a luxurious sitting area in your bedroom, there are plenty of plush options to choose from. From more traditional roll-arm styles like Lulu and Georgia’s Rivington design from its Ginny Macdonald collab to sexier modern takes by Blu Dot, we found the best of the best chaise longues so you don’t need to spend hours weeding through the World Wide Web. 

Our Favorite Chaise Longues

CB2 Scalino White Right Arm Chaise

Longer legs make this pick a little more traditional than most tailored chaises. While it looks quite trim at first glance, don’t be fooled: It’s actually 70.5 inches long and 38.5 inches deep—that’s larger than some sofas.

BD Studio Habitat Chaise Longue

Perfect for someone who hasn’t yet decided if they prefer contemporary or classic, this one serves up a little of both. A more country-style slipcover paired with an angular back cushion and armrests can fit into nearly any aesthetic. Looks aside, it’s covered in performance fabric, made to withstand even the clumsiest of houseguests. 

West Elm Skye Chaise

Entirely armless and so low it nearly sits on the floor, West Elm’s Skye chaise is anything but classic. It starts at just $799 and comes in an array of colors. 

Blu Dot Sunday Chaise

The name says it all. The Sunday chaise is designed for off-duty chilling. Its legs are set back to create a floating illusion, balancing the deliciously plush marshmallow physique. 

DWR Emmy Chaise

Article Beta Chaise

If space is not an issue, consider Article’s Beta chaise. At 49 inches wide, it’s almost substantial enough to replace a sofa altogether. Even its armrest is extra-wide, perfect for resting a laptop or iPad on.

Cobble Hill Hannah Chaise

You can choose from a number of performance velvets and linens when shopping this sleek find from ABC Carpet & Home. It comes in a left-facing version, too, to perfectly complement your existing layout.

Sixpenny Elias Daybed

Thanks to a relaxed slipcover and European-inspired roll arm, it simply doesn’t get more coastal grandma than the Elias daybed. Just imagine snuggling up in it and knitting a scarf. As a proud Sixpenny sofa owner, I can confirm that the comfort and quality are top-notch.

Anthropologie Denver Modular Bumper Chaise

Anthro’s made-to-order Denver chaise is shown in an ocean blue performance linen, but you can’t go wrong with any of its endless options. Flanged pillow edges give the fabric a little more movement, adding to the overall laid-back look. 

Lulu and Georgia x Ginny Macdonald Rivington Chaise Longue 

This pick is fit for a cozy Cotswolds cottage, with timeless roll arms and wheeled front feet. It’s made in Los Angeles, which helps justify the investment-level price tag.
