Wayfair

Pros
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • Not the comfiest cushion

With its easy design and neutral color, this barrel chair is a cool accent piece for most spaces. It’s lightweight, comes fully assembled, and does a good job of tying a room together. Style it with a throw blanket or pillow and call it a day.

Softest Shearling Chair

Tov Furniture Dakota Faux Shearling Armchair

Pros
  • Incredibly soft feeling
Cons
  • Only one color available

For a handmade faux shearling upgrade, this Tov Furniture chair is as soft as they get. It’s a little fluffier looking than some of its cheaper counterparts, and you can definitely feel the difference.

Best Small Shearling Chair

Ball & Cast Upholstered Accent Chair with Ottoman

Pros
  • Comes with an ottoman
Cons
  • Assembly required

This smaller accent chair is great for dipping your toe into shearling without any major commitments—financial, spatial, or otherwise. We like that it doesn’t take up much space and comes with a matching ottoman, though some reviewers noted imperfect alignment when putting it together.

Best Shearling Accent Chair

Hay Chisel Lounge Chair

Pros
  • Great materials
Cons
  • Pricey

Hay’s Chisel shearling chair is basically a piece of art. And yes, it comes with an art-like price. But for a standout furniture piece that’s well designed, durably constructed, and as enjoyable to sit in as it is to look at, you can’t beat it.

Best Go-To Shearling Chair

Article Gabriola Sandstone Wool Bouclé Lounge Chair

Pros
  • Cool colors
  • Good price
Cons
  • Tips easily

Article’s furniture tends to blend seamlessly with any decor that leans modern, and this bouclé chair is no exception. It works well in most rooms, with three neutral color options, and minimal assembly is required (just gotta screw the legs on yourself). However, some reviewers noted that the chair tips easily if you lean against one side or sit on an arm.

Best Metal-Frame Shearling Chair

Crate & Barrel Momo Accent Chair

Pros
  • Shearling arms
Cons
  • Unavailable until late fall 2024

Crate & Barrel’s accent chair puts two opposing materials together to make a visually interesting (and supremely sturdy) piece. The industrial metal frame is harsh but solid, while the soft shearling seat, back, and arms soften the whole thing. Assembly and packaging removal are included, but right now the chairs aren’t shipping until late fall.

Best Mixed-Media Shearling Chair

CB2 Jed Black Shearling Chair

Pros
  • High back
Cons
  • Pricey
  • Fades in harsh direct sunlight

For a luxurious, not-too-much-shearling shearling chair, CB2 has designed a piece that’s comfortable and cool to look at. The deep shearling cushion is substantial in width and depth and sits atop a linen back and suede-wrapped legs. Not a ton of shearling chairs come in black, either, making this one quite distinctive.

Dimensions 31.5″H x 27.75″W x 31.25″D

Best Swivel Shearling Chair

Albany Park Park Swivel Armchair

Pros
  • Wide seat
  • Lifetime warranty
Cons
  • Some assembly required

Albany Park’s swivel armchair is made with a subtle white bouclé (other colors are available but in different materials), and with its wide seat and high pillow back, it feels more like you’re sitting on a mini swivel couch.

Dimensions 36″H x 45.5″W x 35″D
Colors 1 in shearling; 4 in other materials

Best Shearling Chair for Small Spaces

Ivy Bronx Hadriel Upholstered Swivel Accent Chair

Pros
  • Fun colors
Cons
  • Back is too low for some

At 27.2 by 29.6 inches, this bouclé swivel chair doesn’t take up much room but adds a great seating option to spaces that need it. It’s more affordable than most of these chairs, and thanks to its faux shearling, it comes in eight colors. The small size is the real draw here, but some people find that the low back doesn’t offer enough support for their liking.

Best Luxe Shearling Chair

Maiden Home Perry Chair

Pros
  • Excellent for sitting cross-legged
Cons
  • Very expensive

If there’s a dream chair on most people’s home decor wish lists, the Perry may be it. While it’s certainly an investment, it delivers with expert design and construction and first-rate materials. It even comes in four bouclé colors, which can be hard to find, with more than ten additional color options in other fabrics.

Dimensions 32″H x 32″W x 31″D
Colors 4 in boucle; 10+ in other materials

What to Look For in a Shearling Chair

Size

Where you want to put your chair will determine the most appropriate size to get. Pay close attention not just to the chair’s dimensions but also to its future location, budgeting room for an ottoman or extra foot space for swiveling.

Back Height

If you’ve ever bought an accent chair and regretted it, it may be because you didn’t keep one specific part in mind: the back height. Although some low-back chairs look great, some people really hate not having that high support.

Fabric Type

Real shearling is sheep fleece, and much like a real leather jacket, it’ll cost you. But real shearling tends to be softer and more luxe than its imitation counterparts, though faux shearling and bouclé fabrics have their advantages, like a cheaper price and more color options.

Why Trust Esquire

There’s nothing we like more than being comfortable—or, perhaps more accurately, there’s nothing we hate more than being uncomfortable. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for great home seating—for reading, lounging, and working—and the softest fabrics for our clothes, sheets, and more.
