Find your perfect spot to unwind

Whether it's curling up with a good book, enjoying a quiet cup of tea, or simply putting your feet up after a long day, an armchair creates a welcoming corner that's entirely yours. Our collection of armchairs brings together timeless design and sink-in comfort – each one handcrafted to become a cherished part of your home for years to come.

Explore our armchair ranges

From traditional designs to contemporary silhouettes, our armchair collection offers something for every interior style. The Hurley and Morris ranges feature classic scrolled arms and elegant turned feet – perfect if you're drawn to timeless, traditional interiors. For those seeking mid-century charm, the Saxon and Everett offer clean lines and compact proportions. Meanwhile, the Talbot brings deep button-back detailing for a sophisticated, tailored look that suits both modern and traditional spaces.

Choose the style that suits your space

Our armchairs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit beautifully into any room. High-backed designs like the Annie and Alice provide wonderful support and a cocooning feel – ideal for reading nooks or beside the fire. Compact options such as the Everett work perfectly in bedrooms, hallways or smaller living areas. Generously proportioned chairs like the Stewart and Robinson offer deep, sink-in seating for ultimate relaxation. Whether you prefer the elegant curves of the Ashbee or the relaxed comfort of the Osbourne, there's a silhouette to suit your style and space.

Handcrafted comfort, made to order

Every armchair in our collection is handcrafted in the UK using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Choose from a wide selection of fabrics – from easy-care House Linen Mix to luxurious velvets – in a palette of timeless colours. Select your preferred seat filling: go for cocooning feather-filled cushions or supportive, low-maintenance fibre. You can also pick your leg finish in light, medium or dark wood tones to complement your existing furniture. With removable covers on many designs and a choice of castor or turned feet, each piece is thoughtfully designed to work beautifully in real, lived-in homes.

Built to last a lifetime

Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means every armchair is built with care using responsibly sourced timbers, birch frames and zig-zag sprung bases. We stand behind our work with a 15-year frame guarantee – because we believe in creating furniture that lasts. From the pleated details on the Osbourne to the button-tufted backs on the Harriet, every design element reflects our dedication to both beauty and durability. These are pieces you'll love to live with, season after season.

What fabrics and upholstery options are available for the armchairs?

Our armchairs are available in 58 fabrics to suit your lifestyle and home. Choose from easy-care options like House Linen Mix, House Weave and Modern Velvet, through to luxurious Simple Velvet – all in a range of colours including Sky Blue, Indigo, Forest Green, Lily White and Natural. You can order up to six free fabric samples to help you decide which is right for you.

Are fabric or finish samples available to order before purchasing?

Yes, we offer free fabric samples to help you choose the perfect finish for your sofa or armchair. You can order up to six free fabric swatches to see and feel the materials in your own home before making your decision. Samples are delivered within 7-10 working days. Order your free fabric samples here.

What are the typical seat dimensions across the armchair range?

Seat dimensions vary across our armchair range to suit different styles and comfort preferences. Seat widths range from 44cm to 60cm, while seat depths range from 50cm to 64cm. For example, the Harriet armchair offers a seat width of 44cm and depth of 52cm, whilst the Robinson armchair provides a more generous seat width of 60cm and depth of 61cm.

Do the armchairs arrive fully assembled or will some assembly be required?

Most of our armchairs need only the feet attaching on delivery, which the courier will do for you. One exception is the Dawson armchair, which arrives fully assembled.

What are the delivery options and lead times for upholstered armchairs?

Our upholstered armchairs are handmade to order and delivered within 5-10 weeks, depending on the specific design. Delivery costs £5.95 and includes room of choice placement (up to the second floor, access permitting), with all packaging removed and recycled. Our specialist delivery team will contact you to arrange a convenient date, with delivery between 7am-9pm and a specific timeslot provided on the morning of delivery.

Are the armchairs suitable for everyday use, and how durable is the upholstery?

Yes, our armchairs are built for everyday use and long-lasting comfort. Handcrafted in the UK, each piece features a sturdy frame made from birch and a combination of hardwoods and manufactured timbers, with joints secured using glue, screws, staples and dowels. All armchairs come with a 15-year frame guarantee for added peace of mind. You can choose between two seat filling options to suit your lifestyle: luxurious feather for a sumptuous sink-in feel, or low-maintenance fibre – perfect for busy family life, offering lasting comfort with a self-righting foam centre and plush fibre-wrap that contours to your shape.

How should the armchairs be cleaned and maintained to keep them looking their best?

To keep your armchairs looking their best, we recommend regular care and maintenance. Vacuum and brush your armchair regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, immediately dab with a clean, white damp cloth – avoid rubbing as this can damage the fabric. Plump your cushions daily to maintain their shape and comfort, and flip reversible cushions regularly to ensure even wear. Position your armchair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading. For a deeper clean, consider professional upholstery cleaning every 18 months. For detailed care instructions, visit our Sofas and Armchairs Care Guide.

Do the armchairs come with a warranty, and what does it cover?

Yes, all our armchairs come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Frame Guarantee for added peace of mind. This covers structural elements including spring breakage, wood breakage and loose joints. The guarantee runs from your date of purchase and doesn't require registration. Please note that the guarantee doesn't cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage or fabric – though we do offer a comprehensive five-year upholstery care plan for additional fabric protection. For full details, visit our 15-year guarantee page.

Are the armchairs designed to coordinate with other furniture in The Cotswold Company's ranges?

Yes, our armchairs are thoughtfully designed to coordinate beautifully with other furniture in our ranges. Many of our designs feature complementary leg finishes available in light, medium or dark wood, allowing you to match them to your sofa's aesthetic as well as your décor. For example, the Hurley armchair pairs nicely with our Harriet armchair, while the Morris armchair styles beautifully alongside our Ashbee design. Each piece is handcrafted in the UK using the highest quality materials, ensuring a cohesive look throughout your home.

What is the returns policy if an armchair is not suitable once delivered?

As armchairs are made-to-order, they can't typically be returned unless defective or damaged during transit. We handcraft each piece specifically for you in the UK, which means they're built with care to your exact specifications. If your armchair arrives with a fault or damage, we're here to help put things right. For full details on our returns policy for made-to-order upholstery, please refer to our Terms & Conditions or get in touch with our team who'll be happy to talk through your options. All our armchairs come with our 15-year Frame Guarantee for added peace of mind.
