reading chair

Cozy sitting spot

A reading chair is a comfortable chair designed or chosen for extended periods of reading.

The term suggests ample cushioning, good back support, and often wide arms suitable for resting a book or settling in at an angle: She curled up in her reading chair with a novel.

The phrase describes function rather than a specific furniture style.
