I Can’t Stop Thinking About This Gorgeous, Cozy Reading Chair (It Looks Like a Cloud Couch!)

As summer draws to a close and fall approaches, many people are starting to curate a fall capsule wardrobe and trade in their cooling sheets for a warm and toasty down comforter. I, however, have a different pre-fall agenda: I am hard at work perfecting my annual fall reading list while daydreaming about the most gorgeous reading chair I have ever seen. 

Sure, the Neva Round Daybed from Sixpenny was designed to serve as a daybed, but I can’t stop thinking about how dreamy it would feel to curl up on its plush seat and disappear in a good book. It’s delightfully oversized and oh-so-fluffy, like a magical island of coziness right in your home. 

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the Neva Round Daybed since the moment I came across it on TikTok. Though I’d been a longtime fan of Sixpenny (I have the Amelia Chaise Sectional in my living room), I didn’t know the brand made such a playful, whimsical, reading-ready chair until I saw one TikTok creator setting it up in her room.

What I love about the Neva Rounded Daybed — and everything from Sixpenny, for that matter — is that every piece is made to order, so you can choose from a feather down fill or vegan polyfill and one of more than two dozen material options. In addition to standard fare like cotton linen, velvet, and cotton canvas, the chair is available in three neutral shades of recycled faux fur. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of sitting atop a giant teddy bear while you read, now is your chance.

My other favorite thing about this chair is that it’s entirely slipcovered, so it’s easy to clean. You can even order a stand-alone set of slipcovers if your old ones get torn, get stained beyond repair, or if you simply change your mind and want a new color or fabric. It’s a safe bet that I will continue to fantasize about owning one of these magnificently plush chairs until I finally decide on a color and where to put it in my home. 

If you, too, are ready to hop on the reading nook trend but you’re concerned about the price tag, don’t worry — there are plenty of more affordable cozy reading chairs that will make you want to grab a soft blanket and a good book ASAP. 

Albany Park’s made-to-order pieces are super cozy and plush (I have the Lido sofa in my office), and this swivel armchair is perfect for getting cozy with a novel and a cup of tea. It comes in five different fabrics including velvet and bouclé, so it can also double as a statement piece.

This oversized accent chair comes in two incredibly fluffy upholstery options and is the ideal setting for a rainy-day reading session. It’s nearly the same size as the Sixpenny chair, so it could even double as a daybed.

If you live in a smaller space, like a dorm room or cozy apartment, this swivel recliner can still make all of your reading chair dreams come true. It rocks, reclines, and swivels, giving you carte blanche to read, game, or just relax with friends.
