Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede

Comfort Research Chillum Loveseat in Comfort Suede, Black OnyxFirst off, I should mention that I am rather bummed that Amazon has had so many price fluctuations with this product. When I purchased it, the cost was 129 and literally a day latter it dropped to 99.... however, that is not a factor in my review, just something I thought was worth mentioning to those who are considering a purchase.

As for the chair itself: The chair arrived in a box that was literally bursting at the seams. I examined around the box for instructions but nothing was included....after all, it's just a chair. When pulling the chair out, it resembled a giant cube and had a very distinct smell. As you will see in other Comfort Research reviews, these chairs definitely take some airing out before they will smell normal. It's not a revolting smell but it is certainly noticeable. As aforementioned, the chair arrived in a cube shape and I decided it would be best to open it up and break up the foam. This was not an easy task as the foam inside was very stuck together and pulling it apart resulted in a huge mess on my floor, even while being careful. It may have better to just let the chair sit there for a few days and expand on it's own but I'm not sure if the foam would have ever naturally broken apart.

Once the chair was all fluffed up, I quickly realized just how big and heavy this thing really is. The picture shows the back of the chair as being quite defined but it is tough to achieve that same look without some extra foam pushing. It was finally time to sit in it and all I have to say is wow! This thing is quite comfortable. It has quickly become my go to chair when watching movies or playing games.

The only downside to the chair now that it has been here for a few weeks is that I find myself having to fluff it up after each use to retain it's shape and comfort. Not a big deal, but the thing is heavy and it takes a small bit of grunt work to do.

I highly recommend this thing but be sure to give it a week before you form a real opinion on it!

Honestly, I really like this chair. I went off some other reviews and gave it some time to let the chair expand before forming my opinion. Actually a paper that came with the chair said 7-10 days before it is fully expanded. The first couple days it was not very comfortable. It was just ok. After about the 4th day I thought it was way more comfortable. Now after a week I think its great. It's not a bean bag chair and it's not a 400 dollar Fuf chair. As long as your expectations aren't through the roof you will be happy. I got mine on an Amazon Warehouse Deal and I am very happy with the purchase. Also, just to mention the size of it. It's a big chair. I am 6' 2" 230 and the chair is plenty big for me.

If you read other reviews of similar chairs from the same manufacturer, you will find that they are really misleading in the pix. To follow up on the previous review, they were kind.. Not only can you not get quite the same defined look as in the pix, but it really is impossible to sit on it like that. There is no real back and the foam (easy for me to break up without opening the chair, hence no mess) spreads out.. The pix also implies that there is a lot more foam in the chair than a normal bean bag type chair, but, well, not the case.. Just like the first review mentioned, you really need to regularly (i.e. EVERY time), fluff it up.. That said, although I was a tad disappointed (and if I could buy a chair that was more like a chair and not a huge bag of foam, I would have instead), the chair is very well made and the kids just LOVE LOVE LOVE it.. Probably not going to be much use for myself (i'm the Dad), but I am not unhappy with the purchase. Just like Mike Brady told Greg.. Caveat Emptor. Just know what you are getting. The price is the best i've seen online for this type of chair.. Enjoy!

The chair looks really nice and maintains its shape well. The fabric isn't really a microsuede like I thought it would be, it's more of a velvet like fabric. There is no liner, so you can only spot clean the fabric if it gets dirty. My chair also had plastic material inside and some hard bits of foam (from the top part of the foam where it is baked, it wasn't trimmed off). Overall, the chair is comfortable and looks nice, but would be a lot nicer with a liner and softer foam.

The chair was stuff into a box that was way too small. The chair was a cube. The chair is so flat now. Even with some fluffing, the chair not stuff as much as the chair in the picture. Completely misleading picture and description. Wish I could return the chair but I had to cut the box off the chair because it was packed so darn tight. Not worth the price. I will have to buy some stuffing to make this chair usable.

6/12 Update: Still not in love with this chair. It does fluff up thankfully. however, it releases some kind of "off-gas" smell. The room it's in smells like something is burning or like a hot pan with nothing in it. We realized the smell comes from the chair. We keep our two year old away from this room. I still feel the description is misleading. The chair offers so back support. The girl in the picture looks like she's sitting upright which near impossible. Still feel this is a bad purchase. Not enough support for adults and too dangerous of smells to risk allowing your kid to sit in it.
