Best Cuddle Chair with Footstool UK 2026: 4 Sets Compared

The best cuddle chair with a footstool is the INMOZATA Swivel Cuddle Chair with Footstool, at about £170 when we checked. It's an 85cm-wide jumbo cord chair with a 360-degree swivel, a matching 68cm footstool, three cushions and a cup holder. If you'd rather spend less, the Marketero Bucket Chair with Ottoman is about £130, though at 67cm wide it's for sitting back, not curling up.

Buying the chair and footstool together means the fabric, colour and height all match. Bought separately, a footstool usually gets at least one of those wrong. We compared the cuddle chair and footstool sets on Amazon UK by width, footstool size, swivel and price. Four are worth buying.

Cuddle chair and footstool sets compared

Ratings are Amazon UK stars with review counts in brackets, as listed in October 2026. Only two of the four are true cuddle chairs, wide enough to curl up in: the INMOZATA and the DEKKETO. The Marketero and Vesgantti are comfortable armchairs with stools, so pick them for sitting back with your feet up.

For chairs without a footstool, see the best cuddle chairs guide. The swivel cuddle chair guide explains the different swivel bases.

1. INMOZATA Swivel Cuddle Chair with Footstool: Best Overall Set

Best for: anyone who wants a wide swivel chair, a matching footstool and cushions in one box Avoid if: your room can't spare about 85 x 130cm of floor

This set is the reason the page exists. For about £170 (it was £199.99 for most of September) you get a 1.5-seater swivel chair, a matching footstool, three cushions and a cup holder built into the arm. Most cuddle chairs on Amazon cost about this much without a footstool.

The chair is 85cm wide, enough to sit sideways with your legs tucked up. It's jumbo cord, the thick ridged corduroy you see on DFS and Sofology sofas, and the footstool is in the same fabric and colour, so the pair look like a showroom set. The footstool measures 68 x 33cm and is about 38cm high, close to the chair's seat height, so your legs stay level rather than hanging.

The swivel turns a full 360 degrees on a metal base over a reinforced wooden frame, and INMOZATA rates the chair to 150kg. One thing to know with any swivel set: the footstool doesn't turn with the chair. Put it where your feet land when you face the TV.

The weak spot is the track record. INMOZATA has only been around since 2022, and this set had just 6 Amazon UK reviews averaging 3.7 stars when we checked, too few to say much either way. Jumbo cord also collects pet hair.

Pros:

• Chair, footstool, three cushions and a cup holder for under £200
• 85cm wide: room to curl up
• Footstool height matches the seat
• 150kg rating on a metal swivel base

Cons:

• Only 6 Amazon reviews so far (3.7 stars)
• Young brand with no long-term track record
• Cord fabric picks up pet hair
• Needs a good stretch of floor with the footstool out

2. Marketero Bucket Arm Chair with Ottoman: Best Budget Set

Best for: bedrooms, small living rooms and reading corners Avoid if: you want to curl up sideways or need a swivel

The Marketero is the cheapest proper set here at about £130, and it's the one for small rooms. The chair is 67cm wide, 63.5cm deep and 73cm high, a mid-century bucket shape on solid wood legs, with a matching ottoman.

The listing calls it a cuddle chair, but at 67cm it's really a tub chair. You'll sit back in it with your feet up, not tuck your legs in beside you. In a bedroom or a box room, where a full 85cm cuddle chair would take over, that's fine.

The upholstery is a textured linen fabric over high-density foam, and Marketero says it resists pet hair, which cord and velvet don't. Assembly is just screwing in the legs by hand, no tools. It has 4.4 stars from 122 reviews, and a white fluffy version is listed too. No weight limit is listed.

Pros:

• Cheapest complete set
• Fits small rooms
• Linen fabric copes better with pet hair
• Tool-free assembly

Cons:

• 67cm wide: not a curl-up chair
• No swivel
• No weight rating on the listing

3. Vesgantti Velvet Wingback Armchair with Stool: Best Rated Set

Best for: a reading chair with your feet up Avoid if: you want a swivel or a modern rounded shape

With 4.7 stars from 403 reviews (shared across its colour options), the Vesgantti has the best review record of any chair-and-footstool set we found on Amazon UK. It's a velvet wingback, 74cm wide and 89cm tall, with a matching velvet stool and a lumbar pillow, for about £175.

The seat is the reason for the ratings. It's pocket-sprung with high-density foam on top, like a decent sofa cushion, rather than foam alone. The high wings support your head when you lean back to read. The stool also works as a dressing-table seat.

It isn't a cuddle chair in the curl-up sense: at 74cm it's a generous armchair. Velvet shows fingerprints and pet hair. The chair weighs 27kg, and assembly means screwing on the legs (the parts are zipped inside the seat). It comes in cream, grey, blue, green and orange velvet, plus teddy fabric versions for a few pounds less.

Pros:

• 4.7 stars from 400+ reviews
• Pocket-sprung seat
• High back with head support
• Lots of colours

Cons:

• 74cm wide: an armchair, not a curl-up chair
• Velvet marks easily
• No swivel

4. DEKKETO Chenille Swivel Cuddle Chair with Storage Footstool: Best Premium Set

Best for: big living rooms and anyone who wants storage in the footstool Avoid if: your budget is under £300

The DEKKETO costs about £470, up from £399.99 in the spring, nearly as much as the other three sets put together. You get a chenille swivel tub chair with a wraparound U-shaped back, 16cm-thick foam cushions, four pillows, and a footstool with a lift-off lid and storage inside for blankets or remotes.

It's the most enclosed seat here, and the storage footstool is the only one in this guide. But the 110kg limit is the lowest of the swivel chairs, chenille can pill on the seat and arms, and at this price you're competing with high-street cuddle chairs you can sit in first. Dunelm's range mostly sits around £400.

Pros:

• Storage footstool
• Wraparound swivel seat
• Four pillows and thick cushions

Cons:

• About £470
• 110kg limit
• Bulky: assemble it in the room

How to choose a cuddle chair and footstool set

Width: curl up or sit back?

This decides which half of this list you want. At 85cm or more, as with the INMOZATA, you can curl up sideways in the chair. Under about 75cm (the Marketero and Vesgantti), you sit facing forward with your feet on the stool. Both are comfortable, but they're different things. Our cuddle chair dimensions guide covers room space and doorways.

Footstool height

Aim for a footstool roughly level with the chair seat, or a little lower: 35 to 45cm for most cuddle chairs. Your legs should rest level, with your knees no higher than your hips. Sets get this right because the two pieces are designed together; with a separate footstool, take a tape measure.

Swivel with a footstool

A swivel and a footstool pull in different directions: the chair turns, the footstool doesn't. That's fine if you mostly face one way and swivel occasionally. If you turn often, a footstool on castors or a light pouffe is easier to move.

Fabric

Jumbo cord is the hardest-wearing. Linen weaves cope best with pet hair. Velvet looks the best and shows the most. Chenille is soft but can pill. A velvet chair is the hardest to match with a footstool bought later, so if you want velvet, buy it as a set. The velvet cuddle chair guide covers it in more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a cuddle chair with a footstool worth it?

Usually, yes. A separate footstool costs roughly £25 to £60 on Amazon UK, and it rarely matches the chair's fabric, colour and height. A set gets all three right. The INMOZATA set costs about £170 with the footstool included, which is less than many cuddle chairs sold on their own.

Which cuddle chairs with a footstool swivel?

Of the sets in this guide, the INMOZATA (about £170) and the DEKKETO (about £470) both have a 360-degree swivel base. The Marketero and Vesgantti sets are fixed armchairs on wooden legs. On a swivel set, the footstool stays put while the chair turns, so place it where your feet land when you face the TV.

What height should a footstool be for a cuddle chair?

Roughly level with the chair seat or slightly lower, which for most cuddle chairs means a footstool 35 to 45cm high. Too low and your legs hang; too high and your knees push up towards your chest. The INMOZATA footstool is listed at about 38cm high.

How much space does a cuddle chair and footstool need?

Allow for the chair's depth plus the footstool's depth plus a small gap for your legs. The INMOZATA chair is about 85cm square and its footstool is 68 x 33cm, so the set needs about 85cm wide by 130cm deep when in use. A fixed set like the Marketero (67cm wide) fits a smaller space.

Can I add a footstool to a cuddle chair later?

Yes. Padded footstools and storage ottomans cost about £25 to £60 on Amazon UK. With cord or woven fabrics, pick a complementary neutral rather than chasing an exact match: a deliberate contrast looks better than a near-miss. Velvet is the hardest to match afterwards, so buy a set if you want velvet.

The verdict

Get the INMOZATA Swivel Cuddle Chair with Footstool if you want a real curl-up chair with a matching footstool for under £200. For a small room, the Marketero Bucket Chair with Ottoman costs about £40 less. If you want the safest bet on reviews and mostly sit to read, choose the Vesgantti Velvet Wingback with Stool.
