H&M Evening Sofa and recliner

[mcarey]

We plan to purchase the 1667 Evening Sofa in leather, but can't decide on a leather lounge chair that would complement the style of this sofa. If anyone has an opinion regarding comfort or suggestions for style we would greatly appreciate it! So far, this is our list of lounge chair choices. Thanks!

7082 Saunders Lounger
7059 Abbott Lounger
7061 Eddington Lounger
7039 Journey Lounger

Those are four pretty good picks. I don't really have a favorite among them but will give you some very general guides:

Bustle Backs will almost always be he most comfortable (# 7059 / # 7061)

# 7028 has the most style and sits 'cozy' in the back.

# 7039 Is very plush, but will show the most leather stretch over time in the back cushion.

Hope that helps some, Marianne!

Trying to imagine how the sits "cozy" will feel for the husband...Does it sit comfortably when not in the reclining position? Supportive? My interest is in the style, but I need to keep his comfort in mind since the recliner is what's keeping the husband interested in our family room redo.

What is the repair rate on H&M chairs with button tufting? I recall in past posts you had mentioned that H&M handsews the buttons. My only experience has been with past "lazyboy" recliners that lost their buttons, making we swear to never go that route again! Thanks-

Well, they sit differently from the pillow backs. Best way I can describe it is the # 7028 is like a big baseball glove and when you sit in it, and you become the baseball. It snuggles up moreso than it feels like laying on pillows. I happen to like that feel, but I like the pillowbacks, too. Sort of like having cake or pie. Either way, you get dessert.

Button repair rate from H&M is zero. As in never. Because they take the time to sew them on, not use a mechanical 'tagging' device to fasten them to the piece. It's the only right way to do button-tufting, and it takes a long time to do, and is expensive because its the highest skill job in the plant. If you popped a button on an H&M, you'd be my first customer ever to do so.
