Short of laying in a bed - which obviously if you want a chair, you are looking to be sitting up-right and actually interacting with people, the bade cushion is fantastic.  The back is a perfect height, even for my 6'2" husband, the slope of the arms allowed the chair to not overwhelm a space, but still put a comfortable perch for arms - and the tufting and the fabric look high quality.  We easily placed a decorative pillow in each to help it blend even more.  Construction is solid - and even though the boxes arrived looking like they had been drop-kicked, the chairs inside were in perfect shape.  Love them!
