Dunelm's highly-rated Beatrice II Woven Stripe Snuggle Chair has been reduced by £120, now priced at £279.30 down from £399. The discount makes it a budget-friendly alternative to Next's Sadie Deep Relaxed Sit armchair, which retails at £875.
Design and Features
The Beatrice II chair features more curved arms, wooden legs, and foam and fibre filling that shoppers describe as 'very comfy'. Available in four striped colourways—black and white, olive green, pink, and blue—only the black and blue versions are currently on sale. The black and white design offers a timeless monochrome look that complements any colour scheme.
While billed as a 'snuggle chair', its generous size can accommodate two people. The chair has a deep seat and plush back cushion, ideal for curling up with a book. Piping in the dominant colour adds sophistication.
Comparison with Next's Sadie Armchair
Next's Sadie armchair features similar rounded arms and a deep seating area (overall dimensions: W106 x H93 x D105cm). It is available in a Bold Chenille Stripe design in Dark Pink for £875. Next's premium price is justified by its 'Relaxed Sit' cushions, developed with high-density foam pieces in channels wrapped in fibre, creating a plump, relaxed look.
For those preferring a different fabric, Dusk's Hampshire Armchair in Dusky Pink offers a matte velvet finish at £319.
Shopper Reviews
Dunelm's Beatrice II chair has a 4.8-star rating out of five. One customer said: 'Great chair, quick delivery. Very comfy and a good size!' Another commented: 'A beautiful chair, I got it to go with my new Beatrice II green velvet sofa, and they really compliment each other.' A third reviewer called it 'the comfiest love seat, great quality.'
One shopper noted the colour is bolder than photos suggest, recommending ordering a sample first. However, this did not deter them from keeping the chair.
