Mecor Lounge Chair with Ottoman Review 2025

Do you suffer from chronic back pain? Millions do, and it can be agonizing. While you can take many different approaches to reduce your pain, one simple and effective thing you can do is upgrade your living room furniture. 

While ergonomic lounge chairs are only a small slice of the market, several great options are currently available, and the Mecor Lounger is one of these. It’s comparable in price to the Milano Lounge Chair offered by Artiva USA. Still, it has a very different aesthetic, so if Milano’s looks aren’t yours, this is a great alternative.

Of course, the Mecor lounge chair is a solid design in its own right, even minus the comparison with the Milano, and in the sections that follow, we’ll show you exactly why. If you’re looking for a value-priced ergonomic lounge chair, this one’s worth considering. Let’s take a closer look!

Key Features of the Mecor Ergonomic Lounge Chair

Like the chair offered by Flash Furniture, the Mecor chair could theoretically be used as a simple living room lounge chair or, if you find somewhere to put the included Ottoman, as an office chair. However, it is perhaps slightly less well-suited to that purpose than Flash Furniture’s offering.

The chair has a simple, elegant look that will fit in well with many (but not all) home décor schemes. The frame is sturdy die-cast, powder-coated aluminum with Palisander wood veneer accents. It’s upholstered with Italian leather, and while not overstuffed, it is generously padded and quite comfortable.

Specifications

The Mecor lounge chair measures 34.25” x 34.25” x 32.28”, and its accompanying Ottoman measures 25.59” x 21.26” x 17.32”. One potentially limiting factor is that it’s only offered in two colors (brown or black). It’s not much of a limitation, given how well those two colors blend in with a wide range of décor schemes, but it is worth mentioning.

Adjustability & Comfort

There are no extras other than the fact that both the chair and the Ottoman swivel on their respective bases and that the chair offers a simple but functional recline function. That’s not entirely unexpected, given the model’s modest price.

As we mentioned in the last section, the Mecor lounge chair is well-padded and reasonably comfortable. It’s not overstuffed, and it’s not a great chair for napping. However, it’s comfortable enough to enjoy a quiet evening at home, binge-watch Netflix, and the like.

Storage & Extras

Again, given that this is a value-priced model, it should be no surprise that no fun “extras” are available here. While some would see that as a negative, we view it as a natural consequence of the decision to keep the price of the chair as low as possible, and we can’t fault the company for that.

Some Assembly Required

As with most value-priced furniture, the Mecor Ergonomic Lounge Chair arrives in a big box and is unassembled at your house.  The assembly instructions leave a bit to be desired, but the chair doesn’t come in many pieces, so you should experience no special difficulty putting it together even with less-than-clear instructions.

Well, that’s not entirely true. Mecor’s quality control isn’t quite as good as Flash Furniture’s, and as such, some of the screw holes might not line up perfectly, but this is a minor challenge and easily overcome.

Ideally, you’ll want a helper to speed the process, but even if you don’t, it’ll take you less than an hour from initial unboxing to relaxing in it.

Pros & Cons of the Mecor Lounge Chair

While we like the look and feel of the Mecor chair, we understand that not everyone will agree. Given its distinctive appearance, that will probably have at least some bearing on your decision to purchase it.

In our view, its biggest selling point is its modest price tag. While it also occupies that “grey area” between an office chair and a living room lounger, it strays much closer to living room lounger territory than an office chair. As such, you’ll find that it blends into your existing home décor much more easily.

Having said that, Mecor is an off-brand. And while their post-sales support is good compared to some other off-brands, it’s a far cry from Serta, La-Z-Boy, or the other big names in the furniture world. It means if something’s missing from your box (it’s rare, but it happens), or if you encounter some other problem, it may be a bit of a process getting in touch with someone who can actually help you.

Also, if you’re looking for a model with many fun extras, this isn’t the chair you want. Save your money, and you’ll soon be able to afford a more robust option.

Mecor Lounge Chair Review Conclusion

While we like the Mecor lounge chair, we cannot recommend it to everyone. If you like the model’s aesthetic, are on a budget, and don’t mind a model that doesn’t offer extras, this one’s a good fit.

If the above describes you, you’ll be impressed. It’s well worth the money the company is asking for it.
