Chesterfield Sofas Australia

The cost of some chesterfield lounges would knock you over, but at Chesterfield Lounges you can choose from a wide selection of both high back and low back chesterfield sofas to suit your home or office. You've probably seen the classic chesterfield style in lawyers' offices or the club rooms of prestigious clubs throughout the world. Now you can own your own piece of classic luxury, at a fraction of the price you'd pay elsewhere.

Choosing Your Chesterfield Sofa Design

One of the biggest choices when buying a Chesterfield sofa is the design. A low back Chesterfield sofa can open up your space, while a high back Chesterfield sofa suits closing off a larger room. Chesterfield Lounges offers many different designs to fit your requirements, in either leather or fabric.

What Makes an "Original" Chesterfield?

Everyone loves the idea of an Original or Vintage Chesterfield — but what does that actually mean? In our view, a true original Chesterfield is one made by the artisans of centuries ago: frames joined with tongue-and-groove or dowel, top-grain leather with one hide deep-buttoned across the back. It's time-consuming and expensive by today's manufacturing standards.

Sourcing your Chesterfield from Chesterfield Lounges means you don't have to choose between authenticity and affordability. Our range includes:

• Handmade Chesterfield furniture
• Frames combining hardwood, plywood, and New Zealand pine
• Choice of sprung cushions, foam cushions, or feather/foam seat cushions
• Zig-zag/non-sag springs in the base for lasting support
• 100% Italian cow hide leather
• Thousands of leather and fabric choices

What Makes a Chesterfield Sofa Comfortable?

Chesterfields are known for their firm support through the lower back, encouraging good posture — paired with a sprung base for a supportive, "sit correctly" feel. You can choose your seat cushion type: fully sprung, foam, or feather-and-foam, so your new lounge can be as firm or soft as you like.

Prefer something softer than leather? Many customers choose a velvet upholstery for a gentler feel. If comfort is the priority, our high back range — including the Carolina and M2263 — is worth a look.

For the classic Chesterfield look with modern reclining comfort, the Yorkshire Recliner and Rwanda Recliner Suite are excellent options, along with the C9025 push-back recliner — it needs a little extra space behind it, but delivers the classic winged-armchair look with true recliner comfort.

Where Chesterfields Come From

A Classic Chesterfield Sofa such as the Winchester suits many settings — commonly found in boardrooms, law offices, and reception areas, but equally at home in a living room, which is where it originated. The Earl of Chesterfield reportedly requested a lounge that wouldn't crease his visitors' clothes — giving the style its name.

Chesterfield Sofa Design Details

The Chesterfield is known for deep-buttoned upholstery, rolled arms, and studded detail. Many of our models use a comfortable sprung seat with a zig-zag spring system; others are fully upholstered and buttoned for a firmer seat — ideal for an office setting or anyone who prefers a firmer feel.

Chesterfield Upholstery and Decor

Choose leather for a classic look, or a soft polyester-blend velvet for easy cleaning and a gentler texture — sourced primarily through Warwick Fabrics, our main fabric supplier. We can also upholster your Chesterfield in a fabric of your choosing, from velvet to floral patterns, leather to vinyl.

How Our Chesterfield Sofas Are Made

Our frames combine hardwood, plywood, and New Zealand pine for a supportive base. Sprung-cushion models use non-sag springs with pocket springs; buttoned-seat models use a plywood base with high-resilience foam.

Complete your look with a matching wing chair or a chesterfield foot stool from our range.
