For a small living room, the Givjoy and YOTATING are 28.5 in wide, while the LINSY takes the most floor at 31.7 in. Plan for the chair depth plus 24 in of walkway, which for the 25.5 in deep Givjoy means about 49.5 in from the wall. The listings give different weight limits: 250 lb for the Givjoy, 300 lb for the LINSY and 400 lb for the YOTATING, and the MAXYOYO states none. All four picks are fabric or velvet, and we have not tested any of them. Compare more sets in our chair and ottoman sets guide.
Why the footprint matters more than the style
A lazy chair with an ottoman takes two spaces: the chair along the wall and the footrest in front of it. The chair sets the width, and the footrest needs floor in front. Our own estimate is 24 in of walkway beyond the footrest. As a rough guide, a 25.5 in deep chair needs about 49.5 in from the wall to the walkway edge (25.5 + 24), before the footrest’s own extension, which the listings do not always give.
Check the back and arms as well. The Givjoy lists an open back and the YOTATING a pillow back, and both list straight legs. The LINSY is a barrel shape with rounded arms, so its footprint is round rather than square.

- Cons: it is as tall as the Givjoy at 37.4 in, and the lumbar support claim comes from the seller’s bullet, not from any test.

Who should skip these chairs
- Skip all four if you need leather. Every pick here is fabric or velvet.

Buying checklist
- Floor: chair depth plus 24 in of walkway (our own estimate), plus the footrest’s extension
- Weight limit: check it against the heaviest person who will sit in the chair
- Included items: confirm the footrest or ottoman is in the set
- Dimensions: where a listing gives two sets, confirm them on the product page
