Created as an informal yet elegant chair, the Zoe is essentially a '60s inspired beanbag that takes the shape of the user's body. This chair gets its ability from the hundreds of thousands of microbeads inside of the chair. That, combined with the ultra-soft padding and lack of a supporting frame makes the Zoe a great place to curl up after a long day. The chair costs upwards of $3,000 and is available in a variety of models -- one is even made for the outdoors.

Also known as the ultimate movie watching couch, the Moon Pit is a sectional that takes comfort to a whole new level. Comprised of eight seats and 10 sides, it can rearrange in multiple ways. At just over $11,000, this couch also comes with a reversible cover that allows you to switch up your couch's look as frequently as you'd like. While most of us don't have $11,000 to spend on a couch, you can search for easy DIY pit sectionals to find a cheaper way to make your own.
3. Cradle chair
A modern take on the classic rocking chair, the Cradle rocks gently back and forth, making it a perfect spot to take a quick nap. The handmade, 80-pound chair costs a total of $8,400. While the price may be steep, the chair is made from cold-bent marine plywood and locally sourced New Zealand wool. Or, you could just buy a Papasan chair from Bed Bath & Beyond for a fraction of the price.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia in 2011, this designer chair is made of recycled plastic and portioned cushions. Complete with a cushioned footstool, the Husk armchair is a relaxing place to put your feet up. While this chair costs well over $2,000, you can find similar designs for far less at popular department stores.
5. Nest chair
A modern take on the traditional futon, this convertible chair allows users to quickly go from sitting to laying in a few quick steps. Designed by the European company Karup, the Nest chair costs just over $200. Two of the Nest chairs put together will make a whole round bed, providing a new look at comfortable yet functional furniture trends.
Cocon -- also known as the sleeping bag chair -- combines the functionality of a chair with the warmth and comfort of a sleeping bag. Perfect for cold winter days, this chair will be there waiting for you to curl up and sleep after a stressful day at the office. The designer's goal was to simplify the act of cocooning ourselves in a blanket on the couch. Yet, at nearly $2,000, the alternative DIY sleeping bag chair is more enticing. Simply purchase a sleeping bag, place it on a chair or couch and cocoon yourself in.

Hanging egg chairs can be used indoors and outdoors.
Reach maximum comfort with this faux fur lounger. Filled with recycled polystyrene bead and a plush back and arm rests, this chair offers full support without being uncomfortable. While sitting in this $200 chair may be comfortable, petting the fur covering may put a stressful mind at ease.
