The Dunelm Beatrice chair has a history going back to summer, 2024, when, according to Ideal Home, it 'sold out in a matter of hours' and describes the item as Dunelm's 'cult snuggle chair'. The Beatrice range has also been extended to include a wider, more dominant stripe than the Folkstone version, see it here, that comes in stripes of coral, mushroom, black and olive.
The Beatrice snuggle chair is a Dunelm exclusive, designed and developed by the company but there are alternatives out there, including the Hampshire Love Seat in green or natural from Dusk, currently dropped in price from £599 to £349 plus the Westley by Laura Ashley available from Next in a large choice of colours and a variety of patterns priced £1,000.
Comes in three colourways but the blue stripe is currently reduced - the other options are olive or mulberry that are full priced

But many Dunelm customers are sticking with the Beatrice and the reviews reveal why, with one buyer saying, 'This chair is gorgeous. Really high-quality' and another adding, 'Beautiful chair, it is perfect for the space. It is very comfortable and can seat 1 or 2 people. It looks expensive; the material is very thick and good quality'.
One buyer states the chair is easy to put together - screwing on the legs - and that they are impressed overall, saying, 'Looks amazing and very easy to put together. Comfy enough to curl up on with a good book'. However, one customer is unhappy that the company didn't offer a matching footstool and so gave the product a one star rating score.

For some customers the chair looked like an expensive alternative but at a more budget friendly level, with one unable to contain their joy, saying, 'I adore the chair. It's more like a small two seater couch and fits the space allotted like a glove. Can't believe the price. It looks like I spent several hundreds more than I did. I am soooooo, soooosooooo happy right now!!'.
The Beatrice Folkstone Stripe Snuggle Chair measurements are 89cm high, 117cm wide and 90cm deep with an arm Height of 61cm. The item's frame is made from plywood, the legs are rubberwood, and the fabric is 60% cotton and 40% polyester, with 'foam and fibre filled cushions 'for a comfortable experience'.

However, not every customer agrees with Dunelm's description on comfort, with one commenting, 'Not as comfortable as it looks - quite hard and material feel a bit on the tough side' but another expressing that, 'it is nice and comfy after a week or so. The only annoying thing is I find I have to plump the back cushion daily'.
