With the holidays coming up, many of us are planning on hosting Thanksgiving dinner or maybe just a small get together with friends.

One thing that can make or break a great dinner (apart from the food itself) is how comfortable your guests’ chairs are. While using your decade-old furniture is all well and good, chances are your guests won’t feel particularly comfortable and, worse yet, might leave before the main course arrives.

Norwegian furniture brand Stressless can help ease these worries with its innovative designs, and it has the data to prove it. Stressless surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults and found that 76% of respondents said sitting in comfort is important, while another 46% said the ergonomics of their chair is important. For a meal that runs upwards of two hours, these survey stats make sense.

The Stressless Bay Low Back offers discreet flexibility in the back and seat for a more comfortable extended dinner. The chair automatically adjusts the seat and back position to recline effortlessly, according to the brand, helping reduce leg pressure and fatigue. Better yet, you won’t have to worry as much about standing up hours later with an aching pain in your lower back.

There are also options available both with and without armrests, depending on your design and comfort preferences. Everything from the seat color to the leg color can be customized, as well as the design of the chair’s legs.

With the holidays approaching, now is a good time to give your dining room a little upgrade. Stressless is offering $200 off each dining chair through Oct. 26, giving you a chance to refresh your seating before the guests arrive. After all, a great holiday dinner shouldn’t end early because everyone’s uncomfortable.
