Over the weekend, I fell asleep in an armchair. There is really no good position when you’re constrained to a chair. Eventually I settled on a fetal position across the chair, using one arm as a pillow and the other as support for my feet.

I think an excellently-designed armchair should include this use case. In other words, I’d design an armchair so that its oblique cross-section makes for a comfy bed.
