lounge chair


Explanation:
This is a low chair, often found in bedrooms, and I would call it a lounge chair.

See:

http://decoracion.facilisimo.com/foros/decoracion/salones/bu...

Un diseño de Jaime Bouzaglo para Capdell.
La silla lounge o descalzadora, unos centímetros más baja que la silla Elizabetha y con sus brazos curvos, proporciona una sensación de bienestar palpable. Se ha diseñado con ambos brazos iguales y también una opción especial de un solo brazo.

agree  Cristina Talavera: Sí. Son butacas adecuadas en dimensiones y diseño (+ bajas y pequeñas y sobre todo sin brazos) para eso, descalzarse o calzarse. Muy comunes, inc. USA y GB. Se usa igualmente el término bedroom armchair = butaca, aunque no lleve brazos.

bedroom bench


Explanation:
A descalzadora is less a chair and more a bench, as it generally lacks the back characteristic of a chair. Doing a basic image search comparing descalzadora and bedroom bench yields a great deal of similarity.
