easy chair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somewhere to relax' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'hairy case involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'hairy'+'case'='hairycase'
'hairycase' with letters rearranged gives 'EASY-CHAIR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for easy chair that I've seen before include "It's not hard to sit in" , "Common room feature" , "ambitious professor avoids" , "Academic sinecure" , "It's comfortable to sit in - sounds like it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
