Recliners

About Recliners

Recliners are popular furniture pieces that take “sitting back and relaxing” to a new level. While not completely flat like day beds, they offer extra opportunities for guests to lie back and even take a nap. Move the chair in different directions while it remains stationary on the ground with a swivel and at an angle of your choosing. 

The recliner couch can fit more people than the chair and come with ottomans and pouffes for increased comfort. 

Advantages of Recliners

Recliners bring comfort, style, and value to any room. However, each recliner offers unique advantages depending on its type, style, and features. 

Types of Recliner Chairs

There are many types available based on the room and the number of people for seating. The recliner chair is best suited for individual relaxation, while the 2 seater recliner encourages company for activities like watching a movie. Invest in a chaise lounge, and you'll have enough room for a fun-filled movie night with friends.

Fabric Options

Fabric options will influence how easy it is to clean and how durable the new sofas and lounge suites will be. 

Cotton 

Cotton is common for the rocking recliner because it is the most breathable material. Cotton resists pilling and is long-lasting because of its abrasion resistance, which is good for homes with children and pets. 

Synthetic 

Synthetic is more durable than natural materials, so it is also recommended for households with children and pets. The fabric also resists stains and looks just as elegant as other fabrics for half the price.

Microfiber 

The Microfiber recliner couch is stain-resistant, affordable, and soft to the touch. Sitting on a microfiber rocking recliner will guarantee a long day of comfort. 

Leather

A leather reclining chair is the most durable material and offers the sleekest look to the room. Although they can be more prone to scratching, they're easy to clean, and leather electric recliners are the most comfortable. 

Design, Style, and Color

The design, style, and colour options available will depend on the room's aesthetics and other pieces. For example, recliner chairs fit into living rooms well because they're designed to increase space for relaxing. They also pair well with Chaise lounges and benches. 

Things to Consider

There are several factors to consider when picking out a new recliner chair for the home.

Room Size

The size of the room and the chair or sofa should be measured before purchase. The recliner should be measured while it's all the way flat for the true measurement. About 1-3 feet of space from the wall will be needed. 

Body Size

Sitting in the chair is the best way to figure out if it is appropriate for the body size of whoever plans to use it. Feet should comfortably touch the floor while sitting with the head comfortably resting on the headrest. The gap between the seat and the leg rest should be 5 inches or less for the safety of children and pets. 

Construction

The construction of the sofa includes:

• Heavy screws

• Quiet motors

• Lever and handle access

Like sofas & armchairs, these construction features will determine how suitable the sofa is for the home and how easy instal will be. 

Style

It's important to consider whether the new furniture pieces are being incorporated into an existing style or if the setup is more causal. The overall style of the room will affect the experience of comfort while relaxing. 

Care and Maintenance 

The care and maintenance needs of each type will depend on the material and its features. Recliners are made similarly to sofas and couches, so they should last anywhere between 7-15 years depending on usage and regular maintenance according to the fabric type.
