Recliner Chairs

What is a recliner chair?

A recliner chair is a type of armchair that extends to transition the body to a reclined position, providing a footrest and offering exceptional comfort and support. With a simple push or pull mechanism, a recliner chair tilts back, allowing you to fully relax, elevate your legs, and relieve pressure on your back.

This offers great lumbar support, can help improve circulation and is a great way to relax. Due to their easy use and comfort, they are popular among elderly people with reduced mobility and for creating home cinema rooms.

What are the different types of recliner chairs?

Recliner chairs are available with two different types of mechanisms to control their movement. Choose from:

Electric recliner chairs

Electric recliners are powered electronically, reclining effortlessly at the push of a button, typically located within easy reach on the side of the chair. These chairs require minimal effort to operate and often come with convenient features like USB ports. Just keep in mind that they need to be plugged in, so make sure to place them near a socket.

Manual recliner chairs

Manual recliners operate with a simple lever or push-back mechanism, allowing you to adjust the reclining position with minimal effort. These chairs provide full control, letting you find the perfect angle for relaxation. Since they don’t require electricity, they can be placed anywhere in the room, offering great flexibility in positioning.

How to tell if a reclining chair will fit in your room

To measure your space for a recliner chair, check the height, depth, and width of the chair both when upright and fully reclined. Make sure to map these out in your chosen spot, allowing enough room for the chair to recline fully and leaving around 18-24 inches of space for easy movement. For a better visual, try using tape on the floor to help you picture how it will fit in your room.

What colour recliner chairs are available?

Our recliner chairs are available in classic black, brown, and grey. These versatile colours effortlessly complement a range of interiors and styles. A black recliner adds sophistication and elegance to any room, while a brown recliner suits rustic settings with its warm, sleek finish. If you're after a contemporary look, a grey reclining chair brings a fresh, modern touch to your home while providing the ultimate comfort.

What fabrics do reclining chairs come in?

Choose from faux leather recliner chairs, offering the same timeless and elegant look as a real leather recliner chair but more eco-friendly and affordable or faux leather suede recliner chairs for a softer feel to a modern classic. For a cosy and luxurious look, explore our range of chenille fabric recliner chairs, perfect for snuggling up with your feet up.
