From the Furniture Fair Showroom

David Grzebyk, Western Hills Store Manager at Furniture Fair
"Here's the thing about recliners, everybody picks one with their eyes first. But you gotta sit in it. Plop down, kick back, spend a few minutes. If it don't feel right the second you lean back, move on to the next one. This is the chair you're gonna live in every day, so it better feel like it was made for you."

David Grzebyk, Western Hills Store Manager, 25+ years experience

Why Choose a Recliner?

Today's recliners offer far more than a place to kick your feet up. Modern reclining chairs are engineered for personalized comfort, allowing you to adjust your seating position to reduce pressure on your back, legs, and neck while creating the perfect place to relax.

Many homeowners begin with a single recliner before adding a matching reclining sofa or reclining loveseat to complete their living room. Others choose recliners to create dedicated reading spaces, home theater seating, or quiet corners where they can comfortably unwind.

Whether you're looking for classic comfort or the latest power reclining technology, there's a recliner designed for the way you live. To learn more, read our guide on stationary vs. reclining furniture.

Shop Recliners by Style & Features

The best recliner isn't simply the one that looks good. It's the one that fits your daily routine.

Power & Manual Recliners

Manual recliners offer dependable comfort with a simple pull handle or push-back mechanism and don't require electricity. Power recliners adjust smoothly at the touch of a button, allowing you to find the perfect reclining position with minimal effort. Many power models also include adjustable headrests, lumbar support, and USB charging ports for added convenience. Learn more about manual vs. power reclining and the features and benefits of power recliners.

Leather & Fabric Recliners

Leather recliners are a favorite for homeowners looking for timeless style, durability, and easy maintenance. Fabric recliners provide exceptional softness, warmth, and a wide variety of colors and textures, making them a popular choice for casual living rooms and family spaces. For durable, easy-care options, explore our guide on performance fabric upholstery.

Swivel, Rocker & Wall-Hugger Recliners

Every room is different, which is why recliners are available with features designed for different lifestyles. Swivel recliners make it easy to turn toward conversations or the television, rocker recliners provide gentle motion that's perfect for relaxing, and wall-hugger recliners maximize comfort while requiring minimal space behind the chair.

Lift Chairs & Advanced Comfort Features

Lift chairs provide powered assistance that helps users safely transition from sitting to standing, making them an excellent solution for individuals with mobility challenges. Many premium recliners also include features like heat, massage, adjustable lumbar support, extended footrests, and zero-gravity reclining for an even more personalized seating experience.

How to Choose the Right Recliner

Choosing the right recliner starts with understanding how you'll use it every day. For help getting started, see our guide on how to measure your home for new furniture.

Think About Your Lifestyle

Do you spend evenings watching television? Need a comfortable reading chair? Looking for support after a long day on your feet? Identifying how you'll use your recliner helps narrow down the features that matter most.

Measure Your Space

Recliners require room to fully extend. Measure your available space carefully, paying attention to wall clearance and traffic flow. If space is limited, a wall-hugger recliner can provide full reclining comfort while sitting closer to the wall.

Prioritize the Features You'll Actually Use

Premium recliners are available with power reclining, adjustable headrests, lumbar support, USB charging ports, massage, heat, and zero-gravity positioning. Rather than paying for every available feature, focus on the ones that will improve your everyday comfort.

Choose the Right Upholstery

Leather offers lasting durability and easy care, while fabric provides softness and a broader range of colors and textures. The right upholstery depends on your décor, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences. For more guidance, read our guide on real leather vs. faux leather upholstery or explore the best performance fabrics for homes with pets.

Recliner vs. Reclining Sofa: Which Is Right for You?

Both offer exceptional comfort, but they solve different needs.

Choose a recliner if you:

  • Want personalized comfort in one dedicated seat.
  • Need flexible seating that can be moved around the room.
  • Are furnishing a reading nook, office, or bedroom.
  • Want premium features like swivel, rocker, lift, massage, or heat.

Choose a reclining sofa if:

  • Need seating for multiple people.
  • Are furnishing your primary living room.
  • Want coordinated reclining comfort for the whole family.

Many Furniture Fair customers combine recliners with reclining sofas or reclining loveseats to create comfortable seating arrangements that fit the entire family. For more tips, see our guide on whether a reclining sofa is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Recliners

Shop Smarter with Furniture Fair's Good, Better, Best Buying System
