Recliners create a space for me-time at home. Put your feet up on the built-in footstool and lay back and relax on the adjustable backrest. Reclining chairs fit perfectly in most rooms in your home so you can enjoy sitting, reading, playing games or napping at your leisure.
Have the perfect nap spot anywhere in the house with a recliner
Reclining chairs create a comfortable place to unwind wherever you need it. They’re just as at home in living rooms as they are in sunrooms and bedrooms.
In a nursery, a rocking recliner adds comfort to late-night feedings and bedtime stories. In a bedroom, a relaxation chair can become your favorite place for reading “just one more chapter.” And in a sunroom, a reclining chair is a welcome spot to sip your morning coffee or take a well-earned afternoon nap.
With a built-in footrest and adjustable backrest, recliners invite you to sit and stay awhile. Before long, they often become everyone’s favorite seat in the house – the one you sink into for a quick break that somehow turns into thirty minutes.
What materials are best for reclining chairs?
The best material for a recliner depends on your style, space and how you use it.
- Fabric reclining chairs add softness and texture to a room, making them a natural choice for cozy living rooms, reading nooks and bedrooms. A quick pass with a vacuum or a damp cloth keeps them looking their best through everyday life with kids, pets and the occasional movie marathon snack.
- Leather recliners offer a tailored look and an easy-to-clean surface that fits well in busy households. Their timeless appearance works with a range of decorating styles, from classic and traditional to clean and modern.
Whatever look and feel you prefer, the right reclining chair should fit your lifestyle and make it easier to enjoy the moments when you can finally put your feet up.
Rocker recliners vs. swivel recliners: how to choose
When shopping for recliners, it's important to consider the full functionality of the chair to ensure it meets your needs:
- Rocking recliners: Want a rocking chair and a recliner? You can have both! A rocker recliner allows you to gently rock back and forth when the chair is upright in a non-reclined position. These are an especially popular pick for nurseries.
- Swivel recliners: Similar to other swivel chairs, a swivel recliner typically allows you to easily swivel your chair to face any direction in the room. These are a popular choice if the natural light in the room shifts throughout the day, or you simply want to be able to turn the chair toward or away from the TV stand with ease. Many swivel recliners are also rocker recliners.
