Recliners aren't just about lounging in style. More than just a piece of furniture, recliners can be a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation.   These seats offer a haven where stress melts away and tranquility takes center stage.  With their plush cushioning, customizable positions, and ergonomic designs, recliners  beckon you to unwind providing a haven to rejuvenate both body and mind.

Recliner chairs and sofas come in all shapes and sizes, so you can find the perfect one to fit your needs and style. Let’s explore the different types of recliners and some helpful tips for choosing your perfect recliner. 

Types of Recliners 

• Manual recliners 

Manual recliners are your go-to comfy chairs with a lever for adjusting the back and footrest. They are a great choice for anyone who wants to adjust their seats manually in a comfortable position to relax in. They are perfect for relaxing after a long day, watching TV, or reading a book. These traditional recliners come in a variety of styles, so you can find one that fits your décor and needs.

Power recliners are a popular choice for those who want to recline their seats at the touch of a button. Unlike manual recliners, they are the type of recliners that adjust their seats electronically without having to manually adjust them with a lever. Power recliners usually come with a remote control, a footrest, and a headrest so you have all the control over your seating position.

• Wall-Hugger Recliners

Wall-hugger recliners are perfect for cozy corners or tighter spaces because they recline without the backrest moving. It has a forward-gliding mechanism that allows the recliner chair to glide forward instead of backward to save you space.

Identifying Your Lounging Style

Ask yourself this question: how do you like to relax? How do you picture yourself in your happy space at home? Is it fully laid back, semi-reclined, or somewhere in between? 

Think about your usual activities while lounging too—reading, watching shows, or taking power naps. And, of course, how often you plan to sink into your recliner sofa.

When choosing a recliner, it is important to consider your lounging style, the space you have available, and the materials you prefer. Additionally, consider these extra tips when choosing the right type of recliner sofa for you:

• If you like to sit up straight, you want recliner seats with a firm backrest. If you like to recline back, go for a recliner with a deep, comfortable seat and a reclining backrest. 
• For small living spaces, choose a space-saving recliner. If you have more space to work on, you can choose a larger recliner with more features.
• There are many different materials used to make recliners, including leather, fabric, and microfiber. Leather recliner chairs are durable and easy to clean, but they can be expensive. Fabric is more affordable than leather but requires cleaning and maintenance. Microfiber is a good compromise between leather and fabric because it is durable, easy to clean, and relatively affordable.
