Leather recliner chair size and fit
A leather recliner chair should let you sit back with your feet flat on the floor and your head resting on the headrest. Widths here run 29.9 to 50 inches and heights 39 to 44.5 inches, and listed seat heights sit near 19 inches.
A standard recliner needs room behind it for the back to tilt, often about a foot. Select wall hugger models move the seat forward as they recline, so they can sit closer to the wall.
Faux leather recliner or genuine leather
Most models here are a faux leather recliner in vegan leather, a synthetic that is soft to the touch, resists spills and wipes clean easily. It does not develop the patina of real hide and can wear at high-contact spots over many years of use.
Select models use genuine leather, including a top grain leather power recliner. Genuine leather breathes, softens with use and develops character over time, and it needs gentler care than vegan leather.
Leather reclining chair motion and features
A leather reclining chair here reclines either by power, with a button that stops the back and footrest at any position, or manually with a handle or by leaning back. Some models also swivel, rock or glide, and select models include a power lift base that helps you stand.
Some models add massage and heat, USB charging, cup holders or LED lights.
Leather recliner care and construction
A leather recliner lasts longer when it is kept out of direct sun and away from heat vents, which dry and fade the surface. Dust genuine leather with a soft dry cloth and use a cleaner made for leather, while vegan leather can be wiped with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soapy water.
Some models list solid wood parts in their construction, some use plywood or engineered wood panels, and some are built on a metal frame. Check each listing's construction line for details.
