Recliner chair sizes and wall clearance
A recliner chair needs room behind it to tilt and in front of it for the footrest. Widths here run 22.8 to 57.5 inches and depths 20.8 to 65 inches, from a kids recliner to oversized seats.
A standard recliner usually needs about a foot between its back and the wall, while wall hugger models move the seat forward as they recline and can sit a few inches away. Measure the fully reclined depth before choosing a spot.
Power recliners and lift chairs
Power recliners move the back and footrest with a button, so you can stop at any position, and some add USB charging. Manual recliners use a handle or a push back and need no outlet.
Some power models are lift chairs, which tilt the whole seat forward to help someone stand, and select models add massage and heat. Place a power recliner near an outlet and keep the cord clear of the mechanism.
Reclining chair styles: swivel, rocker and glider
A reclining chair can do more than lean back: swivel models turn to face the TV or the room, rocker recliners rock when upright, and glider models move with a smooth, level motion. Select models here offer each of these, and some are suited to a nursery.
Rocking and swivel bases need a little extra clearance on every side, so allow space from walls and side tables.
Leather recliner and fabric choices
A leather recliner here comes in genuine leather or vegan leather. Genuine leather softens with use, while vegan leather is a synthetic that wipes clean easily.
Fabric recliners include velvet, chenille and linen, and brown and gray are the most common colors. Construction varies by model; some list solid wood parts, plywood or engineered wood panels and a metal frame. Dust leather with a soft dry cloth and vacuum fabric with an upholstery attachment.
