All the Details on Recliner Sofas

Recliner sofas offer a comfortable option and allow you to stretch out without taking up the whole sofa. Perfect for watching television and your favourite films in the comfort of home, recliners are a luxurious built in option that some find absolutely essential.

How Does It Work?
With a recliner sofa one or both ends of the seat will have the ability to recline – the area below the seat raises forward and the back of the seat tilts backward, creating a more level spot to stretch out and lounge in.

Some models have a lever or button which causes a special frame to slide, moving the position of both the back and the bottom. Others work with pressure. When you push on the back section, the seat slides forward and the front elevates. Springs help the recliner portion of the sofa to move back into place naturally when the tension from leaning back is taken away.

Special Design Options

The very best reclining sofas have double recliners or one on each end. That way two people can relax on the same sofa without fighting over the privilege of using the reclining action.
Leading models may also have electronic recliner action. These power recliners offer touch button comfort that’s reliable and the ultimate in luxury. Some double reclining models offer extra wide seating, basically splitting the sofa down the middle creating two recliners. Corner sofas also come with reclining options that fit into either end of the sofa (or both). Making a versatile sofa style even better, recliners add more value to a corner sofa.

Another popular and convenient feature is sometimes termed “wall hugging.” This is a recliner sofa design that allows the furniture piece to be placed against the wall and still utilize the reclining feature. You’ll save valuable space without sacrificing your favourite recliner.

Fabric Choices

Reclining sofas come in a wide variety of fabric choices. Leather is a popular option and presents a contemporary piece of furniture for modern homes. Although black is the leading choice, leather can be purchased in different colours such as chocolate brown, neutral taupe and distinguished gray. Upholstery is also available in many different patterns and colours.

Recliner sofas are designed with a tightly fitted back instead of loose pillows. The bottoms are often close to the ground and don’t need skirting. Rolled, padded arms are generally included in the design as well, creating even more soft comfort in a sofa. Always popular and in high demand, reclining sofas are the ultimate in comfort and offer luxurious seating for two.
