Recliner Sofas

Manual vs Electric Recliner Sofas

Our manual recliner sofas offer a traditional reclining function using a smooth lever mechanism, perfect for those who prefer simple functionality. For next-level relaxation, explore our electric recliner sofas, powered by discreet motors and often featuring USB ports. These models allow you to recline with the touch of a button.

Electric recliners are especially popular for their ease of use and modern features, while manual recliners are a budget-friendly choice with no need for a nearby power source.

Leather or Fabric Recliner Sofa?

Leather recliner sofas are a timeless choice, combining durability and elegance. Easy to clean and naturally hard-wearing, they’re ideal for busy households. Alternatively, opt for a fabric recliner sofa in soft woven upholstery or plush velvet for added comfort and style.

With a variety of finishes and colours available, from neutral tones to bold statement shades, you’ll find the perfect recliner sofa to complement your décor.

FAQs About Recliner Sofas

Are recliner sofas worth it?

Yes, recliner sofas are worth it if comfort is a priority. They offer adjustable backrests and footrests, making them ideal for relaxing, watching TV, or even taking a nap. Many modern recliners also include extra lumbar support and USB charging ports for added convenience. Recliner sofas are especially beneficial for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues, as they make it easier to sit down and stand up without strain.

What are the different recliner types - Manual vs Power recliner sofas?

A manual recliner sofa uses a lever or push-back mechanism to adjust the seating position, while an electric recliner (or power recliner) allows you to recline at the touch of a button. Electric models offer more precise control and are easier for people with limited mobility to use.

How much space do I need for a recliner sofa?

You’ll need extra room behind and in front of a reclining sofa to allow it to fully extend. As a guide, leave around 10–18 inches of clearance behind the sofa and ensure there's enough space for the footrest to open in front. If you choose a reclining corner sofa, this is the same, just more space is needed. We always advise to check each individual product's width and height space requirements.

What types of materials do your recliner sofas come in?

We offer different recliner sofa types, we have both premium leather sofas and high-quality fabric recliner sofa's. Each material offers a different look and feel, so you can choose the one that best suits your style and needs. One thing for sure is that both products offer luxury cushioning and sprung seats, whether they are made with leather upholstery or fabric, so they all equally as comfortable to sit on
