As we approach cooler fall and winter weather, you’ll probably be spending more time indoors. What could be better than relaxing and snuggling up in a cozy recliner chair? These days, recliners come in a greater range of styles and have a larger variety of features than ever before.
But which style is right for your home?
1. Rocker Recliner Chair.
Ready to relax? Rocker Recliner Chair are traditional favorites because of their relaxing back-and-forth motion when not reclined. Nursing mothers and parents of young children favor rocking recliners because they offer an easy way to soothe children to sleep. Rocker recliners typically come with traditional handles for reclining.
2. Power Recliner.
Want to recline with ease? Power recliners ditch the traditional recliner handle for power buttons that allow users to recline to the perfect angle electrically. If you’d like greater control over the recline angle or want to avoid having to close the footrest with your feet to get up, a power-controlled recliner is perfect for you. And if you’re worried about the cords showing, just cover them up with a sleek TV stand or end table.
3. Push Back Recliner.
Searching for a stylish, comfortable chair? Push Back Recliners are the latest trend because they allow users to recline effortlessly without a lever or button. To recline, occupants need only lean back and apply slight pressure on the back of the chair. They look like classic armchairs when not reclined and are easy to style into any home.
4. High Leg Recliner.
Looking for a sleek recliner for your home? High-leg recliners are some of the most elegant recliner options, coming in a wide variety of styles that will fit any home. More often than not, high-leg recliners come with the press-back recline mechanism, without a visible handle or button.
5. Wall Hugger Recliner.
Have a small living space? Some recliners take up a large amount of space. Because they sit straighter, wall-hugger recliners can be pushed up against the wall when not in use, providing recliner-lovers a good space-saving option. If you have a small living space, a wall-hugger recliner may be the way to go.
6. Swivel Recliner.
Prefer a greater range of motion? With circular bases, swivel chairs give users full range of motion. When not reclined, occupants can swivel these recliners left to right. In many instances, swivel chairs will spin an entire 360 degrees, making them perfect for a cozy home office.
7. Power Lift Recliner.
Do you struggle getting in and out of deep-seated chairs? These special power chairs have a mechanism that lifts the seat of the chair up from a seated position to a nearly upright position, helping users transition between sitting and standing more easily. Many doctors recommend lift recliners for the elderly or other people with weak knees, hips or legs.
