How to Choose the Best Reclining Chair for You

We believe that feel good furniture is furniture that is good for your wellbeing - which is exactly why we love our reclining chairs so much. Beneficial for both your mental and physical health, our recliners help to relieve aching muscles and stiff joints by promoting good circulation. They help to alleviate stress by offering the utmost comfort and support, by making sure that your spine is rested, your back is supported, and your legs are elevated. Offering excellent lumbar support, they have the ability to reduce back pain with regular use. Perfect for those that may need assistance getting into and out of chairs, they allow you to do so with ease using just the touch of a button.  

Whichever style you choose, we recognise that everyone has their own unique style, and we believe that no one should have to compromise when it comes to comfort and style. For this reason, we have a range of designs and fabrics available – so that you can choose the option that best suits you and your home.

This is an important question, as not only should your recliner fit you but also the space you have in your home. We suggest that you measure both the room and recliner dimensions to enable you to visualise how much space you will have and where you could position your new luxury recliner chair. It’s worth noting that your recliner chair needs to be far enough away from the wall for the reclining action. Not to worry though, our comfort specialists will be there to help you every step of the way. You can either pop into one of our showrooms or book a home visit, so that we can aid you with our friendly and expert advice. We enjoy making sure that each and every one of our customers feel supported in their decision making, and we’ll always go the extra mile to provide a feel-good experience. As that’s what feel-good furniture is all about.  

Now this is totally up to you. We believe that feel good furniture should also look good too, and no one should have to compromise on style or comfort. Everyone’s got their own style preferences, which is why we offer a variety of choices to cater for each customer. Whether you want a boldly patterned fabric recliner or a leather recliner chair – the choice is yours. Think about whether you want your recliner to match your current furniture or if you want it to stand out and contrast your current aesthetic as an accent piece. Our customers are even able to personalise details such as button-back detailing, leg type and colour. We are continually refreshing our collections and fabrics to ensure that they are up to date, as we know how important it is to find furniture that suits you and your style.
