Choosing The Perfect Recliner

Everyone deserves the right to relax after a hard day’s work, and few things are as comforting as knowing the perfect recliner is waiting for you at home. There is a recliner designed for every size and shape person so that every individual can find the right one for them.

Here are some basic guidelines for choosing a recliner:

1) The first step is always to sit in it. Think of it like buying a pair of shoes: you wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes without trying them on, and the same is true for a recliner. Sit down, get comfortable, and see how it feels.

2) Once you’re sitting down, and comfortable, ask yourself the following questions: Does the recliner support the back of my head? Do my feet touch the floor? How deep is the seat: does it make me sit too far back or too straight? How do the arm rests feel? Are they too high or low? These questions can help you find the perfect chair.

3) Now that you found a chair that is comfortable to you, its time to recline. Keep in mind that for most people they will spend more time reclined in their chair than sitting up. Check to see if it reclines far enough for you, if the ottoman is long enough and if you are still comfortable reclined.

4) Think about the features you may want on your chair. Would you rather a chair that has a handle to recline or one that looks more like a regular chair? Do you want a stationary recliner, or one that rocks? The new glider recliners use a more natural movement to rock, and are very popular with new and expecting mothers. Would you like a swivel on the base of your recliner so you can turn to look at TV or talk to someone else in the room? All of these options and more are available.

The number one question I get asked about recliners is “Do they make any recliners that don’t look like a recliner?” The answer is “Absolutely!” Even though the overstuffed, traditional looking recliners are still popular, there are many more options. Today’s recliners are designed to be both comfortable, and to fit in with your individual style. From traditional Queen Anne wingbacks, to sleek and modern chairs, many of the recliners we offer look just like normal chairs, and if you didn’t know they could recline, you would never guess.

Also, custom orders in special fabrics are a snap! There is no reason your new recliner should not match your room, your style and your life perfectly.
