Scandinavian recliners offer a comfortable way to relax while you watch TV, read a book, or even take a nap. The thing is, making the decision on whether or not you want to buy a recliner is the easy part. Now that it’s time to choose which one you want, it’s only normal that you run into a few difficulties. While buying a recliner can be a simple as picking one and buying it, most prefer to put a bit of thought into their decision on something they’re going to use over the course of several years (and in some cases, decades).

In order to choose the perfect Scandinavian recliner for your home, you’ll need to consider several things. These are things like what material it’s made of, what type (traditional, push back, or rocking), how big it is, and additional features. To help you out, we’ve gathered up the best tips for picking out the best recliner for your needs.

What are the best upholstery materials for Scandinavian recliners?

Scandinavian recliners come in all types of materials. Cotton, microfiber, synthetic, and leather are the most common options, with leather being the most expensive.

A microfiber material is a great option if you’re into the suede look. Not to mention many microfiber recliners are liquid resistant - a big plus!
While leather is the most expensive, it’s very durable and offers a desirable look. It might not be the best option if you have small children that can potentially scratch the material.
If your budget allows, try to avoid vinyl materials. It’s worth waiting while you save up more money to avoid cracking on the recliner’s surface, which can really be an eyesore.

What types of recliners are there to choose from?

Recliners come in three main types: traditional, rocking, and push back. Wall saver recliners are relatively new but can save some space.

Traditional recliners can be used in two positions; sitting up or reclined. In order to activate the reclining feature, you have to either pull on a lever or press a button.
Rocking recliners have the ability to rock like a rocking chair. An alternative to a rocker is a glider which allows you to rock forward and back, rather than the traditional rocking chair movement.
Push back recliners don’t require the pull of a lever or push of a button to recline. Instead, the functionality is activated with your bodyweight. Keep in mind that these types tend to have a shorter life since the mechanism wears out easier.
Wall savers are great if you have a limited amount of space in your home. You can place these recliners as close as 6 inches to the wall.

What additional features to look for in Scandinavian recliners?

If you’re looking for the most extravagant of Scandinavian recliners, then make sure you get all of these additional features!

There are tons of stylish recliners out there at very affordable prices. When you’re finally relaxing in your recliner, your new problem might be when you’re finally going to get out of it!
