Buying Guide

Buying new furniture is never an easy process because there are so many things you will need to take into consideration. Do I have enough space? Will it match the current décor in my home? How much can I afford to spend? And a host of other questions. When looking for a Berkline recliner knowing where to start can be challenging, with that being said, here is a buyer's guide to get you on the right track.

How to select the right size recliner?

There is no one size fits all when it comes to Berkline recliners, there are different widths, heights, and depths and you will need to choose the one that fits you best. You will also need to consider who is going to use the recliner, will it be you alone or other people in your household. If so, their size is also something you will need to consider. It’s also important that there is enough space in the room where you will put your recliner, so make sure that you measure the area. If you plan on doing a lot of moving around, you might also want to consider the weight of the chair, because some models are heavier than others.

What are the basic types of reclining mechanisms?

Recliners are either electric, which involves you pushing a button, and the chair automatically moves backward or forwards, or manual, meaning there is a leaver at the side of the chair giving you full control.

What additional features to look for in Berkline recliners?

When you have found the chair that you think will be best for you, add to your comfort level by considering the following options:

The anti-crush feature prevents accidents when children or pets end up underneath the mechanism.
While you recline, would you prefer the seat and the back to stay in a fixed position? This prevents the chair from rubbing against your skin.
How many hours per day will you spend in your seat? If you are going to spend several hours reclining and sleeping in your chair, you might want to consider purchasing a cascading cushion; it eliminates pressure points by spreading body weight.
Would you prefer the leg rest to rise at the same time as you recline automatically? Or is this something you would like to control yourself.
Consider what you are going to need and what you won’t. Some recliners come with heaters, massagers, built in phones and much more. It’s important to keep in mind that there are some features that you won’t need.

Take away

Before parting with your hard-earned cash, make sure you have done your research and taken all the points mentioned into consideration. This will ensure that the buying process is smooth sailing, and everyone is happy!
