Your standard recliner is already a very awesome and comfortable chair. However, if you want the ultimate option in comfort and luxury, then you have no other choice than the big man recliner. This specially designed recliner is packed with comfort features and it comes with a grand size that will surely catch the attention of anyone visiting your home.
Keep in mind that big man recliners are typically costlier than your standard version. You'd want to shop carefully; otherwise, you could end up with a very expensive mistake. To help you with that, this article is going to be a buying guide for big man recliners.
These days, there are plenty of variations when it comes to the big man recliners. However, the most popular ones include two-position, rocker, and push-back.
As the names suggest, the two-position recliner comes with two fixed positions that you can switch back and forth. Typically, it comes with a lever to release the footrest. Keep in mind that this kind of recliner "leans back." Thus, make sure you have plenty of enough room to accommodate its leaning position.
The rocker recliner is different as it does not consume space at the back when it leans. Hence, it's an excellent choice if you have limited space. Also, this variety allows for more options in terms of leaning angles.
The push-back is a kind of recliner that you need to push back to recline. Typically, only the backrest leans, and the rest of the chair does not move. So if you want to be really comfortable with this chair, you might want to pair it with an ottoman. The advantage of this type is that it’s usually stylish, making it an excellent option if your priority is the aesthetic appeal.
When it comes to finding the right size, it's best that you avoid "winging" it. These bad boys are typically bulky and heavy, which means returning it in case of a mistake can be a real headache.
You can start by visualizing where you want to place the big man recliner. Then, make sure the allocated area does not block the natural foot traffic. Also, make sure you have ample space at the rear area if the recliner of your choosing consumes space when leaning back. After you have a good idea of the visualized area size, measure it. When shopping, make sure the dimensions of the big man recliners fits into your allotted space.
Big man recliners usually come in leather or microfiber. Both have their own sets of pros and cons. It's up to you to find the more favorable option for your wants and needs.
The leather is the more luxurious and classy choice. Leather is also more durable than microfiber. On the downside, it can be costly.
Microfiber is aimed at providing the utmost comfort. It's also stain resistant, which makes it an excellent option if you have kids and pets in the house. However, don't expect it to be more durable than leather.
