Flexsteel Leather Recliners

The Apollo Flexsteel Big Man Recliner

What we like: Extra-wide seating

What we don’t like: It can be overly cushioned

Not so great for: Space limited living rooms

Perfect for: His or Her main chair

The Apollo is a Flexsteel big man recliner with a power gliding function and separate power-adjustable headrest. Easily glide to comfortable positions with a press of a button and never worry about losing control with the integrated safety locks. A different set of controls is responsible for the headrest adjustments.

The seat is made of high-quality leather vinyl, which is exceptionally soft and stain-resistant. The back and headrests feature overstuffed cushions that conform to your body for maximum comfort. However, the backrest is also removable, making it easy to move the chair from room to room. 

The Digby—Manual Flexsteel Recliner Chair

What we like: Its tapered and sleek design

What we don’t like: Manual reclining instead of powered

Not so good for: Long periods of sitting

Perfect for: Full horizontal reclining

The slender and high-legged Digby is the perfect leather recliner chair to add to a living room for extra seating. Its tightly packed backrest and seat cushion work well with the compact dimensions. The Digby’s architectural feel and leather upholstery give it a classic look sure to fit in with mid-century modern or traditional homes. Accessorize with geometric throw cushions, a tapered leg side table, and a high-pile shag rug for a retro-mod look.

The Digby is two chairs combined into one incredible ergonomic system. It has a compact footprint when it is upright, but it can also recline to a full 180°, perfect for afternoon naps. It has a 65” depth when open, but it needs 19” of wall clearance. 

The Astra Modern Steel Frame Recliner

What we like: Modern recliner design

What we don’t like: It is cumbersome

Not so good for: Laying down completely horizontally

Perfect for: Multiple hours of sitting

Angles and flat surfaces characterize Astra’s design as the backrest is cut off before providing a headrest. The headrest is snug behind the backrest and kicks into action when the user activates the power reclining function. The headrest also has its own separate power controls, and the armrest comes with an integrated USB port so you can conveniently charge your smartphone or tablet.

It does not recline to a completely horizontal plane, but that makes it better for spaces close to walls as it only needs a 5” wall clearance. Its fully reclined position provides comfort while ergonomically positioning the user to continue watching their favorite show or reading a book. This is the ideal reclining chair for a study or an excellent addition to a modern designed living room. 

The Broadway — Sophisticated Power Leather Recliner

What we like: Attached seat and back cushions

What we don’t like: Non-ergonomic armrest height when in an upright position

Not so good for: Laying down for a nap

Perfect for: Extremely tight spaces

If you need a comfortable chair in the corner of a room that matches your contemporary home, then Flexsteel’s Broadway is the chair for you. It only requires 3” of wall clearance and extends to 61” when fully reclined. Its self-contained design is aided by its attached high-density seat cushions that are comfortable for years on end.

The seat accommodates middle to small-sized people with 20” depth and 23” width. It is a power recliner, so anyone can set it to a comfortable position and reset the chair to the original position with one touch of the home button. The premium leather upholstery comes in rustic red and sleek gray. However, you’ll need to maintain the leather with a condition every month to keep its supple texture. 

The Devon Rocking Recliner

What we like: Relatively lightweight

What we don’t like: One-foot wall clearance

Not so good for: Modern or contemporary homes

Perfect for: Traditional or transitional style homes

If you want a rocking leather recliner, then the Devon is the chair for you. It's perfect for rocking yourself into a nap with extremely comfortable puckered stitching and a tufted back. It fully reclines at the press of a button, and the safety mechanism ensures it does not rock while reclining.

The big cushions and leg rest make it one of the larger recliners that Flexsteel has to offer. It is 34” wide, 40” deep, and 41” tall, but the seat itself is not a big man seat as it is only 22” wide and 22” deep. This chair is unapologetically focused on comfort, from its rocking mechanism to its traditional tufted back design and cushy armrests.
