Our advice Buying Guide
A mission-style recliner is a chair that's inviting to sit and relax on after a long and tiring day at work. It's so comfortable that you can find it hard to get up once you've started lounging on it. This type of recliner is loved by homeowners as it's the model that can beautify a home while remaining functional.
You may find yourself already convinced to buy one, but the problem is this: how will you choose the right mission-style recliner when there are so many options and features you can select from? Well, you're in luck as you’ve started reading a buying guide on mission-style recliners! Let's not prolong this any further.
How to ensure the quality of a recliner frame?
While it's the last thing you'd pay attention to when you sit on a recliner as you catch up on a TV show or relax with a book in hand, the seat's frame is what's supporting your weight as well as the other parts of the chair.
- A durable type of framing is kiln-dried wood as there's no moisture in the material which can easily lead to warping.
- Although it's not the most durable, softwood is still an exceptional material as it's stronger compared to engineered woods. However, it contains knots that, after a long time, will compromise the material's strength.
- Engineered wood is what you'd want if you're trying to keep up with the latest trends in home design. It's also the most cost-effective option. Because it's not the most durable material, we suggest you choose the 11- to 13-layer plywood frame instead of the 5- to 7-layer frame if you go this route.
- Your best frame material option would be a solid hardwood. It's denser and stronger compared to engineered wood and softwoods.
How to select the right size recliner?
Of course, your mission-style recliner has to fit the space you have in your home. Measure both the recliner that you'll be buying along with the size of your room. Make sure that when you measure, you're taking the dimensions of the chair while it's fully reclined. You will need somewhere between a foot to three feet of clearance from the wall.
The size of your body is another essential factor to take into consideration. If possible, sit on the furniture for a long time. That's how you test a recliner. Also, make sure that your feet can reach the floor while you're in a sitting position. As for your head, it should fit the headrest and be made of a material that's soft instead of stiff. The ideal gap between the leg rest and the seat is 5 inches.
You're now ready to choose a mission-style recliner for your home. We suggest you browse the collections available online to get good deals and an idea on how the best models look like. Good luck and happy shopping!
