Our Picks
Mid Century Leather Modern Recliner Chair
This recliner has a webbing suspension system and is upholstered in 100% full leather with a chic light gray finish. Furthermore, its frame is constructed from kiln-dried hardwood and plywood. The foam is super high-density so you can sink into comfort right away.
Designer Advice:
The tapered legs of this chair lend it an understated mid-century modern look that still remains contemporary. Plus, the light gray finish and mid-brown frame with its rustic look will look amazing paired with light décor schemes. For a finishing touch, add a cushion with a geometric pattern to add some depth and texture to your recliner.
Wingback Modern Leather Recliner
Red Barrel Studio®
Built with a solid wood frame, this stunning recliner features an updated take on a wingback design and a nailhead trim. Plus, its ergonomic design will help to relieve any aches and pains. The recline is manual and works via pushing back.
Designer Advice:
We love the sophisticated and classy look of this chair. As it isn’t super wide, it’s a good choice for narrow living rooms or for putting in the corner of a bedroom. The glossy mid-brown finish would look gorgeous paired with a deep green accent wall or burgundy bedding. Either option would bring out the rich undertones of the brown.
Simple Modern Leather Recliner Chair
This recliner is available in five colors, including dark gray and light brown. It has a fully padded foam-wrapped frame made of hardwood for durability and an articulating headrest. Furthermore, it measures 31 inches wide. The recline is manual.
Wide Leather Recliner Modern
Red Barrel Studio®
Measuring just under 40 inches wide, this recliner combines superior comfort with tech. Generously padded all over, the finish is matte dark brown leather. The weight capacity is 300lbs and a USB charging port with a cord of 50 inches is included.
Designer Advice:
Made for the modern age, this recliner’s range of features is great for the tech-savvy members of your family, but its plush seat is suitable for everybody. You can stay up to date while enjoying your favorite shows due to the USB charging port. Its versatile dark brown finish would look best with a warm neutral décor scheme.

Tufted Modern Leather Recliner
Canora Grey
There are over five finishes to choose from with this recliner, including brick red and dove gray. It is made from solid and manufactured wood with a polyester fiber-filled frame. The footrest is hidden away for a smooth look.
Designer Advice:
The tufted back of this recliner lends it a sophisticated accent touch perfect for a refined look. Its tailored look would suit Scandinavian styles, and we recommend pairing it with other clean-lined furniture. The variety of colors also makes it a great choice for most décor schemes, as you’ll be able to customize it well to existing décor.

$1849.99
$1959.99
Designer Advice:
The low profile of this chair gives it a cool and ultra-modern look perfect for high-tech spaces. Additionally, as it is a wall hugger design, it’s also a brilliant option if you are trying to save space. However, the lower back does mean it may not be as comfortable, and the extra-wide size would only suit larger rooms.
Curved Modern Power Recliner
Orren Ellis
Unique and stylish, this recliner contains a swivel feature too. It is ergonomically designed for your comfort and features a control panel on the arm, in which a USB port is included. Moreover, the 2-way power leg and backrest can be controlled separately.
