Buying Guide

Modern style recliners are extremely comfortable, and they give your living space a fun, contemporary focal point. In some cases, sleeping in a recliner that offers sufficient back and neck support can be beneficial because it keeps your airways open.

Modern recliners come in all shapes, sizes, and styles, making it easy to find one that works well with your living room design and offers the shape that you find most comfortable for your body.

While they’re more streamlined and elegant than traditional recliners, the modern version still offers the option to put your legs up and lie back with your neck sufficiently supported.

Modern-style recliners work best in living rooms, formal sitting rooms, offices, and family rooms. Chairs that allow maximum reclining are great in living rooms or movie rooms for laying back during a film or chilling with the family. Decorative chairs such as an orange microfiber upholstered recliner or a recliner with teal fabric cushions and retro prints work well in formal sitting rooms for a Mid-century modern twist.

An antique French-style recliner is an excellent addition to a reading room. A dark leather seat with a sleek design and comfortable surface is ideal for offices where a client needs to relax, like a therapist or counselor’s practice. Recliners also function well in a creative workspace to provide a comfortable place to sit down between painting, drawing, designing, or writing.
