Chairs come in all sorts of guises: for dining , for working , for chucking clothes over instead of hanging them up properly in the wardrobe. The best kind? The armchair . A prince in the living room - because a sofa is king - the armchair is ideal for enjoying solo.
No need to share, no “budging up a little”. They’re a padded throne for one occupant only. But not all armchairs are created equal.
A recliner chair heralds a new dawn of comfort, taking the strain off any limbs with the utmost support. You sit cradled in a cupped cloud of luxury, be it velvet, leather or another fabric. Recliner seats typically feature ridiculously plump cushions, sandwiched between hefty armrests.
They come in manual or electric versions, the latter also offering cool perks like remote control operation or USB charging so you don’t have to get up to charge your phone or tablet. We’d put a reclining armchair up there with the greatest furniture adventures of all time. Aside from comfort, they’re great for older users, giving them a supremely comfortable seat to enjoy day or night.
Specialist recliners feature lift assist too, helping those with mobility issues to get up without a struggle. They’re the ultimate chair to add to a home entertainment set-up, offering a cinema-like feel without the eyewatering prices or dodgy loos to contend with. Price-wise, they’re not the cheapest option.
Expect to pay three figures at least. But for your money, you’ll get a chair that’s built .
