How to Choose the Best TV Recliner for Your Home
Choosing the right recliner for you can be difficult. It is best to start out with a list of features that you want the recliner to have, as well as choosing the design style. Most of our recliners work in contemporary, modern, and/or transitional spaces.
Here are some things to consider as you create your TV recliner wish list:
- Power vs manual mechanism – Have a plan for where to place and plug in the power recliner before you choose one. If outlets are an issue but you don’t want external hardware opt for a push back or pull manual recliner instead.
- Width and weight – The average doorway is 36” and plenty of wide enough for most recliners, but apartments might have a smaller 30” or 32” doorway clearance. Lighter weight recliners with detachable backs and a slimmer profile are best for renters who are likely to change residences and move furniture every year or three.
- Wall clearance – Most recliners need a wall clearance of at least 5 inches, but some oversized recliners like the Ashley Signature by Design McClelland Gray oversized power recliner need more. Make sure you check all specs before purchasing a recliner.
