You're thinking about getting a new sofa, but you want something more than
just a place to watch TV, something a little different. Reclining sofas are versatile in both use and
style, but the addition of moving mechanisms makes finding the perfect piece
more complicated than buying a basic couch. Look for furniture that comes with
a lifetime warranty on the reclining mechanism and a minimum of three years on
the entire sofa.
The Different Types
of Reclining Sofas
Traditional
Reclining Sofas. This reclining sofa functions by reclining when a lever or button is
pushed that releases the seatback into the down position and the footrest into
the up position. This type of reclining sofa is better suited for bigger rooms,
as about 3 feet of space is needed behind it to allow the seatback to fully
recline.
Wall-Hugger Reclining
Sofas. Wall-hugger reclining
sofas are usually the option available in addition to rocker recliners. The
difference is that wall-hugger reclining sofas sit up straighter and therefore
can be pressed directly up against a wall - using far less space. They also
often have a more limited range of motion, and a resting position that is
easier to get in and out of.
Lift Reclining Sofa. Lift reclining sofas are
popular with the elderly and those who have difficulty getting out of a deeper
recliner. The lift mechanism pushes the chair from a flat seated position to a
more upright angled position that guides the occupant into the standing
position.
Guidelines when
Choosing a Reclining Sofa
Think about size. freestanding sofa may be
fine, but one up against a wall or another piece of furniture needs additional
clearance in back to allow for the reclining sofa -- and in front to allow for
the foot rest that comes up and out. Be sure the sofa can fit through doorways.
Features make a
difference. Reclining sofas typically include other options, such as a fold-down,
center console with cup holders or even different types of reclining
mechanisms. Other features may include treated fabric for stain resistance or
even the type of trim on the sofa itself.
Be bold. Never be afraid to mix and
match your furniture to blend with your current living room decor, or fill the
entire space.
