How to Choose the Best TV Recliner for You

When you start your TV recliner search, you might realize there are more options than you thought. This is an increasingly popular seating style which means furniture companies are developing new models every few months. Don’t worry, with just a few questions, you can narrow down your options to choose the best one.

  • Do you want a power or manual model? Power recliners plug into the wall and can adjust to your preferences within a matter of centimeters. Manual options can go anywhere and are controlled by a lever.
  • What upholstery would you like? You can opt for a leather TV recliner chair or a fabric model. There are different textures and options that make cleaning your chair easy.
  • What color would you like? You can buy a TV chair recliner in a traditional brown color or opt for tan, red, blue, or patterned models.
  • What size do you need? Measure your space so you can find the best TV recliner chair for your home. You can either get one chair for your living space, multiple chairs for family members, or reclining sofas that can accommodate the whole family.

Finally, make sure your recliners fall within your desired price range. Recliners can cost anywhere from $200 to $2,000 depending on the brand, size, and style. Set a price goal and see if your results match your budget.

FAQ

Are recliners good for your back?

Studies show that sitting in a reclining position can reduce the pressure on your spine, especially if you have been standing or sitting with poor posture throughout the day. Reclining at least 135 degrees can have a significant impact on back pain.

Do power recliners plug into the wall?

Yes. If you are interested in adding a power recliner to your home, it will need to plug into an outlet somewhere. Not only will this power the reclining motor, but it can also send power to USB chargers in some models.
