Question 1

Why choose a reclining sofa?

Accepted Answer

Reclining sofas feature a unique mechanism that can change the angle of your seat for improved comfort. This can relieve tension on your muscles, easing back and neck pain and letting you customise how you sit to suit your preferences. Reclining sofas can also be customised just as easily as regular sofas, with versatile décor such as brown cushions and footstools letting you add a personal touch to your design.

Question 2

What’s the difference between an electric reclining sofa and a manual reclining sofa?

Accepted Answer

Manual recliner sofas are unpowered and can be adjusted by pulling a lever built into the arm of your sofa. Electric recliners, however, use a powered mechanism to change the angle of their seat. Both achieve a similar effect through different methods.

Question 3

Which is better – a manual recliner sofa or an electric recliner?

Accepted Answer

While a manual recliner typically shifts between two settings, an electric recliner comes with a remote control that allows for more precise customisation. Electric recliner sofas need to be plugged in for power, so make sure to use our sofa measurement guide to ensure you have enough space to fit your sofa near a source of electricity.

Question 4

I’ve got back pain, will a reclining sofa help?

Accepted Answer

A recliner sofa can help to ease back and neck pain by removing stress from your muscles and providing an ergonomic design that wouldn’t be possible with a regular sofa. The elevated legs also reduce tension on the hips and lower back for improved blood flow.

Question 5

How can I keep my reclining sofa like new?
