Comfy Recliners, Gliders and Rockers

Recliner chairs offer a combination of support and comfort and make versatile additions to the home or office. Shoppers can find them in a wide array of materials including leather, vinyl, microfiber, and suede, with sturdy frames that stand up to consistent use. Staples carries a variety of models in several colors and sizes from brands including Flash Furniture and COASTER.

Versatile Recliner Styles to Choose From
Not all recliner chairs are created equal; many have distinguishable features that set them apart. Some are designed solely for home or business office use such as manager's chairs or banker's chairs that have a reclining function. Others work equally well in a home or a hospitality setting for comfortable seating in front of the TV or as part of a media area. Leather recliners and suede units add a sleek look to the decor while microfiber and vinyl offer easy-to-clean surfaces in a variety of colors and patterns.

Before shopping, consider the size of the space and the user. Areas with less square footage can benefit from narrower designs, while oversized or big and tall recliners make good additions to a wide-open space. Those looking for a space-saving option for more than one person will find two, three, and four-seat options. Each chair has its own controls to let the user set their optimum level of comfort. These also work well in theater rooms in a home, library, or nursing home. Kids' recliners have the same features as full-size units, offering comfort for younger members of the family, and also come in group seating setups.

Built-In Comfort Features
Many recliners have padded arms to promote comfort, and some come with adjustable headrests so you can get the right amount of support and improve your posture. Choose a model that incorporates memory foam for a fit that contours to the body or those with sinuous springs that eliminate sagging for chairs that see regular use. Those who have back or neck issues can benefit from a model that has cushioned lumbar support.

Additional Recliner Features to Consider
Some recliners come with an extendable footrest that releases through the user applying pressure to the back. Others have a push-button mechanism that adjusts the position automatically or a pull lever that requires manual action. Shoppers can also find chairs that come with a separate ottoman for custom placement. Those with a swivel base allow freedom of movement, letting users move side to side as the need arises, with select models offering 360-degree rotation. Recliners that double as a rocking chair come with a frame that has a rocker or glider feature, providing smooth back and forth movements.

With side pockets, it's easy to store remote controls, a TV guide, or book, keeping components within easy reach at all times. Keep beverages close at hand during movie night with a cup holder on one or both arms. Some arms lift to reveal storage compartments where you can store craft projects, smart devices, or other small accessories.
