Picture this: it's been a long day but you're finally relaxing on your favourite chair, the stress of the day vanishing. A recliner chair isn't just a piece of furniture... It's a tool for R&R and an investment into your comfort. Hunter Furnishing understands the importance of finding the perfect recliner to complement your needs and home. We'll guide you through the different types of recliner chairs, the key features to consider, and how to choose one that provides comfort and support for years to come. Whether you're looking for a classic manual recliner, a power-assisted chair, or one with added holistic features, we'll help you find your recliner.

Understanding the Different Types of Recliner Chairs:

  • Manual Recliners: These traditional recliners operate with a lever or handle, allowing you to manually adjust your position. They are often a less-expensive option and don't require electricity to operate so may be a more viable option for outhouse furniture. See: The Himolla Chester Manual Recliner Chair available in two sizes and various wood finishes.
  • Power Recliners: Offering effortless reclining at the touch of a button, power recliners are ideal for those with mobility issues or anyone seeking an elevated user experience. Some even come with features like power headrests and lumbar support. See: The Stressless Magic Recliner Chair available in Classic and Signature options.
  • Lift Chairs: Specifically designed to assist individuals with sitting and standing, lift chairs are a fantastic option for enhanced independence and comfort. They gently lift the user up and down, reducing strain on joints. See: The Celebrity Cantebury Recliner, with VAT exemption available (T&Cs apply). 

Key Features to Consider When Choosing a Recliner:

  • Material: From luxurious leathers to warm fabrics, the finish of your recliner plays a significant role in its comfort and aesthetics. Consider durability, ease of cleaning, and personal preference.  
  • Size and Fit: Ensure the recliner is the right size for your body and the space it will occupy. Consider seat width, depth, and back height for optimal comfort and support. Tip: Head into the Hunter Furnishing showroom to try the recliners on for size in person. 
  • Support and Comfort: Look for features like lumbar support, padded armrests, and a comfortable headrest. The quality of the cushioning and the frame construction are crucial for long-term comfort and durability. Whether it's a Stressless chair or Himolla sofa, we guarantee the quality of all the products we stock.
  • Mechanism and Durability: Whether manual or power, the reclining mechanism should be smooth and reliable. A sturdy frame ensures the longevity of your recliner. By choosing a renowned brand from a reputable retailer you know you're getting the best quality product.
  • Additional Features: Some recliners come with extra features like heat and massage functions, USB charging ports, or storage pockets. Consider if these features align with your needs and preferences. 

Choosing the Right Recliner for Your Needs:

  • For Relaxation: If your priority is unwinding after a long day at work, a plush power recliner with lumbar support might be ideal for your needs.
  • For Mobility Support: A lift chair can provide invaluable assistance and comfort for individuals with mobility challenges.
  • For Style: Consider the existing décor of your room and choose a recliner with a style and material that complements it. Hunter Furnishing offers a diverse range of styles to suit any taste.
