A Kian recliner chair is a single motion seat that matches the brand's sofas and sectionals. This collection covers 5 recliner types, from power reclining chairs with USB charging to power lift recliners that help you stand. Most Kian recliners measure about 34 to 43 inches (86 to 109 cm) wide, and the guide below explains which type and size fit your space.

What Types of Kian Recliners Can You Choose From?

There are 5 types of Kian recliners: power, dual power, triple power, power lift and manual, which includes gliding models. Each one carries the same series colors used across Kian furniture, so a recliner can match an existing sofa or stand on its own.

Two of these types, power lift and gliding, work quite differently from a standard recliner.

What Is a Power Lift Recliner?

A power lift recliner is a chair that raises and tilts its whole seat forward to help you stand up or sit down with less effort. A handheld remote controls both the lift and the recline, and the Midway model adds a USB port on the handset. Kian offers power lift recliners in the Wasatch, Midway and Torrey series, so a lift chair can match the rest of the room.

Lift recliners suit older adults, people recovering from surgery and anyone who finds low seats hard to leave. Gliding recliners serve a different need.

What Is a Gliding Recliner?

A gliding recliner is a manual chair that moves smoothly back and forth while upright and reclines with a pull of the handle. The motion feels similar to a rocker but travels on a flat track, so it needs less space behind the chair. Kian gliding reclining chairs come in the Midway, Torrey, Boulder and Lehi series, most with a soft pillow arm.

Gliders work well in nurseries and reading corners because they need no outlet. Every type still needs the right amount of floor space.

How Do You Pick the Right Size Kian Recliner?

To pick the right size Kian recliner, compare the chair's width and reclined depth with the spot you plan to use. Most Kian recliners run about 34 to 43 inches (86 to 109 cm) wide and 36 to 42 inches (91 to 107 cm) deep when upright. Leave roughly 24 to 30 inches (61 to 76 cm) in front for the footrest, plus space behind for the back to drop.

Wider pillow-arm models feel more enveloping, while slimmer power chairs fit beside a sofa or in a bedroom. Size and style both matter when you match a recliner to other Kian pieces.

How Do You Match a Kian Recliner to a Sofa or Sectional?

To match a Kian recliner to a sofa or sectional, choose a chair from the same series name and color. Browse Kian reclining sofas by series, such as Richfield in ebony or Brighton in smoke, then pick the recliner with the same name. Matching the series keeps the fabric, stitching and recline mechanism identical across the room.

Do Power Recliners Need to Be Plugged In?

Yes, Kian power recliners and power lift recliners need to be plugged into a wall outlet to move. Gliding and manual Kian recliners work without any power.

What Does Dual Power Mean on a Recliner?
