Recliners

Recliners – Comfort and Customization for Every Space

Recliners are not just seats; they’re an investment in relaxation and support. Whether you’re winding down in the living room, creating a cozy home theater or nursing a newborn, the right recliner helps your body unwind and improves your posture. High-quality chairs support your lumbar region and allow you to recline at an ergonomically friendly angle, reducing pressure on the spine and improving circulation. Raising your legs promotes blood flow and reduces swelling, while the semi‑reclined position eases stress and helps you sleep better.

At Ornate Home, you’ll find a curated range of manual and power recliners, rocker and glider recliners, lift recliners and swivel models — all designed to blend seamlessly with your decor. Shop compact chairs for apartments, roomy recliner sofas for family rooms or luxurious sectional sofas with built‑in recliners. Every piece in our collection is carefully selected for its comfort, durability, and style, featuring options from trusted brands such as Ashley Furniture, Coaster, Homelegance, ACME, Furniture of America, and Vavenza.

Types of Recliners and Their Benefits

• ✔ Manual recliners – Operated via a side lever or push‑back mechanism, manual recliners recline and extend the footrest simultaneously. They don’t need power, are more affordable and have fewer parts to maintain; high‑quality models use durable metal frames for longevity. However, they typically offer only a few preset positions and require some arm strength to operate.
  

• ✔ Power recliners – Electric motors adjust the backrest, footrest and sometimes the headrest at the touch of a button. These chairs provide infinite positions, advanced features like USB ports or wireless phone charging and are ideal for users with limited mobility because they don’t require physical effort to recline. The downside is that they require a power outlet and are more expensive, but many models include backup battery packs, allowing for flexible placement.
  

• ✔ Lift recliners – Also called power‑lift chairs, these models gently raise you from a seated to a standing position. They improve mobility, reduce pain and minimize the risk of falls. Lift chairs are recommended for people with severe mobility issues or safety concerns, and they relieve physical strain on caregivers while offering energy conservation and joint protection benefits.
  

• ✔ Rocker vs. glider recliners – A rocker recliner combines a traditional rocking motion with reclining, moving along an arched path and often offering multiple reclining positions for dynamic relaxation. A glider recliner, on the other hand, slides back and forth on a fixed, straight track, providing a smoother, quieter motion that’s ideal for nurseries and shared spaces. Gliders often sit on a 360° swivelling base for added versatility, while rocker recliners generally have a vertical rocker base that supports their arched motion.
  

• ✔ Swivel and glider recliners – Many of our chairs include a swivel glider base so you can rotate easily while enjoying the soothing glide of a glider recliner. Look for swivel glider recliners in our collection if you need effortless movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between manual and power recliners?

Manual recliners use a lever or push‑back mechanism to release the back and extend the footrest. They don’t rely on electricity, cost less and often last longer because they have fewer components, but they offer only a few preset positions and require some physical effort to operate. Power recliners utilize electric motors to adjust the backrest and footrest independently, providing infinite positioning and additional features such as USB ports and wireless charging. They are ideal for people with limited mobility but need to be placed near a power outlet and generally cost more.

Are lift chairs good for seniors?

Lift recliners gently elevate the user into a standing position. They improve mobility, reduce pain and minimize the risk of falls. They also conserve energy and protect joints while providing relief for caregivers who assist with sitting and standing. However, because they reduce physical exertion, they may contribute to decreased muscle activity if used exclusively; therefore, it’s essential to balance their use with regular physical activity.

What are the benefits of rocker vs. glider recliners?

Rocker recliners move in an arched path, similar to a traditional rocking chair, and offer multiple positions and custom options, such as power or massage upgrades. Glider recliners slide back and forth on a fixed track and often include a 360° swivelling base, resulting in a smoother, quieter motion that is ideal for nurseries or shared spaces. Rocker recliners provide a more dynamic rocking experience, while gliders prioritise gentle motion and noise reduction.

Do swivel glider recliners take up more space?

Swivel glider recliners have a round base that allows full-circle rotation and linear gliding motion. They take up slightly more floor space than a standard stationary recliner but offer the convenience of swivelling and gliding without needing to move the entire chair. Measure your room to ensure there’s clearance around the base for turning.

What should I consider when choosing a recliner?

Think about who will use the chair and how they’ll use it. Consider mobility needs (manual vs. power), available space (single chair vs. reclining sectional), desired features (swivel, glider, lift), and design preferences like fabric, color and style. Also check the weight capacity and ensure the recliner fits through doorways during delivery.
