Remember comfort is the most important part of the process so in the end you should be able to relax and sink into your newly chosen recliner and never want to get up.
Will My New Recliner Fit in my home?
First things first, it is important to measure both room space and recliner dimensions either from the showroom or from the details on the Furniture World website, where you will find full product descriptions and features which will enable you to visualise how your recliner will look in your room.
It's worth noting that your recliner will need to be positioned between 250mm and 900mm away from the wall to allow for reclining action so bear this in mind especially if your purchase is going into a small room. We offer petite and even grand styles in some recliners so it is possible to get the exact recliner that you need for your home. If you need help choosing what size you want, our sales staff in store are full of knowledge on the different options available so don’t hesitate to pop in and see us or give us a call for more advice.
What size recliner should I buy?
When choosing your perfect recliner make sure your feet touch the floor whilst in the sitting position and your head comfortably fits the headrest. It is also important for your new recliner to fit in with the rest of the room's aesthetics, so choosing the right leather or fabric colour is essential.
What’s is the difference between a Manual and a power recliner?
Manual Recliner
Most recliners are available to order with a manual or power mechanism. Most of our manual reclining chairs have a choice of either a catch or a handle release at the side of the chair, this allows the footrest to elevate your legs to the position you feel most comfortable, you are then able to further recline to a horizontal position. However, on some manual recliners, you need to use your weight to reset the chair back to its original position. This is no more than resting your legs back onto the footrest but a power recliner does all the work for you and is a perfect solution for an easier recline.
Power Recliners
Power action recliners are operated with either buttons located at the side of the chair or a handset, enabling you to control your recline position at the touch of a button. It’s as simple as pressing up and down to relax fully in your new armchair.
Lift and tilt recliners.
We also offer a lift and tilt option, this is a recliner with the added option of reclining from near standing to sitting position, and fully reclining then back to a standing position making access to the chair easy. In your later years of life don’t struggle when getting out of a chair when we have a chair available that does the work for you.
How will my recliner be delivered?
Most recliners can have the backs removed for ease of delivery meaning that you can choose from a much wider range of reclining chairs than you might think. If you are worried about fitting an item in your home always give us a call or a message where we can help you with our years of experience with reclining chairs.
All reclining sofas and armchairs come with a care guide to help prolong the life of your product so make sure that you check before using any new product on your new chair. Be especially careful if you are using any wet cleaning products especially if you have an electric power-assisted chair as this is not recommended.
