Recliner Designs
The three styles of recliners that you'll find are the 2-position recliner, the rocker recliner/wall-saver recliner and the push-back recliner.

Two-Position Recliner
The 2-position recliner has, you guessed it, two positions: upright or reclining fully. With this recliner, you must release the footrest to recline completely. They are cheaper than other styles but are limited in colors, fabrics and styles. This recliner is best placed where it will have plenty of room to recline without knocking into something.

Rocker Recliner
The rocker recliner, also known as the wall-saver recliner, is the most popular type of recliner. You will be able to sit in a wide range of reclining angles, and you can place these chairs a little closer to walls, which makes them perfect for small spaces.

Push-Back Recliners
The push-back recliner, or flex-back recliner, usually costs a bit more, but it is a very stylish piece of living room furniture, often available in leather, which has no difficulty fitting into modern homes. The name of this recliner says it all; you have to push back into the back of the recliner to recline. The only part of this chair that reclines is the back, so using an ottoman is a fantastic way to find maximum comfort.

Finding a Recliner With The Right Fit
The way you fit into your recliner will determine its comfort. If you are tall, look for a larger recliner, but remember that if other people use this recliner, they also need to be able to sit in it comfortably. This is especially important if you are shorter but will be sharing with a tall guy. Guys, if this recliner is all for you, look for the most comfortable recliner you can afford! You will love it! Another fit area you need to consider is the seat width. Find a nice seat depth and width that will provide ample room and comfort. After all, a recliner is all about comfort.

Recliner Materials
You can find most recliners in leather and leather-match, which is a leather and vinyl combination. The leather will be on the seat, back and arms with a matching vinyl covering the sides and back of the chair. All-leather chairs are more expensive but will match more living room sets and décor. Microfiber is a popular material for recliners. It is durable and stain resistant. Microfiber is an affordable alternative to leather.
