Nothing provides more comfort, particularly after a long day, than a reclining chair. Sink into the cushy couches, push the button or pull the lever to adjust the chair to your preferred position – and you’re in heaven.

That’s not all that recliners are good for, though. The most comfortable recliners can also provide terrific lumbar and neck support, and even a relaxing and therapeutic massage. You just have to choose wisely, which is a good idea in any event; these chairs are usually quite expensive.
All recliners are certainly not the same. A standard two-position recliner simply leans back and extends a footrest. A rocking recliner adds the primary feature of a rocking chair, great for parents with newborns. Lift recliners help you get out of the chair by tilting forward, and space-saving recliners only have to be positioned about half-a-foot from the wall, Swivel recliners and heated recliners do exactly what their names suggest.
If your main concern is finding the most comfortable recliner, though, there are two factors to consider. One is the style of the recliner, which we’ve briefly addressed. One person’s idea of comfort may be receiving a gentle massage in her chair, another might define comfort as being able to both recline and rock, while a third would be most comfortable in a chair that allows electric tilt adjustments to both the chair and footrest.
The majority, though, call a chair comfortable when they can simply just sink into it. That’s a function of padding and upholstery.
The soft padding inside most comfortable recliners is what makes them so plush. The padding is usually synthetic foam; the best choice is either high-density foam, or memory foam that conforms to the shape of your body. By contrast, viscous or soft shredded foam will provide less support and be less comfortable. Look for a foam density of 2.0 or higher, which means it won’t lose its shape easily. Skip chairs stuffed with material like cotton batting, because it will quickly shift underneath the upholstery and become uncomfortable.
Natural or synthetic fibers are most commonly used to upholster recliners. Cotton, cotton/polyester blends and microfiber are the materials used most often, and all can be quite comfortable. Avoid materials like wool (which can be scratchy) and vinyl (which can get sweaty and sticky, and cracks easily), if comfort is your goal. Leather can be a beautiful and comfortable choice, as long as it’s soft and expensive full-grain or top-grain leather, rather than lower-quality split-grain or bi-cast leather. You can also consider velvet, if that’s your style.
Finally, look for coils under the seat and a sinuous spring suspension in the back. The most comfortable recliners have both, as the coils prevent sagging and the springs provide strong support for the back.

An oversized recliner is one of the most comfortable recliners you can get, as anything oversized is always perfect to snuggle up in. Still, you can find a smaller recliner to suit your needs and fit a compact space whilst still being comfy. Instead of looking like a regular armchair, some recliners feature a long and narrow shape, which is best for small spaces. However, if you don't have limitations on space, we found that recliners measuring at least 50 inches wide offered the most comfort. Features like pillow arms and a well-padded back can also add to the bulk of a recliner chair, so keep this in mind when figuring out whether your chosen recliner will fit in well.
Material is a main aspect of a comfortable recliner, but different finishes offer different levels of comfort. Per Frances Merrill, most recliners feature either a PU leather or a soft polyester fabric finish. PU leather nowadays can feel a lot like real leather but won't come with the upkeep of keeping leather clean. Moreover, the versatility of polyester means most recliners will have some form of polyester construction. For a summer-like carefree coastal vibe, linen-look polyester is the best choice. A cotton-polyester blend is also a good breathable fabric choice for an item you'll be using often.
Tall and sleek or short and padded -- what constitutes a comfortable recliner is up to you, but what is certain is that it should match your existing décor. It cannot be denied that recliners have a tendency to sacrifice style for comfort, so Billy Cotton recommends going for something in-between these two categories. For example, if your recliner has seriously padded arms, go for one upholstered in a linen-look fabric for a more sophisticated and even look. Moreover, a tall back will always look chic, especially if your recliner has a highly cushioned back. A tall back additionally prevents a slouchy look.
If you don't want your electricity bill to be affected by your new recliner, a manual recliner is the better option. Per Courtney McLeod, a manual recliner is also ideal if you like to be completely in control of how far to recline. Manual recliners generally are less expensive to purchase, too, making them a more budget-friendly choice. On the other hand, a power recliner has many benefits to offer if budget isn't a deciding point for you. Not only do power recliners usually feature more lockable reclining positions, but also sometimes have heat and massage functions. Nevertheless, a power recliner will require an electrical outlet nearby, a downside if you hate wires out in the open.
A large portion of recliners feature a pocket at the side. Though this pocket won't add any extra bulk due to its slim size, it will be a useful place for a newspaper or your latest read. In addition to this, power recliners often come with a small pouch located by the arm or at the side of the recliner. This pouch is ideal for storing the recliner remote. Some recliners have a cup holder, but this is a rare feature usually only included with pricier recliners.
