After a long day, there's nothing like relaxing in a cozy recliner, and having the perfect one makes all the difference. At Midwest Clearance Center, they've helped customers throughout Missouri and Illinois find their ideal pieces of furniture at excellent prices, and recliners are no exception. If you're interested in buying a recliner, their experts suggest focusing on two factors: the upholstery and the recliner type.

Upholstery

The upholstery plays a big role in the style of your recliner. There are two basic options available to choose from: leather and fabric. But even within those options, the choices are endless. Smooth, tightly stretched leather with minimal hardware is incredibly sleek and modern, while thickly padded, gently tufted cushions are very traditional. As for fabric, a single, dark, muted color is incredibly different from a brightly patterned one—choosing the right option all depends on your preferences. 

However, upholstery isn't just about style—it's also about cost and upkeep. For example, although leather is more expensive upfront, it is easier to clean. Fabric, on the other hand, is more affordable but less stain-resistant.

Recliner Type

If a recliner isn't comfortable, it's not the right one for you. How comfortable a recliner is has to do with the way it reclines. This factor can be narrowed down into three categories, which include:

• Push-Back Recliners: As you may have guessed, this type reclines once the back has been pushed down. Push-back recliners don’t have a connected footrest, so you'll need to use an ottoman. If you have limited space in your living area, this is a good option.
• Two-Position Recliners: This type offers two positions: upright and reclined. A handle or button pulls the backrest down and releases the footrest. This type of recliner is affordable, but they take up a lot of space. 
• Rocker Recliners: Rocker recliners offer a handful of angles so you can fine-tune your comfort. A footrest is connected with this type of recliner. 

Although you may already have an idea of what you want, the best way to decide is by trying your options out in-store.
