The recliner is often the favorite seat in any living room or home theater, thanks to its incomparable comfort. However, as you shop for the perfect chair, you’ll find that they come in a variety of styles. Learn more about the different options below to decide which best reflects your furniture needs and décor preferences.

Which Recliner Is Best for You?

1. Riser

Risers are also known as motorized recliners. They tend to be the most expensive and the heaviest, but they're also the most versatile and require very little effort to operate. This chair will feature a control pad with buttons to move the seat back and forward. Some also have separate motors for the seat back and footrest so they can be operated independently, offering optimal customization and comfort.

2. Two-Position

This traditional recliner has two positions: upright and reclined. You can move between the two positions with a button or lever on the side of the chair. With this style, you don't have flexibility in how far back it leans, and you'll need to provide ample space for the moving back and footrest. However, these recliners also tend to be the most affordable.

3. Rocker

Rockers offer a bit more control than the two-position, since they usually have several reclining angles. The footrest can come up without moving the seatback, so these are ideal for smaller rooms where you need to be able to push the recliner against a wall. These are also relatively affordable, as the cost is comparable to the two-position.

4. Push-Back

The push-back recliner doesn't have a lever or button to operate. Instead, you simply grip the armrests and push your back into the seat to make it recline. They rarely come with a footrest, but you can pair your seat with an ottoman if you want to put your feet up. These chairs also come in more modern styles and trendy fabrics, so they're a top choice for people who prioritize stylish furniture.
