Recliner chairs and sofas offer a different level of comfort to a regular sofa. They’re synonymous with relaxation, literally offering the perfect spot to put your feet up and relax in cushioned comfort. Often included in home theatre rooms, recliner chairs are also just as at home in the family living room or even as a bedroom armchair. 

From ergonomics to aesthetics, there are a range of benefits of recliner chairs. The King Living Motion Collection includes a range of recliners, each with their own unique features and benefits. 

We explore the benefits of recliner chairs and sofas to help you determine if a recliner is the right choice for your home or space.

Comfort and ergonomics

Recliner chairs and sofas are supremely comfortable. They’re crafted with a design that ensures every curve and contour of your body is supported. If it’s an ergonomic sofa you’re looking for, a recliner is an ideal choice. 

Is a recliner good for your back? You may find that reclining minimises the pressure on your back that you would otherwise experience from being in a sitting position. The key is being able to customise the recliner to your body with incremental adjustments. 

The King Cloud Recliner offers the option to not just recline but to adjust each element of the sofa. You can adjust the head, seat and footrests with the touch of a button to find your personal comfort sweet spot. You also have the ability to program your personal comfort preferences for a seamless lounging experience. The TouchGlide® Control also minimises the effort required to recline the chair, making it ideal for anyone with joint or mobility issues.

Versatility and functionality

One of the clearest benefits of a recliner chair is the versatility to work in different spaces of different sizes. Unlike a chaise lounge, another popular option for reclining, a recliner chair can be used as a regular sofa or armchair, or as a recliner. 

This versatility is ideal for spaces where a permanent chaise lounge may not be practical due to size limitations but you still want the option to recline. It’s also a good option for when you want the option to sit or recline in the same chair or sofa. 

Unlike standard recliners, all recliners in the King Living Collection can also be placed close to a wall thanks to the space-saving reclining back mechanism.

Aesthetic appeal

Recliner chairs strike a commanding presence. As a statement sofa, they can be positioned as the focal point of a room. However, it all comes down to the design of the recliner chair. 

The King Living collection of recliners includes contemporary luxurious designs that reflect modern aesthetic preferences. 

The Reo is available as both a recliner or regular sofa or armchair giving you the option to create a complete sofa suite that fits your space. Sitting on elegantly tapered legs, the full-body comfort is evident in the plush cushions, headrests and armrests. As is the case with all sofas in the King Living collection, you can also customise Reo in your choice of premium fabrics and European leathers.

Modular design

While not true of all recliners, one of the benefits of King Living recliners and chairs is the modular design. Modularity is a philosophy that extends across the entire King Motion Collection, giving you the flexibility to choose furniture that can shift with your changing needs. 

The King Cinema Recliner is just one example of modular design. Choose from an armchair or 2, 2.5 or 3 seater sofa. The collection also includes an optional media console that can be positioned between modules for added versatility.
