Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Recliner
A recliner is more than just a chair—it’s your personal spot for relaxing, reading, watching TV, or curling up with a blanket. Choosing the right recliner ensures comfort, style, and durability for years to come. In Franklin, TN and Goodlettsville, TN, BF Myers Furniture and Mattress offers a wide array of recliners to choose from, but we want to make sure it is just right for you! Here’s what to consider before making your purchase.
1. Comfort Comes First
Look for a recliner that supports your back, neck, and legs. Test the chair if possible: sit back, recline fully, and notice how it feels. Cushions should be plush but supportive, and padding should maintain shape over
time.
2. Size Matters
Consider the space where your recliner will live. Measure the area and make sure the chair can fully recline without hitting walls or furniture. Also, choose a size that suits your body—oversized models are great for stretching out, while compact recliners work well in smaller rooms.
3. Style & Fabric
Recliners come in many styles, from classic leather to contemporary fabric. Choose a color and material that complements your existing décor. Leather is durable and easy to clean, while fabric options offer more color and texture choices.
4. Features & Functionality
Modern recliners may include manual or power reclining mechanisms, swivel and rocking features, built-in footrests, and even massage or heating functions. Think about what features will enhance your comfort and fit your lifestyle. Some even come with an attached remote that lets you adjust the settings! WOW!
5. Durability & Quality
Check the frame and construction—solid wood frames and high-quality joints provide longevity. Removable covers and stain-resistant fabrics can make maintenance easier, especially in homes with kids or pets.
