Find Your Perfect Recliner At Homemakers Furniture

When you're shopping for a new recliner, the brand behind it says a lot about what you're getting. At Homemakers Furniture, we carry a huge selection from the best in the business such as La-Z-Boy, Ashley, and Flexsteel.

Reclining Mechanisms: Find the Right Recline

Not all recliners recline the same way, and the mechanism matters more than most shoppers expect.

Manual recliners use a push-back, lever, or handle to move the chair. They're simple, affordable, and have fewer parts to break down over time. Power recliners use a motor and remote to adjust the seat, headrest, and footrest independently, which is worth the upgrade if you deal with mobility issues or just want a more precise recline. If you need help standing, a lift recliner slowly tilts the entire chair forward to help you back on your feet.

Beyond the basic recline, look at how the chair moves as a whole. A rocker recliner adds a gentle back-and-forth motion, a swivel recliner lets you turn toward the room (or the TV) without getting up, and a zero gravity recliner reclines the seat and footrest evenly to take pressure off your lower back. Tight on space? A wall hugger recliner is built to recline just a few inches from the wall instead of sliding backward, so it fits in smaller rooms without losing the recline.

Modern Features for Ultimate Comfort

Today's recliners do a lot more than lean back. Once you've settled on a brand and a mechanism, it's worth comparing the extras as they're a big part of what makes a recliner worth the money.

Heated massage recliners are one of the most requested upgrades we carry, with multiple heat and massage zones built into the back and seat for targeted relief after a long day. USB ports and charging stations are showing up in more models too, so you can keep your phone charged without leaving your seat, and some higher-end recliners now include built-in lighting using side-mounted reading lights or under-chair accent lighting for a media room. Add useful details like cup holders, hidden storage arms and adjustable power headrests and lumbar support, and you've got a chair that does the job of a nightstand, charging station, and lounge chair in one.

Leather and leather-match upholstery tend to pair well with these tech-forward features and are easy to wipe down, while fabric options offer more color and pattern choice if that matters more to you.

Visit our Homemakers Furniture Showroom and compare a few options side by side, sit in each one, and test the controls yourself. The right combination of brand, mechanism, and features is different for everyone, and that's exactly what our recliner selection is built to cover.
