When you want the deep relaxation of a living room recliner,
choose from over 175 models in stock on a typical day at any of our Roberts Furniture & Mattress locations. The variety of recliners from simple rockers to power
models with heat and/or massage may leave you with information overload. To
help you best decide which living room recliner is right for your needs, today’s
blog post gives you a few matters to consider.
Some Living Room Recliner Cost and Space Considerations
While everything at Roberts is a bargain every day, which
our neighbors appreciate, living room recliners come in a wide spread of price points
and features. Simple push-back recliners, which open just by leaning back, are
just a couple hundred dollars; a good entry-level option but one that might be
a bit less durable. Your classic rocker recliner, popping open at the turn of a
lever, is a sound mid-range price option that delivers you top comfort thanks
to recent refinements in lumbar support, steel coils, and high-density foam. A
novel idea for those of you with “cozy” (cramped) spaces are wall-saver
recliners. For these models you only need about 6 inches of space between the
chair and the wall! Traditional living room recliners require about a foot to
open properly. If you want to pull out all the stops, there are ultra-luxurious
recliners with goodies such as mechanical massage and heat to relieve your pain
from strain or injuries. These marvelous chairs can run you into the upper hundreds
or beyond but if you’re a weekend athlete or have a crick in your back, they
might well pay for themselves at least in relief. When you’re perusing your living
room recliner options, make sure that there are no more than 5 inches between
the open leg rest and the seat; ditto for the lever. This is especially important
if there are young children or pets in your household. For durable upholstery,
leather is king but easy-care microfiber and other man-made fabrics offer affordable
plushness and easy care.
How to Test-Drive a Living Room Recliner In-Store
You won’t know if a living room recliner is for you until
you really sit in it when it’s opened up! Take your time: at least 5 minutes.
Like Goldilocks in the tale you’ll have to work your way through many living
room recliners that are just too firm or soft for your frame until you alight
on the one that’s juuuust right. Try to find the densest foam in the cushions
while remaining comfortable: they should retain their shape even after you’ve
sat on them for those 5 minutes.
Make living room recliner buying easy and affordable by
coming to our Hampton, VA store or other Roberts locations.
