Rocco Electric Recliner Chair

10. Rocco Electric Recliner Chair

A visually striking recliner which will look good in any living room, the Rocco Electric Recliner features a beefy, robust design and comes in a choice of three colours, so there’s one to suit any decorating scheme.

Upholstered in 100% leather, it has a luxurious feel to its cushions, helped by a foam filling which rebounds after being sat in, so there’s no tedious plumping of pillows before you sit in it (a feature which on its own is enough to make it the best reclining armchair for some). The electric reclining action is smooth and straightforward for a comfortable sit down.

Ikea MUREN

8. Ikea MUREN

A typically understated and stylish offering from the Swedish interior design giants Ikea, the Muren is a simple yet undeniably good looking chair. Its sleek silhouette and muted colour palate make it one of the most tasteful chairs we’ve reviewed.

Upholstered in fabric rather than leather and in a choice of two colours, it’s a lovely chair to look at. Fortunately it’s also a strong performer. The Chair has three positions, with a high back providing excellent neck support and the footstool folds out very easily when the chair is in full-on reclining mode. Comfortable, reliable and chic, this chair is an excellent buy.

Budapest Recliner Armchair

7. Budapest Recliner Armchair

Bold but humble, the Budapest is one for the style conscious, and would suit a modern and clean design scheme. There’s a high back to support the neck well, and the whole chair is mounted on a swivel, giving it an excellent range of position.

Upholstered in faux leather with ample cushioning, and with a choice of three tasteful colours, it’s as much of a pleasure to look at as it is to sit in. A solidly made chair with a robust wood and steel frame, this is a chair built to last. The reclining mechanism is a smooth electric motor.

Annandale Swivel Recliner and Footstool by Wade Logan

6. Annandale Swivel Recliner and Footstool by Wade Logan

Unlike traditional all-in-one recliners, this set from Wade Logan comes with the footstool separate from the reclining chair. The chair itself is very comfortable both in seated and reclining positions, but the method of reclining isn’t the simplest, as it’s by means of a bolt under the chair which needs unscrewing and re-tightening.

That said, what you lose in convenience you gain in space saving, as the Annandale takes up much less room than a traditional recliner, looking more like a standard chair. The chair is easy to assemble, and is an excellent budget option if you want a reclining chair but aren’t that fussed about bells and whistles.
