Recliner sofas

In everyday language they are almost the same thing. A reclining sofa has a back that tilts backwards; a recliner usually also has a footrest that rises from the seat, so you can stretch your legs out. There are also sofas whose seats slide forward to make the seat deeper: comfortable, but not recliners. At the showroom we can explain the differences model by model.

A manual recliner opens with a lever or by pushing with your body and does not need electricity. A power recliner works with a button, stops in the position you prefer and is easier for people who find movement tiring, but it needs a socket nearby. The choice depends on who will use it and where the sofa will go: at the showroom we will help you understand what the model you like offers.

As well as the size of the closed sofa, allow for the space in front when the footrest is out, so it doesn't hit the coffee table. Some mechanisms also need a little room behind the back, while others can sit close to the wall: it depends on the model. Before buying, it's worth checking the open dimensions with a consultant.

Yes. The catalogue includes corner and chaise layouts with recliner seats, as you can see in the photos of Ninfea, Olbia and Alghero. The number of recliner seats and where they sit in the layout depend on the model: we can go through the options together at the showroom.
