Recliner Chairs

Kick Back in Comfort With Recliner Chairs

Nothing beats that first deep sigh when you finally sit down. A good recliner makes that moment even better.

Our range of recliner chairs is built for comfort, quality, and real life in Australia. Whether you're after something compact or full of features, we've got options for every room.

What is a recliner chair?

A recliner chair is designed to help you relax with a backrest that tilts and a footrest that lifts. It gives you more support than a standard armchair and lets you adjust your position with ease.

You can pick a manual recliner with a simple pull handle, or go for a power recliner that moves at the push of a button. It's a comfort essential in many Australian homes.

Are reclining chairs good for you?

Reclining chairs offer real benefits when you need to rest your body and ease tension. They support your posture in ways standard chairs often can't.

The perfect recliner can improve your daily comfort in several ways:

• Reduces back strain: Tilting back takes weight off your spine and promotes better alignment with lumbar support.
• Improves circulation: Elevating your legs helps blood flow and reduces swelling after long days on your feet.
• Encourages relaxation: An ergonomic design lets your muscles fully release, making it easier to unwind.

Not every recliner will suit every space or style, so it helps to know what types are out there before you decide.

What types of recliner chairs can you choose from?

Recliners come in different styles to suit how you live and what your body needs. From simple manual designs to high-quality powered options, there's a fit for every home.

At Amart, our best-selling styles give you flexibility and function:

• Manual recliners: You pull a lever or push back to adjust the angle. Simple, affordable, and reliable for everyday use.
• Electric recliner chair: A button does the work for you. Great for anyone who wants effortless adjustments and smooth transitions.
• Electric lift chair: Tilts forward to help you stand up with ease. Perfect for mobility support or anyone recovering from injury.
• Swivel recliners: Rotate on a base so you can turn toward the TV, conversation, or window without getting up.

How do you pick the right recliner chair?

Think about how you use your living space and who’s using the chair. The goal is to find something that fits comfortably without overwhelming the room.

Keep these things in mind before you choose:

• Room size: Measure your space to make sure there’s enough clearance to recline fully.
• Seater style: Single, twin or three-seater options give you flexibility depending on your needs.
• Function: Some recliners suit quiet reading spots, others are made for the centre of your living room.
• Fit and feel: Always check the seat height and back support so it suits your body and how you like to relax.

Beyond size and fit, the features you choose can also make all the difference in daily comfort.

What features matter in a recliner chair?

Look for these upgrades that add real value:

• Adjustable headrest: Lets you find the perfect angle for your neck and supports different sitting or sleeping positions.
• Padded footrest: Elevates your legs comfortably and helps you lay back without strain on your lower body.
• Lumbar backrest support: Targets your lower spine to reduce aches during long sitting sessions.
• Built-in extras: Some models include cup holders, USB ports, or storage pockets for added convenience.

Which materials are best for recliner chairs?

Material choice makes a big difference to how your recliner feels and how long it lasts. It also affects how easy it is to clean and how well it fits into your lifestyle.

A leather recliner adds a sleek, durable finish that’s easy to wipe down. It’s a practical pick for busy homes. Fabric recliners offer a softer feel and come in more colours and textures. Microfibre and other upholstery types are also popular for their comfort and low-fuss care.

Where to put your recliner chair at home

Placement can make or break how much you actually use your recliner. The right spot balances function with flow.

Try these ideas to get the most out of your setup:

• Position a recliner armchair near a window for natural light and a view while you relax.
• Pair a recliner lounge with existing lounge suites to create a layered seating area that invites conversation.
• Place a recliner sofa facing the TV in your media room for the ultimate viewing experience.
• Tuck one into a corner beside sofa beds or ottomans to maximise seating without blocking pathways.

How to adjust a recliner chair

Adjusting your recliner should feel smooth and simple, whether it’s your first time or part of your daily routine. Start by sitting back fully with your feet flat on the floor.

For manual recliners, pull the lever gently while leaning back. If you’re using a powered model, press the control button slowly to find your ideal position.

Always check that there’s enough space behind the chair before reclining. And make sure the footrest clicks back into place when you’re done.
