Recliner Chairs FAQs
What’s the difference between a recliner chair and a standard armchair?
A recliner chair allows you to adjust the backrest and footrest to find a more relaxed position, while a standard armchair remains fixed. Recliners are designed for extended comfort rather than upright seating alone.
Are power recliner chairs better than manual recliners?
Power recliners offer smooth, controlled adjustment at the touch of a button, while manual recliners rely on body movement or a lever. The best choice depends on how often you plan to recline and the level of adjustability you prefer.
Do recliner chairs need extra space behind them?
Some recliner chairs require clearance behind the chair to fully recline, while others are designed to work closer to a wall. Checking the recline mechanism and overall depth helps ensure a good fit in your room.
What features should I look for in a recliner chair?
Common features include adjustable headrests, footrests, lumbar support, and swivel bases. Choosing the right features depends on how you like to sit and the level of support you want.
Do you stock recliner chairs from brands like Ercol and Stressless?
Yes, Gillies offers recliner chairs from leading brands such as Ercol, Himolla, Parker Knoll, Stressless, Ego Italiano and G Plan, giving you trusted options across different styles, sizes and comfort features.
