What are the different kinds of recliners?

There are seven types of recliners:Traditional: A standard two-position chair that reclines when you push on the back. Traditional models also have a built-in footrest that pops up when you recline.Push-back: The same as a traditional, but without the built-in footrest. For these types, most people include an ottoman for their feet when the chair is fully reclined. Rockers: These models have the added feature of rocking back and forth, making them popular in nurseries.Power-operated: Electric motors allow for smooth and effortless reclining at the push of a button. Gliders: Similar to rockers, glider models are more linear and provide a smoother horizontal motion. Swivel: These recliners offer 360-degree rotation for maximum flexibility in positioning.Lift: As the name suggests, these models have a mechanism that tilts the chair up and forward, helping those with mobility issues stand up.

How much space do I need for a recliner?

The amount of space you'll need for a recliner depends on how and where you want to use it and the extent of its reclining mechanism. For example, if you only use it in a home office or bedroom, you could put it against a wall without taking up much space. On the other, recliners can make great focal points in a room with more space. Leave between 1 and 3 feet of space behind your recliner so it doesn't hit the wall when fully extended. You also need to take into account other features, such as rocking or a swivel, when determining space for a recliner.
