Do you have a favorite chair you can't part with? Recliners are extremely popular for their practicality and comfort. Although not the most beautiful chair, just add a fleece throw blanket or even a mink blanket, and they offer benefits that a lot of others can't offer. They offer the benefits that a chair and an ottoman can offer and take little space in the process. They're usually constructed with one of three mechanisms and allow the ottoman to extend in the back to recline. Remember that if you're considering purchasing a new recliner, new furniture can be expensive. There are several options such as reupholstering, or simply covering it up using slipcovers or even using that fleece throw blanket.

Less expensive chairs, as a rule, only allow you to open the chair into a reading position and with the ottoman in a fully-reclined position. These chairs usually require more space for them to be opened, and allow your feet to be raised above your heart. More recent designs allow for the back to break away and operate independently of the ottoman. Recliners can offer you multi-position mechanisms that will open forward so the chair can be placed against or in very close proximity to the wall. If you have a sectional sofa why not purchase a recliner that matches it or other pieces of furniture in the room. Mink blankets or wholesale fleece blankets can be used to coordinate and bring colors together.

As a rule, the reclining mechanism is operated with the aid of a button or handle. You'll find a couple of trade names that are common such as WallSaver and WallLounger. If you've opened the chair into a reading position with the ottoman at a good position, it can be adjusted to recline to any degree by pulling the arms forward. You'll also find that some chairs have a rocker mechanism, which is a multi-position mechanism that allows you to rock until the recliner is opened. More space is required behind a chair of this design.
