1. A stylish boucle recliner if you *must* be able to recline but simply cannot pass up the opportunity to snag another piece of (compact) fuzzy furniture. Comfort, style, and affordability? I'm in.
Promising review: "The chair was very good quality ESPECIALLY when considering the price. It is sturdy and comfortable. The form factor keeps it from taking up too much space. It works comfortably for kids to someone at least 6 feet tall. It is sturdy but lightweight. Therefore, it is easy to move in, out, and around. This is for a casual room, vacation home, nursing home, etc., where you're going for utility vs elegance. If it breaks or gets blemished in a few years, you are out a lot less money than the expensive recliner that will break or get blemished in a few years." —NotMarkTwain
Get it from Amazon for $84.99.
2. A striking velvet reclining armchair with square arms and removable tapered legs when you have limited space but still want a bold piece of furniture that'll provide endless hours of unplanned snoozing.
Get it from Pottery Barn for $1,169+ (originally $1,299+; available in two sizes, with or without nailhead detailing, and in several colors/fabric options).
3. A budget-friendly PU leather recliner chair because sometimes you have very little room to spare but still need a chair with your name on it. This chair is less than 21 inches wide so it'll fit into the tiniest spaces with ease!
Promising review: "I'm really impressed with the quality and comfort of this chair. It's solidly built and looks great. I'm 5'10", 200 lbs, and this chair fits me perfectly. Total time out of the box and fully assembled was about 5 minutes, and no tools are needed. In the fully reclined position, you're almost lying flat. I bought this chair for my bedroom, but because of the great price, I plan to get a couple more for the living room. I highly recommend this chair." —Gregory Powers

4. A splurge-worthy Article mid-century modern recliner with walnut legs for accomplishing the impossible — you'll maintain your home's flawless aesthetic while still being the proud owner of a recliner chair. Who would've thought??
Promising review: "A wonderful midcentury modern Japandi recliner for our living room. Complements the sofa and ottoman also by Article nicely. Low key, simple, elegant. Assembly was super simple - no tools required. Reclines to two positions. The position in the photo is the first position. There is a second more fully laid-back position. Beautiful piece of furniture if you’re looking for that Japandi style." —Neil B.

5. A gorgeous upholstered power recliner to elevate your space with a ~cool~ accent chair that won't take up a lot of room. You can recline with the push of a button and the swivel base turns a full 360 degrees!
Promising review: "It's just gorgeous and super classy. What a great purchase! It's cozy, comfortable, and perfect for our space. So much so that we are going to purchase a second one, so we don't have to fight over who gets to sit in it. It's a good size, but not too big. Our older recliner almost seemed bigger even though it was not as wide as this one. Very happy with our purchase!" —Laura

6. A classic La-Z-Boy rocking recliner if you're perfectly content with the look and feel of a traditional recliner. Falling into those plush cushions at the end of the day will feel like a giant warm hug — or as one reviewer put it: a bed of marshmallows!
Promising review: "You'll feel like you're sitting on a bed of marshmallows plus you have great back support. La-Z-Boy has always been my go-to manufacturer of recliners. Got the manual recline and am very happy with how smoothly it works. 'Bucket seat' makes it even more comfy and you can recline all the way without too much effort to get it open. Love love it!!" –Susan
Get it from Wayfair for $999.99+ (originally $1,049; available in colors walnut or charcoal).
7. A reclining sofa chair that'll fit perfectly in the vacant but small corner of your living room you've been trying to fill. Bonus points: it has a lumbar vibration and massage function, so you can really kick back and relax.
Promising review: "I searched over a period of months for a recliner that was not too big as I had a small space. This chair is AMAZING!!!! First, it was assembled in three minutes. The back snaps on to the bottom with two clicks; the chair legs screw on in seconds, and the fabric of the chair is very high end. If I could, I would give this 10 stars. The chair is very comfortable and when you change positions, the chair stays in place (I have had chairs that with the slightest movement, it would return to a sitting position). I highly recommend this chair." —vigi
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two styles and six colors).
8. A power recliner swivel glider for anyone who demands comfort and convenience. This one will deliver — it has a 270-degree swivel and a push-button recline function that's smooth *and* quiet. Oh, and there are built-in USB charging ports. Reviewers love using this as a nursery chair!
Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this recliner! I find myself in it often after a long day on my feet, and I can’t wait to use it once my little is finally here. The electric button to recline will be helpful when the baby is sleeping and I want to lean back without waking him with abrupt and loud movements. It is extremely comfortable, and looks great in the nursery as well. Would be a great recliner for your living room too. I definitely recommend it, and believe it’s worth the price!" —Dani
"We were surprised at what good quality this chair was for the price. It fits well in the space, runs smoothly, and quietly. We ordered a second one for my husband." —Sharon French
Get it from Amazon for $649.99+ (available in two styles and nine colors).
9. A timeless armchair recliner so you can relax and unwind after a long day *without* your chair actually looking like a recliner. This elegant armchair transforms into a pushback recliner for your comfort.
Promising review: "I felt like a change was needed and wanted to redecorate stylishly, comfortably and affordably. I ordered two of these chairs in dark brown leather. It’s been two years and I still love my chairs. They were easy to put together. Everything is holding up well and still looks good." —Robin

10. Or this two-seater reclining chair when you're willing to sacrifice a bit more space for a LOT more comfort. It's wider than a standard recliner, but it can also accommodate two people (up to 500 pounds), so it's *perf* for cuddling up with your partner to watch your fave rom-com.
Promising review: "I could not be happier with my setup in the studio. It reclines perfect and saves room. Perfect for couples, perfect for limited space. Perfect for yourself after a long day at work I can kick back and play games or cuddle with my girl when it’s movie night. Would buy over and over. Easy to assemble. Two pieces and that’s it." —Christopher

11. A reclining electric massage chair that'll be a real treat after spending hours on your feet and all you want to do is melt into oblivion.

It comes with a separate ottoman so you can put your feet up while you relax! There's also a wireless controller that features five pre-programmed massages, nine intensity levels, and two modes.
Promising review: "It's perfect! It's big enough for a larger person but doesn't take up a lot of space. The massage settings are great and it doesn't beat you up like some of the massage chairs. It's more of a gentle to stronger vibration with heat. There are settings to turn the ottoman on and off too. Easy to assemble! No issues! I love it!" —McDonnells
Get it from Amazon for $229.99 (available in colors brown and black).
12. A modern tufted recliner you'll probably want to spend all your spare time in when you experience the next-level comfort firsthand. Many reviewers ended up buying two because they loved the first one so much!
Promising review: "Was looking for a couple modern design recliners that didn’t look like your dad’s chair and wouldn’t swallow up my space. After looking at all the other options in ALL the local and chain stores, this chair was the one. The fabric and color are beautiful, it is well made and was easy to put together. I bought 'muted orange' and it’s just right – not too bright, halfway between tangerine and red. Would go with a variety of styles. It fits perfectly in my home. VERY comfortable reclined or upright. Easy to switch between positions. Highly recommend!" —LinGrad
Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in 14 colors and as a set of two).
13. A stunning leather recliner to tie your whole space together while also allowing yourself to indulge in a little maxin' and relaxin' whenever you feel like it. TBH, I've never seen a recliner that looks THIS good.
It's available in genuine leather *and* vegan leather!
Get it from West Elm for $799.20+ (originally $999+; available in four fabric options and two wood finishes).

15. A faux-leather recliner that all your guests will vie for. The MCM-inspired silhouette gives it a retro appeal that will make your space look stylish, while the padded cushions make it comfier than you can imagine.
16. A beyond cozy-looking convertible loveseat with an adjustable back *and* arms so you can make it into whatever you need, from a place to sleep to a place to binge Ted Lasso. Honestly, you'd have gladly paid double or triple for your new favorite piece of furniture.
Promising review: "Assembly consists of putting the legs on. I couldn’t have been happier. It is a great value and pretty sturdy. It has been a wonderful addition to the home office my daughter and I share, and the covering sheds pet fur nicely, which, given we have three dogs, is great because we don’t wear dog fur as soon as we sit down." —J Spillman
Get it from Amazon for $299.99.
