Try a Recliner Sofa, and You’ll Never Go Back

A reclining sofa allows you to relax completely in the most comfortable position, as your legs recline and chair fully supports your back and neck. Once you try a reclining sofa, you’ll never want to go back to a boring lounge or ordinary sofa again.

The first thing most people do once settled in after coming in from a long day at work is sit or lay down on the couch and watch TV. Sitting after a long day is not as comfortable as laying down, but laying down often makes it uncomfortable to watch TV because your head is now at a sideways angle. The best way to relax and get comfortable is to have a reclining sofa. It is more luxurious than a traditional sofa and much more comfortable.

On a regular sofa, one typically sits at a 90 degree angle. This is stiff, rigid, and doesn’t promote relaxation. To settle in, you will have to put your feet up on the couch or on the coffee table. The backing of the sofa is not high enough or comfortable enough to cradle your head. Also, a regular sofa will not be comfortable for everyone because of size. A smaller person sitting on a deep couch will feel uncomfortable because their feet will be hanging off the edge if they settle in to relax. A taller person on a small couch will feel awkward, as if they don’t have enough space to settle in.

Recliner sofas are completely adjustable to the angles you prefer and offers greater back support and comfort. They also have special features like headrests and footrests, to further promote relaxation and relieve stress. With newer models, you can choose to sit on the recliner and have the footrest up without leaning back and vice versa. Many recliner sofas now also come with trays and drink holders, so you don’t have to get up or reach over to get your game snacks. If you are looking for the ultimate in luxury, some recliners come with heating and massaging elements. This is great for the elderly and for the just plain tired working folks. You can come home to a massage every night!

When you have guests over, the sofa is completely functional and allows you to entertain more formally. But, when your guests leave, the recliner allows you to relieve yourself of formality and settle into comfortable lounging. You might get so comfortable that you fall asleep.

Falling asleep on a recliner sofa is better than sleeping on a regular sofa and waking up with a cramped neck. Once you’ve felt the ultimate relaxation and luxury that comes with a reclining sofa, you will never go back to that uncomfortable couch again!
