    What Is a Double Recliner?

     The England Furniture EZ9Z00 collection recliner sofa, loveseat, and chair in a living room

    A double recliner has a dual reclining mechanism on two seats rather than just one. For the ultimate in comfort and control, a double recliner sofa or loveseat is the perfect lounge furniture to create a cozy living room. They are available in fabric and leather finishes. Some feature a center console with cupholders, and all of our top picks feature power controls.

    First, let’s differentiate between sofas, couches, and loveseats. If you don’t opt for a sectional, you’ll likely have both a sofa and loveseat in your living room. Larger living rooms offer the option of even more seating with the addition of an armchair, chair and a half, or recliner.

    • Sofas and couches are the same thing, so these words can be used interchangeably. The term refers to a standard, three-seat sofa that is usually around 38 inches deep by 90 inches wide.
    • Loveseats are smaller. They are two-seaters that measure around 38 inches deep by 60 inches wide.
    • Double recliners are available in both sizes, so you can choose a dual reclining loveseat or a dual reclining couch. It is important to consider not only the standard measurements for sofas and loveseats, but to consider the measurements of an extended recliner. You need space to move your coffee table further into the room and to move your sofa far enough away from the wall that you can recline back as far as you’d like.

    Benefits of a Double Recliner

    A double recliner is a great choice for families who love to linger and relax in the living room. Whether your people want to take a nap, work on homework in a cozy spot, or watch TV, a double recliner loveseat or sofa invites everyone to congregate in the same room.

    A double recliner offers health benefits as well. It is an excellent choice for those with circulation issues because they can prop their feet up. Double recliners offer enhanced lumbar support and more positions to find a comfortable angle for your neck. They evenly distribute your weight more efficiently, which increases blood flow and reduces pain, aches, and stiffness. And did you know that reclining and stretching out at the end of the day can be a great stress reliever?

    Top 3 Double Recliner Loveseats

    Two seat recliner loveseats are perfect for smaller spaces or as part of a set with a double couch recliner. Whether you are looking for a light neutral or dark, deep tone, Colder’s has a dual power reclining loveseat for you. A fabric double recliner loveseat might be better for families with young kids, while a leather dual reclining loveseat is an investment that will last you for the long haul.

    FAQs

    How long do recliner couches last?

    Double recliners typically last for seven to 15 years and up to 20 years for leather recliners, with proper care.

    What are the disadvantages of a recliner sofa?

    The major disadvantage of a recliner sofa is the space requirement needed for fully reclining. They aren’t a great option for tight spaces. They tend to be more expensive than traditional sofas, but if you have the space, their many pros make them worth the investment.

    Can I sleep in my recliner?

    It’s fine to take a nap in your recliner, but prolonged and consistent nights spent sleeping in your recliner can lead to tight hips, calves, and hamstrings as well as poor posture.

    You can create the perfect lounge space in your own home with a double recliner loveseat or sofa–or both. In the midst of the busyness of life, we can forget to slow down and relax.
