A reclining loveseat is an excellent seating option for your living room. It is less expensive than a reclining sofa or sectional but offers more reclining seating than a recliner chair built for one. If you’ve been caught in a sofa vs loveseat debate, a loveseat recliner is a great first step into the world of reclining furniture.
The defining feature of a reclining loveseat is its combination of an adjustable backrest and footrest, so that you can maneuver it into your preferred position. Reclining loveseats may be adjusted by power or manual reclining mechanisms, depending on the couch you choose. Keep reading for four benefits of owning a reclining loveseat and an overview of their price range.
✅ Maximum Comfort
The most obvious benefit of choosing a reclining loveseat for your living room is the comfort it adds to your space. Reclining furniture adjusts to whatever position you prefer, whether that’s sitting up, lying down, or something in between. It easily changes positions, so that the next person to sit down can customize it to their liking with no problem. If you want to create a living room that is great for lounging, reclining furniture is the way to go.
✅ Pressure- and Pain-Relieving
Reclining sofas offer lumbar support, which relieves pressure on your lower back and promotes proper alignment. With their adjustable positions, quality reclining furniture helps relieve pressure by distributing your body weight evenly, reducing stress on your spine, and allowing your muscles to relax. You can elevate your feet while saving you the space of having an ottoman. Being able to elevate your legs can help increase blood circulation, and if you have limited mobility, reclining furniture aids your ability to change positions and move from sitting or lying to standing.
✅ Various Finishes
You can find reclining loveseats in all kinds of finishes and colors. Like a splurge? Explore luxurious Italian leather—there plenty of reclining loveseats to choose from.
The majority of loveseats come in neutral shades like brown, beige, and gray, but there are bold and fun colors available as well. Need something more every day? Upholstered loveseats are a classic option. Fabric is a great choice for high traffic living rooms and families with kids and pets because they are easier to keep clean.
✅ Bonus Features
A reclining loveseat may feature a center console with a central armrest, storage compartment, and cup holders. Some models feature a USB port so you can utilize your devices while they’re charging. Other models may be “zero gravity recliners,” which refers to the ability to extend your recliner until it lays completely flat. Another popular option is a “wall hugger recliner,” which can be placed close to the wall because when you engage the reclining mechanism, the chair actually moves forward.
✅ Price Range
Reclining loveseats range in price from just under $600 to over $6,000 (based on selections in our catalog). However, we also offer reclining loveseats on clearance. The average entry level reclining sofa is closer to $1,000. As a general rule, power and leather reclining loveseats are more expensive than manual and fabric options. Other details like tufting, extra padding, extra cup holders, and various bonus features can add to the price as well.
Other Rooms in the Home That Suit a Loveseat
The living room isn’t the only place for a reclining loveseat! These seating arrangements add comfort to any room, making it a great place to gather with friends and relax or to snuggle up alone and wind down. This makes them a great option for a cozy den, reading nook, game room, playroom, or movie room. A reclining loveseat with cup holders and plush armrests can make you feel like you're in a movie theater. On the other hand, if you’re looking to add a sophisticated leather piece to your office or library, a leather recliner loveseat is a luxurious choice.
6 Styles of Reclining Loveseats & Our Top Picks
There are several types of loveseats, and we’re going to highlight six styles, along with our favorite picks in each category from Colder’s.
Glider Loveseat Recliner
A glider moves forward and backward on a linear track. This soothing motion adds to the comfort of this type of double recliner loveseat. It is a popular choice for nursing mothers who may prefer the gentle movement and plush cushioning over a traditional rocking chair, but just about any lounger will appreciate the gentle lull a glider loveseat offers.
✔ We Recommend: Leather Italia Georgetowne Broadway Brown Power Console Loveseat
Shop This Leather Recliner Loveseat
This leather glider from Leather Italia is a sleek and sophisticated reclining loveseat perfect for a transitional living room. You can enjoy the soothing back and forth gliding motion or lay this recliner completely flat, which can offer another sleeping option for guests. Style and convenience are both on display with the deep brown leather and bonus features like power reclining, USB port, cup holders, and center console.
Power Loveseat Recliner
A power reclining loveseat allows you to change positions with the touch of a button. These seats often feature USB ports for convenient charging as well. Just keep in mind that a powered loveseat recliner is that you’re limited in where you can place it in the room. It needs to be near an outlet, so you’ll likely need to position it near a wall rather than in the center of your space. Otherwise, adding a power recliner loveseat is great way to upgrade the comfort of your favorite lounging area without taking up too much space.
✔ We Recommend: The Flexsteel Cody Dark Brown Power Reclining Loveseat with Power Headrests
Shop This Power Reclining Loveseat
If you have a picture in your mind of reclining furniture being a bit clunky, this power reclining loveseat will dispel that myth! It is a sleek, modern take on a reclining loveseat that feels pared down and refined. We love the simple lines and dark brown, almost black, leather. It’s also available in a sophisticated shade of blue, if you’re looking to make a statement in your living room.
Leather Loveseat
Leather is a premium finish that instantly enhances your space. It comes in many different colors from black to brown to camel or even colored leather hues such as red and blue. Leather loveseats can be butter soft and just as cozy as fabric loveseats. But here’s the catch: There are different levels of leather. For example, faux leather is actually a synthetic material that looks similar to the real thing but is not as durable. On the other hand, top-grain and genuine leather last a long time, but they require more maintenance and are more expensive. Either way, leather is a stunning look on a loveseat—see for yourself below!
✔ We Recommend: Leather Italia Portland Desert Power Reclining Loveseat
This desert brown loveseat adds warmth to your space and would be great for a boho or farmhouse design with its inviting feel. It could also work well in a contemporary or transitional space because of its simple, clean lines. Both people seated in this loveseat can adjust their chair according to their preferences, and each person gets two armrests for the ultimate lounging experience. Best of all, Leather Italia only uses premium materials, so if you’re looking to indulge on a loveseat, this is a must-see.
Rocker Loveseat
Similar to a glider, a rocker moves backward and forward, but it is more of an arcing movement, but it doesn’t move side to side like a swivel chair. This is another great option for nursing mothers or others who enjoy the soothing nature of rocking back and forth. A recliner can be a source of stress relief for many and the rocking motion can increase your feeling of calm.
✔ We Recommend: Best Home Furnishings Unity Power Reclining Rocker Loveseat with Console
If you are trying to create a cozy and inviting living room or find your ultimate snuggle spot, this rocker recliner loveseat might be what you’ve been searching for. Plush padding and a soft fabric finish make this the perfect place to curl up with a good book. You can choose the blue gray fabric pictured above with its double shirred lines that add a bit of texture to your space, or you can choose from over 700 fabric options, including top-grain leather in a variety of colors. Either way, you can settle in and rock your worries away.
Console Loveseat
A reclining loveseat with console typically features a centerpiece with two cup holders and a storage compartment that is topped with a plush armrest. In a living room, movie room, or game room, a console loveseat allows you to keep your drinks close at hand while watching a movie or the big game. That’s why you’ll commonly see one of these furniture pieces in media rooms.
✔ We Recommend: England Furniture EZ Motion Double Reclining Console Loveseat
This reclining loveseat with console is soft to the touch and extra padded for optimum comfort. It features manual reclining, so you can adjust your seat to your preference with a side lever. One sit and you’ll feel the difference of sinuous wire support and poly fiber cushioning that cradle the body in ultimate comfort. Available in a variety of color options, this is a great match for a number of design directions, so it makes a great neutral backdrop for your favorite style.
Manual Reclining Loveseat
Manual recliners require you to adjust the chair using a handle and leveraging your weight to move it into position. If you’re looking to purchase a reclining loveseat on a budget, a manual recliner can offer an affordable option that is still easy for most to maneuver. Additionally, unlike power reclining loveseats, manual loveseat recliners are not chained to an outlet, so there’s more design flexibility with one of these loveseats.
✔ We Recommend: Best Home Furnishings Bodie Reclining Space Saver Loveseat with Console
Shop This Manual Reclining Loveseat
This manual recliner loveseat may not feature power reclining, but it is extra plush and comes with a console complete with cup holders and a storage compartment. Curved cushions and armrests give this a more traditional or transitional feel, but it would also be a good fit for a farmhouse or coastal design because of its warm beige upholstery. Style this loveseat however you like with a variety of color and upholstery options to suit your unique taste.
Reclining loveseats are a popular option for living rooms where families really live, laugh, and rest together. Everyone can adjust their spot to their preferred position, and a reclining loveseat makes room so more people can have a cozy place to sit or lay down.
