6 Best Swivel Recliner Styles for Comfortable Movement
If you’re a fan of reclining furniture, a swivel recliner variation on the classic function of a recliner. The swivel motion allows you to move side to side or turn in a full circle, making mobility easier than a regular recliner. A swivel recliner also makes a great accent chair and an affordable reclining option if you’ve been looking to make your living room a better place for lounging.
Benefits of Swivel Chairs & Recliners
What is a swivel recliner compared to a standard recliner, glider recliner, or rocker recliner? Standard recliners adjust positions and feature padded, adjustable headrests and footrests. This is true of all recliner styles. Glider recliners move forward and backward on a track, while rocker recliners move forward and backward in a rocking, arcing motion. A swivel recliner, on the other hand, has a wider range of motion that allows it to turn 360 degrees and move from side to side. Swivel recliner chairs offer full freedom to adjust positions, rock, sway, and move as you please.
There are many benefits to owning a swivel recliner, in addition to its wide range of motion. It is the perfect chair for lounging, helps create a more inviting living room, and offers a comfortable seating option for those who struggle with lower back pain and need pressure relief.
As you begin browsing swivel recliners, you’ll see there are many options available. It might help to know some of the key distinctions to help narrow your search:
- Manual vs Power Swivel Recliners: You can choose a manual swivel recliner that requires you to adjust positions with a handle or lever and use your weight to move the chair, or you can choose the ease of power reclining, which enables you to adjust positions at the touch of a button. One thing to keep in mind with power recliners, though, is that they must be placed near an outlet.
- Upholstered/Fabric vs Leather Swivel Recliner Chair: Many brands allow you to choose from a wide variety of fabrics and colors. As you create a design plan for your living room, consider whether a luxurious leather swivel recliner, unique velvet swivel recliner, or upholstered swivel recliner chairs is best for your space.
- Swivel Rocker Recliner Reviews: Researching online reviews is a great way to compare your favorite styles and see how highly they’re rated by real customers.
- Size: Some swivel recliners are larger than others, and many feature overstuffed padding ideal for lounging. You need to measure your space and plan your layout before you can decide on which recliner you want.
How to Style a Swivel Recliner in Your Home
Like an accent chair, a swivel recliner can be a great way to infuse personality into your space. While you may not feel bold enough to choose a blue couch, a blue recliner might be the perfect pop of color. While you may not have the budget for a matching leather sofa and loveseat, you may be able to splurge on a leather swivel recliner.
If you plan on utilizing your swivel recliner for watching television the majority of the time, make sure to plan your layout accordingly so you have good sightlines for the TV. On the other hand, if you want to create a gathering place and promote conversation, style your chair in a spot where you can easily make eye contact with those sitting on your other living room seating options. One of the best things about a swivel recliner is that you can shift and spin your chair, so you can easily flex the direction and orientation of your chair for different activities.
