If you are shopping for a power reclining loveseat, you are usually solving one of two problems: you want two reclining seats without the footprint of a full sofa, or a shared seat where each person can still pick their own angle. In the store, couples kept coming back to this format after sitting in […]

A recliner with extended footrest support earns its name only when your heels still have something under them once the legrest is up. I spent more than ten years selling, assembling, and repairing recliners, and the complaint I heard most from taller customers was that their feet hung off the end of the legrest with […]
A recliner motor replacement is a job most owners can handle themselves, and it is far cheaper than scrapping a chair over a part that costs less than a hundred dollars. I spent more than ten years selling, assembling, and repairing power recliners, and about half the chairs brought to me with a dead motor […]
If you want the best lay flat recliner without scrolling through a hundred listings, start with the LITVZ 180-degree lift recliner for a true flat position, the DYNOX 9188 if you are average height, and the MCombo R7891 if you need a big-and-tall frame. I spent more than ten years selling, assembling, and repairing recliners […]
If you want the best lift chair without reading through a hundred listings, start with the MCombo 7755 for the smoothest dual-motor lift and true lay-flat sleeping, the MCombo 7099 if you’re tall, and the Flamaker if the budget decides. I spent more than ten years selling, assembling, and repairing recliners on a store floor, […]

I spent more than ten years selling, assembling, and repairing recliners on a furniture store floor, and the built-in holder […]
An electric recliner not working is almost never a dead motor, and it is almost never a reason to buy a new chair. In my years on the store floor and repairing power chairs in the workshop, maybe nine out of ten calls came down to the same short list: a tripped power supply, a […]
The short answer on how to disassemble a recliner is that the back comes off first, and on most chairs it lifts straight up out of two brackets once you release a clip. The base and the seat usually stay bolted together, and you only separate them when a doorway is too tight or a […]
The best heavy duty recliner for most people is one that publishes a real weight capacity and backs it up with a reinforced frame and a heavier mechanism, because those are the parts that keep a chair from creaking and sagging under a larger body. I spent more than ten years on the sales floor […]
A home theater recliner is the one chair where the extras actually matter. After a decade selling and setting up recliners in the store, I can tell you the difference between a chair that gets used every movie night and one that ends up parked against the wall: it comes down to how the recline […]
