Promising review: "A friend had this chair, and when I sat in it, I knew I had to get it! It's soooo comfortable and reclines amazingly! The assembly was so easy! So happy with my purchase." —Kaitlyn

Get it from Amazon for $379 (available in two colors).

Get it from Pottery Barn for $1,039+ (available in two sizes, with or without nailhead detailing, and in several colors/fabric options).

Promising review: "I'm really impressed with the quality and comfort of this chair. It's solidly built and looks great. I'm 5'10", 200 lbs, and this chair fits me perfectly. Total time out of the box and fully assembled was about 5 minutes, and no tools are needed. In the fully reclined position, you're almost lying flat. I bought this chair for my bedroom, but because of the great price, I plan to get a couple more for the living room. I highly recommend this chair." —Gregory Powers

Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in three fabric options and 15 colors).

Promising review: "A wonderful midcentury modern Japandi recliner for our living room. Complements the sofa and ottoman also by Article nicely. Low key, simple, elegant. Assembly was super simple - no tools required. Reclines to two positions. The position in the photo is the first position. There is a second more fully laid-back position. Beautiful piece of furniture if you’re looking for that Japandi style." —Neil B.

Get it from Article for $999+ (available in two fabric options and two colors).

Promising review: "It's just gorgeous and super classy. What a great purchase! It's cozy, comfortable, and perfect for our space. So much so that we are going to purchase a second one, so we don't have to fight over who gets to sit in it. It's a good size, but not too big. Our older recliner almost seemed bigger even though it was not as wide as this one. Very happy with our purchase!" —Laura

Get it from Wayfair for $719.99+ (originally $1,047; available in nine colors).

Promising review: "This chair is so comfortable. The moment you sit down in it, your tension leaves your body. Previously, I could never fall asleep in a chair. However, I put my feet up, wrapped them up in a blanket, and leaned back, and I was in dreamland. I love my new chair!!" –Margaret M

Get it from La-Z-Boy for $1,639+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I searched over a period of months for a recliner that was not too big as I had a small space. This chair is AMAZING!!!! First, it was assembled in three minutes. The back snaps on to the bottom with two clicks; the chair legs screw on in seconds, and the fabric of the chair is very high end. If I could, I would give this 10 stars. The chair is very comfortable and when you change positions, the chair stays in place (I have had chairs that with the slightest movement, it would return to a sitting position). I highly recommend this chair." —vigi

Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in three fabrics and eight colors).

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this recliner! I find myself in it often after a long day on my feet, and I can’t wait to use it once my little is finally here. The electric button to recline will be helpful when the baby is sleeping and I want to lean back without waking him with abrupt and loud movements. It is extremely comfortable, and looks great in the nursery as well. Would be a great recliner for your living room too. I definitely recommend it, and believe it’s worth the price!" —Dani

"We were surprised at what good quality this chair was for the price. It fits well in the space, runs smoothly, and quietly. We ordered a second one for my husband." —Sharon French

Promising review: "I felt like a change was needed and wanted to redecorate stylishly, comfortably and affordably. I ordered two of these chairs in dark brown leather. It’s been two years and I still love my chairs. They were easy to put together. Everything is holding up well and still looks good." —Robin

It comes with a separate ottoman so you can put your feet up while you relax! There's also a wireless controller that features five pre-programmed massages, nine intensity levels, and two modes.

Promising review: "It's perfect! It's big enough for a larger person but doesn't take up a lot of space. The massage settings are great and it doesn't beat you up like some of the massage chairs. It's more of a gentle to stronger vibration with heat. There are settings to turn the ottoman on and off too. Easy to assemble! No issues! I love it!" —McDonnells

Get it from Amazon for $229.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I love this chair and it's perfect in this spot. Not too big, comfortable and love the color." —Pamela Siddock

Promising review: "These recliners are very roomy and super comfortable without taking up a lot of space. The recliners look great in the area I have them in and achieve the look I wanted. I love the fabric and the print. It was exactly what was pictured. They are just as described and I would definitely order them again. Assembly was super easy." —Kathleen

Get it from Wayfair for $359.99+ (available in 21 colors).

Promising review: "This chair is exactly as described. It's almost hard to tell it's not leather. I didn't want to spend at least twice that for a leather chair that might look a little better but would make me really upset when my dog jumped up on it and scratched it. In fact, she has already jumped on it, and the scratch didn't show. Success! It is very comfortable, doesn't take up too much room, and the initial recline is modest so I'm not sitting too far back to raise the footrest." —Joann

Get it from Amazon for $197.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I was looking for oversize and plush. This is it. Just sink into it like a cloud. Very easy to sleep in. Love the color green. Put together in less than 5 minutes. No tools are needed. If I had the space, I would also buy a white one. That would be perfect for a large bedroom." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought two of these recliners and I must say they are just what I ordered. The size, the fabric, the easy assembly, and the I love the ease when reclining. They fit perfectly in my space and I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Thank you Wayfair!" —Faye

Get it from Wayfair for $389.99+ (originally $899.90; available in four fabrics).

Promising review: "We got this chair for a guest room where our son and his wife stayed with their baby. We needed a glider rocker for her while she nursed the baby. They went away for the day, and we used the chair as well while feeding baby a bottle. It not only was extremely comfortable, it was soft, waterproof, quiet, and even had a recliner feature. Honestly, we're considering getting another one for a different room. Easy to put together, and quality made. Perfect for small corners, and it's sleek and beautiful." —Gloria G. Stoudt

Promising review: "This is a must-have for pregnancy and after baby! Even my husband has enjoyed a few naps on this. The swivel/rocker is super quiet and effortless. The power recliner is also very quiet and works perfectly. I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect recliner, and I’m glad I chose this one! 100% recommend" —MsN.
