Explore recliner chairs online at Vartiss Store in manual, electric, power-lift, massage, heated and swivel designs. The current collection includes recliners upholstered in fabric, faux linen, velvet, suede-look materials and PU or faux leather, with different reclining mechanisms, dimensions and user weight limits.
A recliner can provide an adjustable seating position for reading, watching television or relaxing at home, but not every chair operates in the same way. Some use a manual lever or body-weight mechanism, while others use powered controls. Selected models also include lift assistance, massage, heating, cup holders, storage pockets, USB charging or swivel functions.
Recliners form part of our broader Living Room Furniture collection. For full-size chairs focused more extensively on roller massage, air compression and multiple automatic massage programs, you can also browse Massage Chairs.
Before ordering, compare more than the colour and upholstery. Recliners need sufficient room to operate and can differ considerably in seat dimensions, recline range, control type and additional functions.
Important details to check include:
Use the individual product specifications and instructions as the final reference before purchasing.
Manual recliners operate without an electric reclining motor. Depending on the design, the mechanism may use a lever, handle or body movement to extend the footrest and adjust the seating position.
Manual recliners can vary in how far they recline and how much force is required to operate the mechanism. Check the product-specific operating method before ordering.
Allow adequate space behind and in front of the chair so the backrest and footrest can move freely without contacting a wall, table or other furniture.
Electric recliners use powered controls to adjust the chair position. Depending on the model, controls may operate the backrest, footrest or both.
Some current electric recliners also include convenience features such as USB charging ports, cup holders, side pockets or LED lighting.
For a powered recliner:
Power-lift recliners use an electric mechanism that can raise and tilt the chair forward as well as recline it backwards.
The lift angle and operating range vary between models. Selected current chairs specify lift positions of approximately 45 degrees, while recline angles can also differ.
A lift function may assist some users with changing between sitting and standing positions, but suitability depends on the individual user, chair dimensions and operating instructions. A power-lift recliner should not be treated as a medical device unless the specific product is certified and marketed as one.
Before choosing a lift recliner, check:
Selected recliners include built-in vibration massage functions. Depending on the chair, massage points may be positioned around the back, waist, thighs or other areas.
Program type, number of massage points, intensity levels and control systems vary. Some chairs include multiple massage zones or selectable settings, while others provide a simpler vibration function.
If full-body roller massage, SL-track systems, air compression and more advanced automatic programs are your priority, consider the dedicated Massage Chairs category as well.
Selected massage and power-lift recliners include heating, commonly around the lumbar or lower-back area. Heating coverage and settings vary by model.
Use only the heating system built into the chair and follow the supplied instructions. Do not add external heating pads, electric blankets or similar devices unless the manufacturer specifically permits their use with the recliner.
Stop using the heat function if it causes discomfort.
Selected recliners include a swivel base, allowing the chair to rotate as well as recline.
These designs need more clearance than a fixed chair because both the reclining movement and the rotation of the chair must be considered.
Before ordering, measure the area around the full chair and make sure armrests, backrests and footrests cannot strike nearby walls, tables or other furniture during use.
Selected recliner chairs are supplied with a matching ottoman or footrest rather than an integrated extending footrest.
When choosing this style, measure the combined floor area required by both pieces. Check the stated capacity and intended use of the ottoman separately rather than assuming it can be used as a seat.
Some current recliners include additional practical features such as cup holders, side pockets, storage compartments, flexible phone holders or USB charging.
These features vary between models and should not be assumed across the range.
Where USB charging or another powered accessory is included, follow the electrical specifications and do not allow liquids from cup holders to contact electrical controls or connections.
The current Recliners collection includes a variety of upholstery types.
Fabric and faux linen designs offer woven surface textures in several colours. Fibre composition and cleaning requirements vary by product.
Selected models use velvet or suede-look upholstery. These materials can change appearance depending on lighting, pile direction and viewing angle.
PU and faux leather recliners provide a smooth synthetic surface. Use cleaning methods appropriate for the particular upholstery and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners unless specifically permitted.
Do not assume that a product described as “leather” is genuine leather unless the material specification clearly confirms it.
A recliner needs more space than its upright dimensions suggest.
Check the complete width and depth of the chair and allow normal walking clearance around it.
Some recliners extend significantly forward when the footrest opens and backward when the backrest reclines. Use fully reclined measurements where they are supplied.
Power-lift chairs tilt upward and forward, so clear space is required in front of the chair as well as behind it.
Swivel recliners require clearance around the sides and back because the entire chair may rotate.
Do not rely only on descriptions such as compact or apartment-friendly. Compare actual upright and reclined dimensions.
For a smaller room, consider:
A narrow recliner may still require substantial depth once opened.
Maximum supported user weight varies between recliners. Sampled current models include capacities around 150kg, but this should never be assumed for every chair.
Seat width, depth and height also influence how a recliner feels to sit in. Where these measurements are supplied, compare them with the user's preferred seating position rather than looking only at the external chair dimensions.
Never exceed the stated weight capacity.
Assembly requirements differ between models. Some recliners require backrests, armrests, bases or electrical connections to be fitted, while others may arrive largely assembled.
For safer setup:
Recliners contain moving mechanisms that require clear space and careful operation.
Product-specific safety instructions should always take priority over general category guidance.
Recliners and power-lift chairs are consumer furniture products. Massage, heating and lift features should not be treated as substitutes for medical diagnosis, treatment, physiotherapy or mobility assessment.
If you are choosing a chair because of reduced mobility, recent surgery, a musculoskeletal condition, an implanted medical device or another health consideration, seek appropriate professional advice where necessary before relying on a recliner for assistance.
Stop using massage, heating or lift functions if they cause pain, dizziness, numbness or unusual discomfort.
Care requirements depend on the upholstery, frame, mechanism and electrical components of the individual chair.
