50 Modern Recliners That Aren’t Hideous (2024)
Confession time. As a designer I’ve always turned my nose up at recliners. The very word conjures up an image of a guy with a potbelly hanging out of a shirt that’s a bit too short hollering for someone to bring him another beer.
One time a design client excitedly showed me the brand new recliner sofa they had just bought… and it even had cup holders! Woohoo! I thought, as a small piece of me died on the inside.
But for all their unsightliness, recliners are pretty darn comfortable. Plus they allow you to put your feet up without taking up the added space of an ottoman. And, I’m actually considering buying two of them for my living room. There I said it.
But these are not your grandpa’s recliners. I’ve rounded up my favorite modern recliners with decent reviews (I have not actually sat my butt in all of these chairs). I’ve organized them by budget, starting under $150. And I hope it goes without saying that a $150 recliner isn’t likely to serve as your main chair for the next 20 years, but it might be great for a few. Happy shopping!
