This reading chair recliner combines the luxurious comfort of a traditional recliner with the neat, tailored aesthetics of contemporary furniture, making it a versatile addition to any room.
Designed to optimize space, the Brooks Wall Recliner features a chaise seat and leg rest, providing continuous comfort from seat to feet. The smaller arm posts and thinner arm pads contribute to a stylish, streamlined look that does not compromise on comfort but offers a more refined silhouette.
Similarly, the thinner back design presents a less overstuffed appearance, aligning with modern design preferences for sleeker, more understated furniture. This recliner requires only about 7 inches of clearance from a wall to fully recline, thanks to its innovative forward-moving recline function.

As an invitingly oversized chair and a half, it offers ample space to unwind, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a comfortable, yet sophisticated seating option to read in.
At the heart of the Laurel Chair & a Half's exceptional comfort is the patented ComfortCore® cushion. This advanced cushioning system is designed with multiple layers that provide varying levels of support to different areas of the seat. This ensures that softer support is provided where more cushioning is needed, like at the back of the knees, and firmer support where more weight is applied, ensuring the chair maintains its shape and comfort over time.
The cushion is further enhanced with double-picked blown fiber fill, which not only adds an extra layer of plushness but also contributes to the chair's lasting shape retention and durability.
The design features of the Laurel Chair & a Half include padded outer arms and a padded outer back, which add to the overall comfort and aesthetic appeal, making it a cozy spot to relax and read. The inclusion of one 18-inch accent pillow offers an additional touch of style and comfort, providing an opportunity to introduce a contrasting color or texture to your room's decor.
