Recliners are the most comfortable pieces in a home. Since there are so many options in the South Texas areas, it’s important to ensure the recliner you get is the right choice for you.
If you’re looking for a new recliner at the moment, keep in mind that there are different types of recliners to choose from. Rocking recliners, gliding recliners, and wall recliners are all available options, and it’s important to know the differences to find the right fit for you.
Wait, what is a wall recliner?
Wall recliners, also known as wall hugger recliners, are very unique that can fit perfectly into a smaller space. To get the full picture of what a wall recliner is, this article will walk you through a full breakdown of wall recliners.
Wall recliners, sometimes known as the wall away recliner, are a space-saving, innovative seating option that allows you to enjoy the comfort of a full recline without needing the extensive clearance of traditional recliners.
Designed to be placed just a few inches from the wall, wall hugging recliners employ a forward-gliding mechanism that allows the seat to recline without pushing the back into the wall. This makes wall recliners ideal for smaller living spaces, such as apartments, bedrooms, or any room where floor space is at a premium.
One of the standout features of a zero wall recliner is their ability to deliver maximum comfort in a compact footprint. While they require less space, they do not compromise on comfort or functionality. These recliners offer the same plush cushioning, ergonomic support, and reclining options as traditional recliners.
Many models at La-Z-Boy South Texas include additional features like lumbar support, headrest adjustments, and even power reclining mechanisms that allow you to effortlessly recline with the push of a button.
Wall recliners are available in a wide range of styles, from contemporary to classic, allowing them to seamlessly fit into any decor. Upholstery options include premium fabrics, durable microfiber, and luxurious leathers, all tested for durability and comfort.
Many models also feature high-grade foam seat cushions and blown fiber-filled backs for added support and long-lasting comfort. These materials are chosen not only for their comfort but also for their ability to resist wear, ensuring that the recliner maintains its appearance and shape over time.
Functionality is another key aspect of the best wall hugger recliners. Many models come equipped with convenient extras, such as side-mounted handles or power control panels that allow you to customize your recline position easily.
Some even feature built-in USB charging ports, cup holders, and storage options, making them a practical addition to any living space. The combination of space efficiency and thoughtful design makes wall recliners an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy the benefits of a recliner without taking up too much room.
In the South Texas area, there are several stores that sell wall recliners. For example, at La-Z-Boy South Texas, we have a collection of wall recliners that can be upgraded to power recliners and include features like an adjustable headrest and lumbar support.
A great example at La-Z-Boy South Texas is the Pinnacle Power Wall Recliner W/ Headrest & Lumbar.
There are other stores that offer wall recliners in South Texas as well. Living Spaces offers wall away recliners, and other stores like Walmart, JCPenney, and Bed Bath & Beyond may have wall recliners available in your area, but they do not carry them regularly.
Maybe you love the idea of getting a wall recliner for your home because you have a smaller space. However, you’re interested in getting a wall reclining sofa or loveseat rather than a recliner.
