The Bassett Sonny reclining sofa is a leather power recliner built for full, unhurried recline. Michael from Kensington walks through what makes it feel different from older reclining furniture: supple leather, true power motion, and a recline deep enough to invite a nap.Where can I test power recliners in person near Northfield, NJ?At Kensington's Northfield showroom, where the Bassett Sonny power reclining sofa is set up and ready to try. You can sit in it, run the power recline, and feel the leather before deciding anything.What makes the Bassett Sonny different from older reclinersMichael's point is straightforward: reclining furniture used to be basic, with no power motion and little attention to how it actually felt against the skin. The Sonny is built around power recline, so leaning back isn't a manual pull or push, it's a smooth, powered motion that takes you to a full recline position without effort.The leather and the feelThe Sonny is upholstered in leather that Michael describes as supple to the touch. That's a material choice that matters as much as the mechanism does. A power recliner only feels as good as the surface you're actually sitting on, and leather that's soft and pliable changes how the whole piece feels once you're leaned back.What the full recline feels likeIn Michael's words, reclining fully in the Sonny "just totally chills you out," and he calls it "a luxe experience that induces a nap." That's the design goal: a power recliner that doesn't just tilt back but gets you to a genuinely relaxed position, leather included.Why this matters if you're shopping for a power reclinerIf you've shopped reclining furniture before and found it stiff, boxy, or mechanical-feeling, the Sonny is built to answer that. Power motion means consistent, controlled recline instead of wrestling with a lever. Leather upholstery means the surface softens over time rather than cracking or going flat. Together, that's the case Michael makes for leaning into updated reclining furniture instead of settling for something dated.Seeing it in personPhotos and specs only tell you so much about a recliner. The recline angle, the leather's actual feel, how the power motion sounds and moves, all of that is easier to judge in the showroom.
