There’s nothing quite like kicking back in a recliner chair at the end of a long day. Whether you’re watching your favorite show, reading a book, or taking a much-needed nap, a good recliner can elevate your comfort and bring a whole new level of relaxation to your home. But not all recliners are created equal, and finding the right one can make all the difference. At Kensington Furniture, we’ve spent over 113 years helping South Jersey families discover furniture they love. From traditional favorites to high-tech designs, we carry a wide selection of recliners, including popular styles like rocker recliners and leather recliners, to suit every lifestyle, budget, and space. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most popular types of recliner chairs and help you find the one that fits your lifestyle just right. Types of Recliners to Know Recliners have come a long way from bulky, one-size-fits-all chairs. Today, they come in a wide range of styles and functions designed to match your needs and decor. Traditional Recliners These are the classic recliner chairs most people picture—manual or power-operated, with plush cushions and wide armrests. Traditional recliners are all about comfort and come in a variety of materials, including durable leather recliners for a timeless look and easy cleaning. They’re perfect for lounging in a family room or den and are designed for all-day relaxation. Rocker Recliners The rocker recliner combines a soothing rocking motion with full recline capabilities. It’s ideal for everything from afternoon naps to calming a baby to sleep. Popular with new parents and anyone who enjoys gentle motion, rocker recliners come in styles that range from classic to contemporary. Wall-Hugger Recliners Short on space? Wall-hugger recliners are designed to recline forward instead of back, allowing you to place them just inches from the wall. These chairs are a great solution for apartments, smaller rooms, or open-concept layouts where saving space matters. Lift Chairs Lift chairs are a game-changer for anyone with mobility challenges. These power recliners gently tilt forward to help you sit or stand with ease. Ideal for older adults or those recovering from surgery, many lift chairs also include heat, massage, and built-in lumbar support for maximum comfort. Swivel Recliners Swivel recliners offer 360-degree movement, giving you the flexibility to turn and face different areas of your room without getting up. This makes them a great fit for multi-use spaces or open layouts, combining motion and comfort in a sleek, functional chair. Power Recliners If you love modern features and convenience, power recliners are your new best friend. These high-tech recliner chairs offer customizable reclining positions at the touch of a button—often including adjustable headrests, lumbar support, USB ports, and even built-in massage. Power recliners bring luxury and ease into your everyday routine. Why La-Z-Boy Recliners Are a Customer Favorite When it comes to recliners, La-Z-Boy is the gold standard—and we’re proud to offer one of the best selections in South Jersey right here at Kensington Furniture.

Choosing the Right Recliner for Your Lifestyle Still not sure which recliner is right for you? Here are a few tips based on your space and how you plan to use your new favorite chair: Young professionals may gravitate toward sleek, modern recliners with power functions and clean lines—perfect for apartments or home offices. Families with kids or pets might want something durable and easy to clean, like a performance fabric or leather recliner with rocker motion for movie nights. Older adults or people recovering from injury will benefit from a lift chair with lumbar support and a quiet motor. Style-conscious decorators might prefer a swivel recliner that blends into a modern or mid-century look while still offering great comfort.
