Oversized recliner at Kensington Furniture, Northfield NJ

An oversized recliner is a chair you should sit in before you buy it: the seat depth, the back height and the effort of the mechanism only make sense with you in it. That is what the floor at 200 Tilton Road is for. Call 609-241-0807 to ask what is set up.

How to choose an oversized recliner, in four decisions

1. Manual or power

Power adds headrest, lumbar and USB on many models.A manual recliner uses a handle or push-back; a power recliner reclines with a button and stops at any angle, which matters if you have limited strength or want to nap with your feet up and your head level. Power needs an outlet within reach.

2. Rocker, wall-hugger or lift

Wall-huggers need only a few inches behind them.Rocker recliners rock while upright. Wall-huggers slide forward as they recline, so they sit close to a wall or in a corner. Lift chairs tilt the whole seat forward to help you stand; several are on our floor.

3. Size for the person and the room

Measure the reclined depth, not just the footprint.Oversized means a wider seat and a taller back; check the seat height against your knee and the reclined length against the space in front. Every product page lists the dimensions upright and reclined.

4. Cover

Stocked covers ship now; graded covers are built to order.In-stock Ashley chairs come in fixed fabrics and leathers. La-Z-Boy, England and Bassett chairs can be ordered in hundreds of fabrics and leathers, with the price set by the grade you choose.

Oversized recliner questions, answered

What counts as an oversized recliner?
A recliner with a wider seat, a taller back and a heavier-duty mechanism than the standard chair in the same line. Makers label them oversized, big-and-tall or wide-seat; the product page gives the seat width and the weight rating where the maker publishes one.
How much space does a recliner need behind it?
A standard manual recliner needs roughly 18 to 30 inches of clearance behind it to recline fully; wall-hugger and many power recliners need only a few inches because they glide forward. The product page lists the reclined depth so you can measure.
Manual or power: which should I pick?
Power if you want to stop at any angle, need a headrest or lumbar adjustment, or have limited strength; manual if you want no cord and a lower price. Power chairs need an outlet within reach of the chair.
Do you sell lift chairs?
Yes. Lift chairs from La-Z-Boy and other makers are on the floor or orderable in several sizes. They tilt forward to help you stand and recline fully for napping; a consultant will match the size to your height.
Which recliners are in stock?
Many Ashley recliners are in stock for pickup or fast delivery; look for the in-stock badge on the product. La-Z-Boy, England and Bassett chairs in a custom cover are built to order and we give you the expected date when you order.
Can I choose the fabric or leather?
On La-Z-Boy, England and Bassett recliners, yes: hundreds of fabrics and leathers, with the price set by the grade. In-stock chairs come in the cover shown.
