what are recliner seats

Recliner seats are chairs or sofas with a backrest that leans back and (on a full recliner) a footrest that extends, letting you move from upright to a relaxed, reclined position. 'Recliner' simply means a seat that reclines.

Types of recliner seats

Full recliners recline the back and extend a footrest with a side lever; semi-recliners lean the backrest only, with a slimmer frame and a lower price. Sizes run from a single chair to a seven-seater set. At Upmega the styling comes in two lines — Series 1 and the more contemporary Series 2.

How to choose

Start with the room size (how many seats fit), then the budget, then the look. If you want deep, feet-up comfort, choose a full recliner; if you want a tidy, formal sofa that still leans back, choose a semi-recliner.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a recliner and a semi-recliner?+

A full recliner reclines deeply and extends a footrest; a semi-recliner reclines only the backrest and has no extending footrest, so it is slimmer and more affordable.
