The Best Recliner Sofas (UK 2026)
A recliner sofa lets you lean back and put your feet up - the ultimate in living-room comfort. Available with manual levers or electric controls, and often with cupholders and storage, recliners suit anyone who loves to relax in front of the TV. Here's what to look for and our top recliner picks.
Quick answer
Recliner sofas and suites from MNS, More4Homes, Orlando and uk leisure world come in manual and electric versions, in leather and fabric. Electric recliners adjust at the touch of a button but need a power socket nearby; manual recliners use a lever or pull action. Both need clearance behind for the backrest to tilt - measure that gap.
What to look for
Decide between electric (effortless, needs a socket) and manual (no power needed, uses a lever). Check the reclined depth so the sofa clears the wall when open. Leather wipes clean and suits recliners well; fabric feels cosier. Look for useful extras like cupholders and storage, and confirm the recline mechanism feels smooth and sturdy.
How we pick
We rate recliner sofas on comfort, the recline mechanism, material and value, and we flag the wall clearance and power needs. Every pick is a genuine reclining sofa or suite.

Frequently asked questions
Are electric or manual recliners better?
Electric recliners are effortless - you adjust position at the touch of a button, often to any angle - but they need a power socket nearby. Manual recliners use a lever or pull action, need no power and cost less. Choose electric for convenience and fine adjustment, manual for simplicity and value.
How much space does a recliner sofa need behind it?
Recliners need clearance behind so the backrest can tilt when open - typically a good few inches to a foot depending on the model. Check the reclined depth in the product details and leave that gap from the wall. Some 'wall-hugger' designs need less space, which suits smaller rooms.
