Most Comfortable Recliner for You!
Just think, the most comfortable recliner depends on your age, height, weight, torso length, injuries, back pain etc… My 5’2″ Grandma that used to be 5’6″ before shrinking will fit differently than my 5’11” Dad or my 6’8″ college friend.
Bright Ideas Furniture wants to help you find a high quality recliner that fits you! The key to finding the most comfortable recliner is FIT, which is why most of our brands sell a Small, Medium, and Large. If there was 1 best recliner, then we would just sell 1, but that is not the case. We show over 50 modern recliners in our Royal Oak showroom to try out, and my guess is that you will find 20 that you don’t like, 10 that are comfortable, and 3 that fit like a glove! That means less than 10% of recliners are BEST for you, so how can you buy a recliner online without every trying it out?
So get off your current recliner or sofa, and go visit your local furniture store!!!
High Quality Recliner
Most people sit in their recliner every day for 2-3 hours to watch sports, tv programs, or read. And many people sleep in their recliners! So you want it to be comforable and to last for years or even decades. We feel that your recliner is the most important piece of furniture outside of your mattress.
What makes a high quality recliner? The frame, the foam, the material. A sturdy metal and wood frame is of upmost importance so it supports your body weight and moves properly whether it is a manual or power recliner. The #1 reason that recliners breakdown is FOAM, as cheap recliners use cheap foam and wraps that sink. The fabric and leather is what touches your body, so the oils on your skin, the rubbing of your clothes can wear out fabrics and leathers. Top Grain leather is the best as it can be conditioned and even refurbished years later. There are different levels of top grain, and the most expensive are often soft and supple with lots of variation, where the least expensive often have more protection and often do better if you have cats and dogs.
Cold Cured Foam
Have you ever heard of Cold Cured Foam? Why is it important? Our most popular Stressless and Fjords recliners use Cold Cured Foam seats because they are build to last over a decade. This specialized foam is molded directly over the steel frame to ensure durability and maintain its shape over time. Think of you car seats (most made with cold cured foam), they maintain their shape, same thing, our recliners are build to last over a decade with every day use!
- Durability and Comfort: Unlike traditional foam that can flatten over time, cold-cured foam provides consistent, firm, yet comfortable support that lasts for years.
- Structure: The foam is often 3.9-lb density with a Dacron wrap.
- Air Pockets: The foam is molded with perforated air pockets to allow for ventilation.
- Layering: A second layer of softer, polyurethane foam is often added on top of the cold-cured foam for extra comfort.
Cost
Now we understand that cost is always a factor, which is why we only sell high quality recliners that last, because that is the most cost effective in the long run. Also, think about your comfort, as the best luxury recliner will maintain its shape and be comfortable for all of those years, not just the first couple. So many of our Fjords and Stressless customers come back to purchase again, but it is 10-15 years later. I like to think it terms of days, if you have a comfortable recliner that lasts for 10 years, that is 3650 days. Would you pay $1 per day to have the perfect chair to watch sports and tv, then spend $3650. Are you someone who sits/sleeps in it 5 hours a day, because that is $0.20/hour that you are enjoying that chair!
You can buy a $999 recliner that is comfortable for 3 years, but what if you could buy the perfect fit luxury recliner for $3650 that lasts for 10 years.
Even La-Z-Boy recliners have a wide rage of cost depending on features, and in a recent search they have $599 recliners all the way to $3999 recliners.
Warranty
Cheap recliners have short warranties (sometimes 60 days), while expensive recliners have long warranties (often times 5-10 years). High End recliners stand by their product and build them with high quality materials that they know will last. Fjords recliners have a warranty based on what part of the chair – click HERE.
Stylish Recliners
This is where Bright Ideas stands out. We show over 50 modern recliners in our Metro Detroit showroom that not only last a long time, they can add style to your home. Now, some are more stylish than others, but that is where you need to find the 3-5 recliners that FIT you best, work with your 10 year budget, and you love the look! We currently sell recliners from Stressless, Fjords, Hjort Knudsen, Himolla and American Leather. They offer Hundreds of Quickship options that arrive in 3-4 weeks.
Triple Power Recliners for TV watching
I helped my parents purchase a new recliner and recliner theater sofa that they sit in every day. They said, “what the hell is Triple Power?” Well, the legs, the back, the head. Some even have quad power that adds Lumbar support. After they tried triple power, they were sold, and 1 year later, they love it every day and can’t imagine going back to their old La-Z-Boy. The HEAD is the most important mechanism if you plan to watch TV in your recliner, so ask us about the head mechanism for your recliner if you plan to watch lots of TV.
You can also find Manual HEADRESTS that tilt to watch TV, so make sure you ask your sales person.
We hope this information was helpful. Remember you don’t sit on a picture of your recliner, so go to your local furniture store and try out recliners. Our Bright Ideas sales staff tells customers to bring a book (or your phone) and hang out in that chair for an hour to test it out. We have over 50 chairs and free parking, so as long as you leave by 7pm, we are all good. For over 50 years we have been helping Metro Detroit find the most comfortable recliner to last you for many years!
