Discover 16 of the Best Recliners to Relax In
Picture this: you’ve had a long day, and all you want to do is sink into a chair that feels like a warm hug. That’s where recliners come in — the ultimate way to relax at home. With a simple pull or push, they let you kick back, lift your feet, and find that perfect comfort zone. But here’s the thing: not all recliners are created equal. There are plenty of options out there, and choosing the best recliner chair can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. What are the different types of reclining chairs? Here’s a breakdown of the 8 main types you’ll see while shopping for the most comfortable recliner:
1. Rocker Recliner
There’s something timeless about a rocking chair, and a rocker recliner takes it to the next level. You get the gentle back-and-forth motion but with the added bonus of a reclining function — a perfect combination for anyone who loves the calming rhythm of a traditional rocker but wants a bit more comfort.

2. Swivel Recliner
Why settle for a stationary chair when you can have a 360-degree view of your room? Swivel recliners bring all the comfort of a classic recliner, but with the added flexibility to turn in any direction. Whether you’re watching TV or enjoying the view from your window, a swivel recliner lets you easily shift your focus.

3. Glider Recliner
If rocking isn’t your thing, but you still want a little movement, gliders have you covered. Unlike rockers, gliders move smoothly along a track, offering a more subtle glide. This makes them a fantastic option for anyone who prefers a quieter, more controlled motion — no creaking or jolting, just relaxation. Perfect for nurseries or living rooms, glider recliners deliver both comfort and elegance.

4. Wall Hugger Recliner
If you’re short on space but still want the comfort of a recliner, a wall hugger is your ideal choice. Designed to recline forward rather than backward, it allows you to place the chair closer to the wall without sacrificing comfort. Perfect for smaller rooms or apartments, wall hugger recliners let you fully relax without needing extra clearance behind the chair. It’s space-saving relaxation at its best.

5. Lift Recliner
For those needing a little extra assistance getting in and out of a chair, lift recliners are the perfect fit. With a gentle push, these chairs tilt forward, helping you stand up or settle in with ease. Lift recliners are especially helpful for anyone with limited mobility, combining all the comfort of a classic recliner with added support and accessibility.

6. Powered Recliner
Powered recliners are the way to go for those who like a little tech with their comfort. With just the push of a button, you can smoothly adjust your ideal reclining position — no manual levers required. Some models even come with built-in USB ports, so you can charge your devices while you kick back and relax. Powered recliners give you complete control, so you can sit upright, recline fully, or find that sweet spot in between.

7. Massage Recliner
A massage recliner takes relaxation up a notch, combining the comfort of a recliner with soothing massage functions. With customizable settings for your back, neck, and legs, some models even offer heat options, making it the perfect way to unwind and ease tension at home.

8. Stationary Recliner
Sometimes, simple is the way to go. Stationary recliners focus on delivering pure comfort without any extra movement. While they may not swivel, rock, or glide, they more than make up for it with solid, dependable relaxation. These chairs are perfect for anyone who wants a classic recliner experience — just lean back and sink into the plush support.
