Shop Reclining SectionalsWhen Is a Sectional Sofa with Recliner Better Than a Sofa?
You may ask yourself, “Which is better: sectional or sofa?” The truth is both have their perks, but there are plenty of reasons to consider upgrading. And while traditional sofas have long been a living room staple, sectional sofas—especially ones with recliners—can truly elevate your space. Some of the top reasons why a sectional sofa with recliner include:
✅Surprising Health Benefits: Did you know a recliner sectional sofa can support better health. Elevating your feet helps improve circulation, reduce swelling, and ease pressure on your lower back.
✅More Room to Sprawl: Sectional sofas are generous with seating space. Add reclining features into the mix, and you’ve got the ultimate setup for stretching out or lying down.
✅Customized Comfort: Individual reclining seats allow each user to adjust seating positions according to their preference for a custom experience.
✅Perfect for Entertaining: With a reclining sectional, your living room instantly becomes the go-to spot for any occasion—movie nights, game days, or laid-back weekends. It becomes a gathering place that still prioritizes individual comfort.
Important Details About Sectional Recliner Sofas
Between your space, layout and budget, one sectional might be a perfect fit while another can be a disaster. Get to know a few practical details before choosing a sectional sofa with recliner (CLICK ➕ THE TO LEARN MORE)
➕Calculating the Cost of a Reclining Sectional
You've probably guessed it—reclining sectional sofas cost more than standard sofas and even stationary sectionals. While a stationary sofa might cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000, a stationary sectional can range between $1,000 and $2,500. On the other hand, reclining sectional sofas start at around $1,500 and can go well over $3,000. The
➕Picking a Recliner Sectional Size
A sectional sofa recliner is larger and bulkier than traditional sofas, and that means it requires more space than a standard sofa. Reclining sectionals can easily span 100 to 160 inches more compared to the standard 84-inch-wide sofa. To fit a reclining sofa comfortably, your living room should ideally be at least 12 x 12 feet or larger to allow space for the sectional itself, room to recline, and a walking area around it.
➕Left-Facing vs. Right-Facing Sectionals
One of the most common errors buyers make is overlooking the sectional's orientation. In many cases, buyers have to decide between left-arm facing or right-arm facing configurations (although modular sectionals offer more flexibility). This refers to the side the extended chaise or recliner is on when you're facing the sofa.
These designs are also not interchangeable. Making the wrong choice means you'd end up with a bad living room flow. Always take the time to measure your room (twice), consider traffic flow, and confirm whether a left-facing or right-facing configuration is best.
How to Pick the Right Sectional Sofa with Recliner
Let's go through the key factors you must review before picking the right sectional sofa with recliner.
Manual vs. Power Reclining Sectionals
One of the first decisions to make is whether to go with a manual reclining sectional sofa or a power reclining mechanism.
Manual reclining sectionals operate with a simple lever or push-back mechanism—no electricity required. That means you can place them anywhere without worrying about power outlets or hiding cords. This also makes them easier to move and rearrange. Plus, they're usually more affordable than the electric ones.
However, reclining requires physical effort, so manual reclining sectionals are not ideal for users who find physical exertion discomforting. They also have lower levels of comfort as there are fewer features and adjustability options.
A power reclining sectional sofa uses an electric motor to adjust the seating position instead, all at the push a button. Many models offer features like USB charging ports, power headrests, lumbar support, and even heating and massage functions. The precise positioning and tech-friendly features offer a heightened level of comfort.
The biggest drawback may be the price—power reclining sectionals are likely to be more expensive than manual ones. They also require access to a power outlet and can be heavier and harder to move.
Upholstery Matters
Upholstery is the next matter of business. The right fabric can enhance your living experience, especially when matched with your household's specific needs. Let's compare popular sectional upholstery options.
Leather Reclining Sectional Sofas
Leather is a classic choice for a reason. It’s sleek, long-lasting, and easy to wipe clean, making it a favorite for many homeowners. Leather sectionals are a good for pet owners since leather resists fur and doesn't trap allergens (just be sure to mind their claws). With that said, leather sectional sofas with recliners can feel “sticky” in high humidity, but they serve you well in almost any climate, as long as they’re not in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Upholstered Reclining Sectional Sofas
Aside from leather, sectional recliners come in a wide range of textures and colors. Here's a breakdown of the various fabrics usually available:
- Polyester Recliner Sectional: This option is durable and budget-friendly. Plus, polyester is resistant to wrinkles and fading, making it great for high-traffic homes.
- Chenille Recliner Sectional: Soft and plush with a luxurious feel, chenille sectionals are best suited for adult-only, lower-traffic areas.
- Microfiber Recliner Sectional: Microfiber is soft and stain resistant, which is why it’s a popular pick for families with kids or pets.
- Linen Recliner Sectional: If lightweight and breathable material with a casual look sounds like your pace, linen is a good sectional upholstery. This pick works best for rooms with light, occasional use.
- Tweed Recliner Sectional: Tweed is all about the texture. It’s also durable and hides wear and small stains well, meaning it’s a good fit for everyday living rooms.
- Velvet Recliner Sectional: Talk about elegant and ultra-soft. Velvet adds a unique a touch of luxury to downtime, but it may not be ideal for homes with pets.
Comparing Sectional Sofa Shapes
A recliner sectional's shape also plays a vital role in how the piece will fit into your living space. Here's how the most popular shapes compare:
L-Shaped Sectional Sofa with Recliner
An L shaped sectional sofa with recliner is one of the most versatile and popular options. It’s perfect for maximizing corners and works well in smaller or medium-sized rooms. This shape suits rooms with corners or open-floor plans best.
U- Shaped Sectional Sofa with Recliner
U shaped sectional sofa with recliners are larger and create a more spacious, inviting seating area. They work well in larger living rooms or open spaces with plenty of space to stretch out, creating a central, interactive seating arrangement. Since there are extensions on either side (which creates the U shape), they work extremely well in living rooms with three enclosed walls.
Curved Sectional Sofa with Recliner
A curved sectional sofa with recliner is designed to offer a more unique and fluid seating arrangement, where you want to have a conversational setting or highlight a central area. The shape is ideal for those who prefer a non-traditional, flowing design. If your living room has a unique shape or is round, you might love this shape.
