Reclining Sofas Don’t Have to Look Clunky—Here Are 14 Stylish Ones to Buy

Can you believe this tufted reclining sofa is from Wayfair? Available in a hemp white upholstery, this couch is also pretty easy to operate: All you have to do is tap the button, and the legs will start to lift and the back will tilt. If you need a little extra TLC for your neck, the adjustable headrest also moves into the optimal position.

Cuddling with Fido shouldn’t cost you a high-quality couch, which is what makes Povison’s Ergopals-Power Reclining Sofa a strong contender. The brand offers a “pet-safe” fabric, an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified polyester that’s scratch-resistant, water-repellent, and easy to clean. Plus, according to some shoppers, the short-pile textile is less prone to being covered in pet hair.

No pets? No problem. Provison also has a breathable, water-repellent fabric they deem “skin-safe.” Bonus points: You can choose from several configurations as well as the number of recliners, so you can create your dream setup.

When we set out to find the best reclining sofas, Bernhardt was the first brand editorial director Joanna Saltz thought of, and for good reason. The brand's iteration on the reclining sofa exudes luxury. Never sacrifice style for comfort, and this power sofa offers both so well.

The nubby, low-pile fabric offers maximum comfort, with two power reclining seats, and the power buttons are concealed. You can easily operate both the back and footrest settings without anyone knowing. It's a sleek and seamless design!

For years, leather recliners were associated with Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad, but Castlery’s Jaron Leather Recliner manages to bridge the gap between form and function. Between the low-slung silhouette, supple, top-grain leather upholstery, and oversized seats, this two-seater looks like something plucked out of Mad Men, not Friends.

However, when you want to get a little cozy, you can recline both seats up to 180 degrees and adjust the headrest into one of 16 positions.

Prepare to lounge back into this classic rolled-arm power sofa. You can take your comfort to the next level with the powered motion control that allows you to manipulate the headrest and footrests to your liking. If a crisp white sofa isn't your thing, though, order it in any of Pottery Barn's fabrics in the expansive library. We're into the navy performance slub weave, which is not only easy to clean but hardly shows any stains or spills, courtesy of the dark hue.

Maximize your space with a 78-inch power sofa, and with a push of a button you can sit back and kick up your feet. Then quite literally take it to the next level by popping up the headrest for extra neck and head support. We love this sofa because, at first glance, it looks like a regular couch, but it's definitely an investment piece worth every penny.

The average couch lasts between seven and 15 years, but things can change during your sofa’s lifespan. You move apartments. You have a family. You downsize. Fortunately, Joybird’s Camden Modular Sofa can roll with the punches. Tilt back this two-seater's foot and headrests with a simple click of a button for easy lounging. The sofa is equipped with interlocking mortise and tenon joints as well as sinuous wire suspension for a sturdy seat.

However, in true modular sofa fashion, you can add a few extra seats as life changes.

Reclining sofas might seem like a hi-tech purchase, but a good option doesn’t have to cost you a small fortune. Case in point: Latitude Run’s upholstered sofa, which is available for under $1,000. In the furniture world, that’s a rarity.

Affordability might be its main draw, but don’t write it off as “cheap.” Between the cloud-like cushions and chenille upholstery, this compact couch offers a cozy, trend-conscious touch. The power recliner can lean as far as 150 degrees back, while a USB port provides a convenient spot to charge your devices.

If there is one sofa that can save a small space, it's West Elm's Enzo, which you can order with two regular arms or two storage arms. Personally, we're going for the latter. The sofa comes with white glove delivery, which is great for those who don't want to deal with moving around heavy furniture. It also comes with USB ports for charging your devices while you lounge.

Arhaus's entire Corburn collection comes complete with a motion activator, so whether you opt for the two-piece sofa (pictured) or the five-piece corner sectional, you're in for some serious comfort. The over-stuffed cushions are fitted with soft and durable performance fabric that can withstand pretty much any spills you have in store. It also comes in four cool-toned earthy shades.

If you have a large family or are always hosting, you might need a reclining couch that can hold a crowd. Enter West Elm’s Malena L-Shaped Sectional, a consistent best-seller amongst House Beautiful readers. Though this pick is large enough to accommodate up to five guests, a discreet side button will stealthily stretch out two seats. In other words, this couch lets some guests sit upright and others lounge.

Size is a major draw, but it’s also built to last. The eucalyptus wood frame is outfitted with cushions that have polyurethane foam cores and high-grade sinuous springs to keep sagging to a minimum.

This is no ordinary sofa. From the funky shape to the reclining ergonomic backrest, there's a lot to love. Plus, it may look super cozy, which it is, but the plush pillows and elegant upholstery are attached to a solid wood frame that can support up to 660 pounds.
