A corner recliner is the sofa for a big living room built around film night: the seating of a corner, with reclining seats at the ends and sometimes in the middle, so nobody has to fight over the recliner.

A corner recliner combines the two things most families want from a sofa: the seats and the shape of a corner, and the lean-back, feet-up comfort of a recliner. The reclining seats are usually at each end of the L, with fixed seats and the corner unit between them, and on many ranges you can choose which seats recline and which stay static.

Newtrend Concepts Italia builds power recliner seats and adjustable headrests into its modular Italian leather corners, so a corner can be configured with recliners exactly where you want them. La-Z-Boy offers reclining corner groups in fabric and leather with the mechanism it is known for. VIDA Living's Nico leather electric corner recliner is a popular choice from stock, and our Exclusive range adds corner recliners in both covers for quicker delivery. Left- and right-hand configurations are available on most.

A corner recliner needs a little more room than a static corner: each reclining seat extends forward, and on non-wall-hugger designs the backs need clearance behind. Electric versions need a socket within reach, and the product page shows where the cable exits and lists the reclined dimensions alongside the upright ones. Decide which hand the corner or chaise should be on while standing in front of the sofa as it will sit in the room.

Leather is the most popular cover for a corner recliner because it wipes clean and suits the mechanism; the La-Z-Boy and Exclusive ranges offer fabric versions in hard-wearing weaves for a softer look. Corner recliners arrive in sections and are assembled in the room by our own two-person team, who set up and test every mechanism.
