About the Gemini Electric Recliner Sofa Collection with Headrests
The Gemini is a generously sized electric recliner sofa from Buoyant Upholstery, hand built in the UK in your choice of fabric or leather. Power reclining, telescopic headrests and USB charging all come as standard, so there's nothing to add on.
The 3 seater is 216cm wide with a 48cm seat height and a 56cm seat depth, and it stretches to 159cm from front to back when fully reclined. The frame is hardwood and composite, seats are coil sprung foam and the backs are blown fibre. Each seat is tested for people up to 160kg.
Key features
- Electric recliner sofa with headrests: Power recline plus telescopic headrests that lift to support your head and neck.

- Fabric or leather sofa: Made to order in any cover from Buoyant's fabric and leather ranges.
- Coil sprung foam seats: High-density foam with coil springs inside, built to resist sagging in the spots you sit most.
- Three sizes: 3 seater, 2 seater and a matching electric recliner chair.

Questions people ask before ordering
How much room does the Gemini need when reclined?
The seat extends to about 159cm from the back of the sofa to the tip of the footrest, so allow that much clear floor in front.
Do the Gemini headrests move?
Yes. They're telescopic, so they lift up to support your head when you recline.
What is the weight limit on the Gemini?
Each seat is tested for use by people weighing up to 160kg.
Can I have the Gemini in leather?
Yes. It's made to order in either fabric or leather from the Buoyant range.
What are the Gemini seat measurements?
Seat height 48cm, seat depth 56cm and arm height 62cm on a 3 seater that's 216cm wide.
Will it fit through my door?
Measure the narrowest doorway on the way to the room, inside the frame, and compare it with the smallest dimension in the specifications. Most UK internal doors are 76 to 83 cm. If it's close, ring us before you order — we deliver into terraces, flats and farmhouses every week and will tell you honestly.
Can I change the fabric or colour?
On made-to-order ranges, yes — usually from dozens of fabrics, which you can see and feel in the showroom or ask us to post as swatches. Ex-display and in-stock pieces are sold as they are.
Do you deliver, and is it really free?
Yes. Delivery is free to any address on the UK mainland, into the room you want it in, by our own two-person team who take the packaging away. We ring you to book a day. We don't deliver to islands or anywhere that needs a sea crossing, including Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.

Where do you deliver, and what does it cost?
Delivery is free to any address on the UK mainland: England, Wales and Scotland, including the Scottish Highlands. We don't deliver anywhere that needs a ferry or sea crossing, so we can't take orders for Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man, the Isles of Scilly, the Scottish islands or the Channel Islands. If you're not sure whether your address is covered, call us on 01709 376633 before you order.
How long will it take?
For this piece: a few weeks for made-to-order ranges, or within days for in-stock and ex-display pieces. We give you a realistic timescale when you order, not an optimistic one, and we ring to book the delivery day once it's ready.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
In-stock and ex-display pieces: you can cancel within 24 hours of placing your order for a full refund to your original payment method. Ex-display furniture is sold as seen, so please check its condition before you buy.
Made to order: anything you choose a fabric or leather for (three or more swatch options) is made specifically for you, so it can't be cancelled or returned once it's in production. Double-check your size and colour before you pay, or call 01709 376633 the same day if you need to change something.
Faulty or damaged: tell us straight away with your order number, photos and the delivery date and we'll put it right with the manufacturer. That's your statutory right and nothing above affects it. Full details: cancellations and returns policy.
What does the guarantee cover?
This range comes with the manufacturer's guarantee for this range, which we'll confirm before you order. It covers manufacturing faults in the frame and construction, not accidental damage or normal wear such as cushions softening. We'll confirm the exact terms for your order before you buy.
How do I pay?
Pay in full by card, use Shop Pay for a quick checkout, or choose Klarna at checkout to split the cost. In the showroom, leave a 20% deposit to secure your order and pay the balance any time before delivery.
Can I see it before I buy?
Many of our ranges are on display at our Parkgate showroom in Rotherham, open seven days — where a range is on the floor, the product page says "See it in person" in the details section. Sit on it, feel the fabric and check the size against something real. No commission, no pressure.
