Bladewood wall-hugger recliner at Mattress & Couch Co.

Best Recliners for Small Rooms

A regular recliner needs a lot of room behind it to lay back. If you're working with an apartment, a small living room or a bedroom corner, these styles fit better.

Wall-hugger (zero wall) recliners

These slide forward as they recline, so they can sit just a few inches from the wall. The Bladewood Zero Wall Recliner needs only about three inches of space behind it and starts at $475.

Swivel recliners

A swivel recliner turns to face the TV, the kitchen or the conversation, so one chair does the job of two. Try the Alainmont Swivel Power Recliner (from $975), which has hidden storage, or the navy velvet Mcburg (from $875).

Rocker recliners

Rocker recliners are usually compact and affordable. Good options include the Newellen (from $475), the Scranto (from $575) and the Larimer (from $575).

Need help standing up?

A power lift recliner like the Belmone Pike (from $975) gently lifts you to standing at the push of a button, and it has heat and massage.

Quick measuring tips

  • Measure the recliner's depth when fully reclined, listed on each product page.
  • Leave a walkway in front of the footrest.
  • Check that a power recliner can reach an outlet.
