Different Types Of Recliner Sofas You Need To Know - Set H2
#1 Rocker Recliner
What are the different types of recliners? The first to mention is rocker recliners.
Modern recliner sofas are available in manual and power forms, and so is the rocker recliner. If you have a rocker recliner, you can adjust its footrest, headrest, and back via the control buttons placed in the lateral armrests.
COZY’s sofas (like the electric sofa Casper) not only come with a stretchy design but they also allow you to adjust the footrest and headrest automatically so that you can find the most relaxing posture, suited for every member in your family. Even better, there is a built-in USB port for charging your phone battery, ensuring your me-time on the sofa will be seamless with no interruption.
A power rocker recliner can be automatic or manual
On the other hand, if you have a manual rocker recliner sofa, you must operate a pull lever to modify the position of the chair’s components. Typically, you can find the pull lever on either side of the chair.
No matter which type of rocker recliner you own, you can enjoy the soothing motions of the sofa. The rocker recliner is optimal for relaxing times of any gender and age.

Lay-flat recliners stand out as an amazing product among different types of recliners. As the name implies, you can turn the chair into a small bed with its full horizontal setting. For this reason, the lay-flat recliner is a sofa that brings users a seamlessly comfortable experience.

A glider can slide backward and forward smoothly to avoid trapping your toes, like carrying out the same motion when using a rocker recliner.
The glider recliner is available in the nursery edition, which offers people having medical issues ultra comfort. Although this sofa is quite bulky, it’s tolerable thanks to the benefits the chair brings.
