A reclining sofa still needs to suit you as an everyday seat. Start upright and compare the seat depth, back and head support before concentrating on the mechanism or additional features. If reclining is not essential, it is worth comparing the wider choice of Parker Knoll fabric sofas as well.
Vale now sells far more powered recliners than manual versions. A manual mechanism raises the footrest and relies on your movement to recline and return the seat, while power adjustment lets you make finer changes and stop where you are comfortable.
On relevant Parker Knoll models, powered headrest and lumbar adjustment can refine the position further. Bringing the headrest forward can help you keep looking comfortably ahead when reclined, while lumbar adjustment can add lower-back support and can effectively reduce the usable seat depth for some shorter users.
At Ash Vale, recline fully and then bring the seat back to the position you would actually use for watching television, reading or relaxing. Compare the controls and adjustments only after you know the underlying sofa is comfortable. Our team can also show you relevant alternatives nearby if another model fits you better.
