Our Favorite Designer-Look Modern Recliner Chairs
28 of the best recommended modern recliner chairs with the highest ratings for designer style without sacrificing comfort.
Welp… I finally bit the bullet and caved to my husband’s wishes; we ordered two modern club-style recliner chairs for the living room. What is it about a recliner that makes it such a hot button when couples choose furniture? We’re not the only ones with this problem, right?
They are oh so comfy but it is so challenging to find a recliner with a designer look. Robert and I visited so many furniture stores in our area that we lost count to sit test every recliner we could possibly find.
But since this was such a challenge for us, I thought it would be helpful to round up all of my favorite designer-approved recliners that are comfortable but still “pretty”.
Some we sat on personally and loved, others come with high reviews from others online, but all of them I would have in our home in a heartbeat.

Which one is your favorite out of the bunch? I’m totally eating my words here, but I honestly can’t believe how many of these I LOVE when all this time I said we would never ever have a recliner in our house.
I’ll share our “winner” really soon once it arrives! Do you have a recliner you love?
We had this conversation last year when updating our den. He finally saw the errors of his way and agrees with my Tyler leather square armed recliner from Pottery Barn. He said it’s as comfortable as if it was a large bulky ( I call it Archie Bunker) style chair ? I love ours
Haha! Yesss! That’s the one we picked too. It’s definitely one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for-chairs. Not the cheapest but my gosh it’s a dream in terms of comfort and still looks great.
OMG
Been there and I said he could get his ” Daddy” recilner when we had a baby. We weren’t blessed with children and we compromised on a leather couch with reliners on each end. We’ve had it for amost 30 years in our small living room and the two end sections have been moved to our new home. They will end up in the garage once the move is final and a recilner is is in our future due to the shape of the family room, it’s windows, and the location of the fireplace.
Now the fun of finding the perfect recliner(s)????? Thanks for doing my homework for us!!!!
I’m so glad this was helpful! It’s crazy that it’s so confusing and overwhelming to find the perfect one, but I’ve gotta say… going around doing a sit test in a bunch of recliners isn’t the worst way for me to spend a Saturday. Literally a lay-down-on-the-job kind of job. Haha!
We have been married 45 years and just moved into our new retirement home. We too had never had a recliner. I bought two special order beautiful aqua leather Lazy Boy recliners for the great room and a navy leather recliner for hubby’s man cave. I have to tell you, I LOVE my aqua recliners! They are so comfortable! My only regret is that I had not bought them 45 years ago!
They are definitely like the greatest invention ever in terms of comfort. That and the adjustable mattresses. Instant back relief!
Yes, wish they made recliners in “big and tall” sizes like men’s clothes, without having to go the BarcaLounger? Route that is.
Ah that’s true. And of course those are hardly ever small and chic.
In the splurge category I like the PB square arm or the Thorp (although the arms are a little svelt for me). In the club under $1000 I like the Logan Sunbrella. I like clean lines and soft texture. Without sitting in the chairs it’s hard to judge function over form. I want to feel like I’m sitting on a cloud being gently hugged by the chair.
I’m interested to see which ones you went with!!
I totally agree. Especially since different heights and where the headrest hits a person can make a huge difference. It seems more and more furniture companies are moving to online-only, which is so frustrating when you really need to be able to sit in them to decide.
