10 Best Recliners for Sleeping: Expert Reviews

1.Lane Home Furnishings 4501-190 Magnus Wallsaver

Giant and amazingly soft, the Magnus Wallsaver recliner from Lane takes the trophy as the most comfortable recliner for sleeping that you can pick.

It all comes down to its magnificent 40 inches depth and 44 inches width. Together, they make it one of the most spacious recliners out there, perfect to host any person (up to 500 pounds).

However, the size doesn’t stay behind. You can pick different leather options, including a suede surface. That should be enough to take your comfort to a whole new level of plushness so you can sleep like a baby.

There’s a lot more to enjoy, though. The seat of the recliner can go far back to below 45 degrees. That’s enough to provide a super-comfy sleeping position at any time. And what’s even better, the feet support comes up to give a bed-like experience, providing 79 inches of total sofa length for you to sleep on.

Thanks to the extra-tall seat back and the 48-inch seat with large footrest, you will end up in the most comfortable position ever. It will be like sleeping on a king-size bed.

Despite all of that, you can still pick over 9 different color options with plush polyester or pure leather upholstery. Either way, it will be one of the most comfortable armchairs you can pick. 

Top 3 Features

Ultra-Durable Frame

If there’s something we loved about this recliner is the high-quality hardwood frame. Along with hardwood Tenon joints and mortise, the recliner is built to last a lifetime.

Sturdy Metal Mechanism

The 7-gauge on the steel reclining system on the sofa will make it amazingly resilient. You can expect it to last a lifetime without breaking or loosening up.

Decently Supportive

Other exceptional features of this sofa are 22 hr. foam on the back seat and armrests, the bolt-on arms for extra sturdiness, and the plush upholstery. This combination will keep your body supported and comfy at the same time.  

2. Homelegance Laurelton Glider Recliner Chair

If you want to sleep well on a recliner, you need to pick something big, soft, and supportive. In that case, the Homelegance Laurelton gets into a place as a go-to option.

What does it offer that others do not? Well, it all starts with the amazingly plush microfiber. This soft polyester upholstery will make it one of the comfiest to the touch.

The second feature that makes it perfect for sleeping is the size. It measures 43 inches in depth and 40 inches in width. Along with the 40 inches of height with the footrest, you will enjoy maximum comfort every time.

And third, you get a unique gliding motion. This will help you relax when sitting in an upright position, making it a top-notch piece for anyone who wants an unbeatable sleeping experience.

You will find many other features to be fantastic about it. This includes two-color availability. You can get it in either Charcoal Gray for an intense look or in Chocolate Brown for a more traditional appearance. Either way, it will feel super-soft and comfy.

Last but not least, it comes with a decently sturdy lever-action reclining mechanism made of steel and a hardwood frame. Together, they can handle over 300 pounds of weight, so it becomes a go-to choice for heavy people as well.

3. Seatcraft Equinox Home Theater Recliner

Let’s say you don’t want a broad and cushy sofa but a more practical and feature-rich recliner instead. If that’s the case, nothing will meet your demands like the Seatcraft Equinox.

It is the premium option on the list, but it’s all for a reason. This recliner offers all kinds of features you can think of. From adjustable headrests to prevent neck strain, powered lumbar support to relax, and even a power-recliner panel so you can control it with ease – it offers much more than you could expect.

4. Ashley Signature Design Ernestine Power Lift Recliner

One of the best furniture brands you can consider is Ashley Furniture. And it becomes clear why when you take a look at its Signature Design series. The Ernestine Power Recliner is a perfect example of that.

Taking a nap on this recliner will be a total pleasure with the high-quality foam with cushion cores. You get both pillow-like fluffiness and enough support to sleep like a baby all night along on this chair.

The polyester chenille fabric also stands out. It feels super-soft on your skin, so you can sleep even half-naked for maximum comfort.

And what’s even better, it offers a huge 37.75 wide design with 36 inches of depth. That will fit any person with ease, especially with the 43.5 inches of height. When reclined, it achieves a total of 70.5 inches of total length, so it feels almost like a bed.

Many other features stand out about this recliner. One of these includes a corner-blocked hardwood construction and a steel mechanism to maintain the recliner working for years. This is also enough to withstand 300 pounds with ease.

And if everything we’ve mentioned so far isn’t enough, you still get a power-lift mechanism. It will help anyone get out of the chair with ease with a control. A single button will be enough to go from reclining to lifting out of the chair when needed.

5. Irene House Lift Chair Recliner

While sleeping comfortably is essential, a recliner that lets the user stand up easily is also worth considering. That’s why the Irene House Lift Recliner made it into this list.

When it comes to comfort, it offers an over-stuffed pillow design. The back, the lumbar area, the backrest head support, and even the armrests are well-padded for a comfortable experience. Any user will sink into the padding as soon as they sit.

This gets better with the lumbar support thanks to a unique ergonomic design, preventing strain and other back issues.

But the real advantage comes from the reclining mechanism, allowing the user to go from 85 degrees in an upright position to close of 0 degrees flat. Even the footrest goes from 90 to 180 degrees, so you get a bed-like experience.

One thing you won’t find on other recliners is the dual Okin motor system. It lets you recline quietly and smoothly while offering an extra lifting capacity. For the elderly and people who struggle standing up, this lifting mechanism will be a life-saving feature.

It is also easy to use with a 4-button controller. And thanks to the extra side pockets, you can store the controller or any other device safely for later use.

6. Esright Massage Recliner Chair

The level of relaxation you can achieve with the massage recliner from ESRight is simply unbeatable. That’s why we couldn’t let it out of this list.

When it comes to sleeping, you’ll feel outstandingly comfortably on it. The vibrating mechanism that massages plus the heating will relax you even in the most stressful days. This combines well with the 360-degree swiveling and rocking systems, perfect for an even cozier experience.

Apart from that, the recliner boasts thick sponge padding on the seat, armrests, and backrest. It will feel even softer than any bed.

This matches well with the polyurethane leather upholstery. It adds a touch of softness to the surface as well as an elegant look to the piece.

When it comes to size, this recliner also stands out as a decently big model. It boasts 33.5 inches in width, 35.8 inches in length, and 43.2 inches in height. That’s enough to host any person comfortably enough.

The reclining capacity doesn’t stay behind. You can go as far as 40 degrees on this chair. Not exactly bed-like, but far enough to deliver a decent sleeping position.

And lastly, you get a sturdy wooden construction with iron reinforcements. It can withstand over 300 pounds of weight so you can rest without worries.

Affordable, comfortable, and still excellent for sleeping – the Home Recliner Lift Chair from Bonzy won’t disappoint you.

All of that goes over an engineered wooden frame. It is sturdy enough to handle over 300 pounds with ease. Almost anyone can use it safely.

8. Ashley Signature Design Yandel Power Lift Recliner

Coming back to Ashley, we found the Yandel recliner. It is a Power Lift model for people who want a touch of convenience, especially for the elderly.

This power-lift mechanism takes the person from an upright position to a lifted position in 14.5 seconds. It can even take a person from wholly reclined (45 degrees) to raised in 1 minute if necessary. And it all happens with the single touch of a button.

The size doesn’t disappoint either. It is 35 inches wide, 40 inches deep, and 42.5 inches high. When fully reclined, it reaches 69 inches of total length, so even tall people can sleep comfortably on it.

When it comes to upholstery, it offers a polyester fiber that looks like leather. It is super-soft and works amazingly well with the thick cushions in the back and armrests. People can sleep so comfortably on this recliner that it won’t be believable.

At the same time, the recliner boasts a corner-blocked wooden frame with metal reinforcements. That’s enough to withstand 300 pounds of weight with ease.

Last but not least, it is available in black & saddle colors. And it looks gorgeous in both.

9. FDW Store Single Sofa Recliner

If you prefer a small recliner, then the Single Sofa Recliner from FDW Store will be your best bet.

It is not the biggest armchair out there, but it offers superb ergonomics. The soft upholstery with microfiber is a perfect example of that. Alongside a well-supported backrest with a high-density sponge padding, the recliner becomes a super-comfy piece to have.

When it comes to relaxing and having a nap or long night of sleep, nothing will help you more than the easy-to-adjust mechanism. You won’t need to activate a lever or button. By simply pushing it back, the backrest will recline and put you in a completely comfortable position.

Despite all that, the recliner still lasts a lifetime with its heavy-duty steel backrest and the wooden frame, allowing up to 275 pounds of total weight. Even big people will feel decently comfy when using it.

This gets even better with the oval legs. Together, they make it easier to achieve higher stability and balance. You can have a relaxed over-night sleep with little to no worries.

And last but not least, it boasts a modern design that will match almost any decoration and in Beige color. You may also pick the Black or Brown leather options for an even more enticing look.

10. Ravenna Home Oakesdale Contemporary Recliner

The last option on our list comes from Ravenna Home. This is an Amazon brand, so you can expect the utmost quality on every single factor of this recliner.

It all starts with a super-soft fabric surface. You can sleep on it even without clothes, making it a pretty good choice if you’re looking for extra comfort.

This fabric works well with the thick padding. From the seat to the backrest and even the armrests, everything is padded for maximum sleeping comfort.

And what’s even better, it is big enough to host any person at 35.4 inches wide, 36.6 inches deep, and 39.8 inches high. Sitting, getting cozy, and even getting off will be a pleasure on this recliner. 

Another feature to love about this recliner is the quality frame. Wholly made of iron, this frame can withstand 250 pounds of weight effortlessly. And because it also includes the reclining mechanism, you can expect an even more durable piece.

A last but still worth-mentioning feature is the color options. You can pick Taupe, Buff, Red-Brown, and Gray, so you can match it with your decoration. For the price, this is a recliner you shouldn’t dismiss.
