Even if you think you have the comfiest couch or chair in the whole wide world, I promise you it would be even cozier if it reclined. In my future home, recliners—specifically reclining loveseats (you know, the not-quite-a-sofa-but-also-too-big-to-be-a-chair two-seaters?)—will be non-negotiable. I mean, hello! They're perfect for binge-watching, reading, and napping. And we all deserve a versatile seat that will be there for us through it all.

Now, let me tell you a little secret: The best reclining loveseats actually do so much more than just lean back. There are so many models that include storage, cupholders (yep, even ones that fit your honkin' Stanley!), hidden USB ports, and so much more. Plus, a lot of designs on the market don't look anything like the gross recliners of man caves past and present. Seriously, just take a peek at how cute some of these bad boys are!

Ah! How will you ever be able to choose just one!? Keep scrolling for all the nitty-gritty details you need to know before you pick your new best friend, then get ready to experience relaxation like never before. Your life is about to get infinitely better, trust.

Anilyah Power Reclining Loveseat

I'll be the first to admit that many reclining loveseats look, well, bro-y. You know, like they were made for watching sports and not much else. (I bet a very specific image just popped into your head, didn't it?). Not this baby, though. This design from Wade Logan completely reimagines the traditional reclining loveseat, making it something much more contemporary. Honestly, thank god!

With mid-century modern curved edges, a rich mocha leather finish, and low comfy seats, this recliner will complete your cozy living space and make for the ultimate movie night—or rot day—loveseat. All you have to do is press a button on the side to sink into relaxation. And it even features a built-in USB port to keep your phone or laptop juiced up!

Amyjo Reclining Loveseat

Okay, so, while this loveseat won't magically power recline with the push of a button, it does have one of the smoothest manual reclining functions of all time. Reviewers say the mechanism won't get stuck or malfunction, even after years of use, so you can sit back and relax without breaking a sweat.

I also love that the faux leather looks and feels real, making it appear more expensive than it actually is. I mean, just take a peek at that price tag—it's less than half the cost of some of the more luxe models out there, but operates just as well.

Dillon Power Reclining Loveseat

If you're after an elegant piece of furniture with unexpected features, you really can't go wrong with this loveseat. At first glance, it looks like your classic well-cushioned chair—but it's actually a power recliner. Just press the button on the side to slide back into comfort. Talk about seat-ception!

Although it only comes in beige, that means you have plenty of freedom to add pops of color with decorative throw pillows and blankets. The back cushions are also removable, which will be much appreciated if you're ever trying to maneuver it around tight corners or narrow hallways. (Cue: "Pivot!")

Kingswood Genuine Leather Reclining Loveseat

Viral cloud couch, I think you've met your match. Let me introduce you to the marshmallow reclining loveseat. (Okay, I named it that, but you can't tell me the white version doesn't resemble a fluffy marshmallow!!!) I have a feeling this comfy dream is about to become your butt's favorite seat. Reviewers say the cushions start to meld to your body after just a few weeks, the power reclining function is silent and smooth, and the built-in USB port is the cherry on top.

As for the upholstery, the leather feels buttery soft and is also super durable, meaning this loveseat will still look brand-spankin' new years after you buy it. It'll look so good, in fact, that your kids might end up begging you to pass it down to them in the future!

Apollo Reclining Loveseat With Console

If you're gonna splurge on a reclining loveseat, it should at least be customizable. La-Z-Boy offers no shortage of options, with over 350(!!) different upholstery options to choose from, including leather, patterns, and harder-to-come-by colors like teal and red.

Aside from the snazzy looks, this tricked-out recliner was made for the maximalists who like a little extra armroom and need to have allll the snacks and drinks handy during a marathon TV day. That's because the console features a roomy hidden storage space and two extra-large cup holders. This chair is also perf for tall people, because the high back is designed to comfortably fit those who stand between 5'10" and 6'2". Couldn't be me, but happy for you if so!

Calliope Buttoned Reclining Loveseat

Studio apartments 🤝 this mini loveseat. At just 47 inches wide, this itty bitty chair is the smallest on this list, and can comfortably fit into less-than-spacious apartments.

But don't let the size fool you—this tufted chair can still comfortably hold two people. And TBH, I think it's the perfect spot to cozy up with your hunny. You'll have to cuddle realllly close, but that's the whole point of a loveseat, right?

Bennith Genuine Leather Reclining Loveseat

Have you ever seen a square tufted reclining loveseat? Me either, which is why this one had to be on the list! I mean, since they're hard to come by, having one in your home is essentially like owning a custom piece of furniture, right? Right.

First off, this design will never go out of style. The oversized leather cushions also offer the ideal amount of support for aching bums and backs, and when you want to sit back, all you have to do is press a button. I would totally understand if it became your new WFH spot, too—it's got a USB port, so there's really no reason to ever get up.

Recliner Loveseat

This classic black loveseat may be basic, but I love her for that! Even though it might not be the most exciting chair you've ever seen, I promise the features (and the price...my goodness, that price!) more than make up for it.

The top attribute? Well, this pick is a HEATED MASSAGE CHAIR. Yep, sitting in this is like chilling in your favorite cushy pedicure chair, but in the comfort of your own home. Choose from five vibration modes (which you can customize on either side), then lay all the way back—or partway back, if you're watching TV—and feel all of your tension melt away. Immediate add to cart.

Pereyo Fabric Reception Loveseat

Ever wish you could bring those plush reclining movie theatre seats home? Well, now you can with this velvet Hokku Designs loveseat. I love that you can keep your drinks handy in the large cupholders and stash all of your snacks, chargers, and remotes in the roomy center storage compartment (which also has a hidden USB port!).

While the center console is, of course, a major selling point, my favorite feature is the split-back design: Each seat reclines on its own, so you can adjust to your preferred angle even if the person you're sitting with wants to be upright. Yep, it's an argument-proof loveseat!

What to look for in a reclining loveseat

Reclining Mechanism

Okay, so there are two types of recliners: power and manual. With the former, you can fully kick back and relax with the push of a button. As for the latter, you'll need a bit more elbow grease to recline. That's not to say they're difficult to operate, but manual recliners aren't as seamless for those with mobility issues or weak arms (like moi).

Just to let you know, power recliners tend to be more expensive (and So. Much. Heavier.) than their manual counterparts, and need to be plugged into a power source. So if it's your *dream* to have your recliner in a very specific spot that's nowhere near an outlet, you're better off getting a manual model.

Special Features

Yes, of course, you want your reclining loveseat to, well, recline, but there are plenty of other features to consider before saying 'I do' to your forever chair. First off, if you have the space and like to spend your weekends watching reruns of Friends (hi, it me) getting a loveseat with a center console will be major. Center consoles offer extra storage for snacks, remotes, and even books, and many include cupholders. So basically they make your home feel like a movie theatre.

Also, if you're one of those people whose phone is always hanging on by one percent, you might want to cop a power 'cliner with a handy built-in USB port. There's no excuse for a dead phone when you have a charger conveniently located in your favorite chair, mmkay?

And, finally, for those who need some extra relaxation, be sure to consider a chair with a massage function. The Yodolla Recliner Loveseat, for example, doubles as a heated massage chair and will knead out your tension while you're sitting.

Upholstery

The upholstery you choose can completely change the aesthetic of your space, so you really need to think about what you want. I prefer leather, because not only does it look ultra chic and sleek, but it's also more durable than other fabrics (it can truly last decades!). Plus, it's pretty resistant to pet scratches and rambunctious children. However, if leather doesn't speak to you, there are plenty of quality polyester options that are plush and soft. Just make sure you have stain remover on hand for life's little mishaps (read: red wine).
