With the recliner category becoming more and more popular over time and with references in popular culture, choosing the right recliner for you involves much more than just aesthetics. You should consider the size shape and fit of the recliner. The best fit will provide you the maximum comfort. Longevity is another factor that counts while making a decision. Here are 5 tips to help you choose a recliner that fits you and suits your aesthetics.

1. Choose a size.
Space is the main concern to keep in mind that's been allotted to the new recliner. Consider the space in the room and the space that the recliner will occupy according to the shape and footprint. While picking a size you must be doubly sure of the surrounding space you will need for the recliner to fit into. Choosing a recliner with an attached ottoman will need more leg space because when you recline the chair tilts to the back with the ottoman moving outwards taking in more leg space in the front. This will ensure a better position and the more comfortable you are that much better the chair will fit into your daily life.

2. Seek comfort; consider longevity.
While you might be restricted by your budgets you might want be more inclined to purchase a model that is less expensive, you also want to ensure your investment is worth the cost of the recliner as the time passes by.  Be doubly sure of the quality of the raw materials like the leather, wood and metals from which the recliner is made of along with the comfort of the piece. A proper fit means optimum comfort , this is something you need to keep in mind.
Quality will always cost more upfront but the right recliner will give you years of comfort and support. 

3. Narrow down your style preferences.
A recliner is bulky and ugly which usually does not match the existing decor of a room. However, this is a thing of the past as recliners nowadays come in a variety of designs and materials.
Whether you're in the market for a 1 seater 2 seater or a 3 seater recliner you can opt for a sleek modern chair, a contemporary masterpiece made of wood and leather, a recliner of your choice can be found to match your preferences.

4. Make a list of must-have features.
A whole host of features are provided by recliners now in terms of functionality which are enhanced keeping the features you most desire. New age recliners come in with lumbar support and sleep functions that allow for a full recline for maximum comfort. A hydraulic and electric recline are some of the other features that are now coming standard in most options for recliners.

5. If you're still stumped, go with the classics.
If you have a trouble choosing between styles go for a timeless classic piece as this will last you throughout for at least two decades or more so wherein your interiors might change but your chair will still remain the same. Choose a classic that will complement any style.
