How do you preserve the Number One go-to spot for relaxing when you\u2019re short on space? We\u2019re talking about the cozy support of the reclining chair that\u2019s perfect for watching Netflix, reading on your Kindle, taking a nap or just getting away from it all. If you have a small living room, live in an apartment or want the perfect chair for your RV, there\u2019s a solution. It\u2019s called the wall hugger recliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS A WALL HUGGER RECLINER?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wall hugger recliner is all about forward movement. The way it reclines is going to take up less space than the standard recliner. Wall huggers come in all the latest styles with custom fabric or leather and it’s built to take up less space. <\/p>\n\n\n

USING YOUR WALL HUGGER RECLINER\u2014HOW IT SAVES YOU SPACE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wall hugger recliners move forward and away from what\u2019s behind them, leaving a small gap of about 5 inches compared to the space required for a standard recliner, which is closer to 12 inches. In a wall hugger, the reclining mechanism lowers the back down, pushes the seat forward, and moves the footrest outward. (This will make it necessary for you to be careful of what accent tables<\/a> you use with it so the footrest doesn\u2019t hit the tables.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the seat of the wall hugger sliding forward, it saves on floor space and it won’t bump whatever is behind it, jarring you out of your peaceful moments! While wall hugger recliners can be placed close to a wall or other furnishings, they cannot be placed directly up against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW CLOSE TO THE WALL SHOULD A WALL HUGGER RECLINER, SOFA, OR\nLOVESEAT BE PLACED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can position your wall hugger recliner about 5 inches from the wall versus a standard recliner that needs about 12 inches. Wall huggers are intended to be placed close to a wall or other furnishings. They extend forward when reclining so that they do not bump into whatever might be behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS OF A WALL HUGGER RECLINER? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to be close to the wall and take up less space, there is less range for the recline. But the magic of the wall hugger means you don\u2019t have to give up your comfy spot just because you\u2019re working with less space. <\/p>\n\n\n
