Seeking advice on where to buy a 3-seat recliner sofa?

  • OP, if you've not had a recliner before, beware they weigh a ton. We had a 3 seater and a 2 seater with 2 recliners each and when it came to getting rid, I had to spend a couple of days breaking it down just to get it to the tip. The electric ones are even heavier. Difficult to move round the room if you need to as well. Good luck with your hunt.
    Thanks for the tips Bigphil. I understand some companies now make modular recliners that can break apart or be rearranged. Sofology has one like this we’re looking at. This would make it much easier to get up and down our flats!

    Although we’re also considering just a nice deep sofa. Going to go shopping this weekend to see what we like!

    My recliner wasn’t modular as such, but it did come in a couple of pieces. Good point about them being heavy- they are. Sofology do a recycling scheme, so it’s handy when you want rid of the old sofa.

    Specifically we’re looking for a 3-seater recliner where the middle seat also reclines. Most places don’t do this, they just have the edge seats recline.

    Sofology has one though, and I think Natuzzi but they’re the only ones I’ve found.
