Oversized Recliners

Oversized recliner chair sizes and room fit

An oversized recliner chair is usually wider than 40 inches, while a standard recliner often stays under about 36 inches wide. Widths here run 40.9 to 57.5 inches, depths 34.7 to 41.4 inches and heights 33.5 to 39.7 inches.

Measure the room with the footrest fully open, since reclining often adds two feet or more to the depth, and leave space behind the chair for the back to tilt.

Oversized rocker recliner with a swivel base

Most models here work as an oversized rocker recliner that also swivels, so the chair can turn toward the TV or the conversation and rock gently while upright. Select models recline manually with a handle or by leaning back.

A rocker needs a little room to move and a swivel base needs space to turn, so keep side tables and walls clear of the arms and back.

Oversized reclining chair massage and heat

Most oversized reclining chair models here add built-in massage and heat, with modes and controls that vary by model. Most also include USB charging for a phone or tablet, and some add cup holders.

Massage and heat run on power, so place the chair where its cord reaches a wall outlet without crossing a walkway.

Oversized vegan leather recliner and chenille upholstery

An oversized leather recliner here means vegan leather, a synthetic that wipes clean easily, while select models use soft chenille instead. Colors include brown, black, gray, blue and green.

Most models list a metal frame, and select models combine solid pine with plywood panels, so check the construction line on each listing.

Oversized recliners care and daily use

Oversized recliners last longest when the mechanism stays clear and the upholstery gets light, regular cleaning. Keep children, pets and objects away from the footrest and base before closing or turning the chair, and never stand on an open footrest.

Vacuum chenille with an upholstery attachment, wipe vegan leather with a soft cloth, and follow the care label on your model for spills and stains.
