Swivel Recliners

A swivel recliner is a reclining chair on a base that turns, usually a full 360 degrees, so you can face the TV, a window or a conversation without moving the chair. This page carries power and manual swivel recliners 29.1 to 40.9 inches wide, most of which also rock, in vegan leather, velvet and chenille.

Swivel recliner chair size and room fit

A swivel recliner chair needs clear space on every side, since the chair turns as well as reclines. Widths here run 29.1 to 40.9 inches and depths 27.6 to 38.8 inches, and listed seat heights sit near 19 inches.

Leave enough room for the back and footrest to open in any direction the chair faces, and keep side tables and lamps just outside the turning circle.

Swivel rocker recliner and glider motion

A swivel rocker recliner combines three motions: it turns, rocks back and forth when upright, and reclines with a footrest. Most models here are swivel rockers, and some have a glider motion, which moves on a smooth track and feels steadier than rocking on a curved base.

The gentle motion suits nurseries, and select models are designed with nursery use in mind. A swivel rocker also works well in a corner, where turning lets one chair face two directions.

Power or manual swivel recliners

Swivel recliners here recline by power or by hand. Some models use power recline, with a button that stops the back and footrest at any position, and others recline manually with a handle or by leaning back, which needs no outlet.

Some models add massage and heat, and some add USB charging or cup holders.

Vegan leather swivel recliner and fabric choices

A leather swivel recliner here uses vegan leather, a synthetic that wipes clean easily, on select models. Other upholstery options include velvet and chenille, which feel warmer and softer, while vegan leather suits homes with spills and pets. Gray and brown are the most common colors, with green, black, blue and beige also available.

Swivel recliner construction and care

A swivel recliner carries its weight on the base, so construction matters. Most models here list solid wood parts in their construction and most use a metal frame or base, while some add plywood panels.

Check the base bolts every few months and tighten any that loosen. Vacuum fabric with an upholstery attachment, wipe vegan leather with a soft damp cloth, and keep pet hair and debris out of the swivel mechanism.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is a swivel recliner?
A swivel recliner is a recliner mounted on a base that rotates, usually a full 360 degrees, so you can turn toward a TV, a window or another person without getting up. Many swivel recliners also rock or glide. On this page every chair swivels and reclines, and most also rock, with power and manual recline options.
What is a swivel glider recliner?
A swivel glider recliner turns on its base, glides forward and back on a smooth track, and reclines with a footrest. Gliding feels steadier and more even than rocking on a curved base, which makes it a common choice for nurseries and for anyone who wants gentle motion. Select models on this page glide.
How do you stop a swivel recliner from swiveling?
Stop a swivel recliner from swiveling by pushing its back against a wall or a heavy piece of furniture so it cannot turn, or by placing it on a thick rug that adds friction. Some swivel bases have a lock or a tension adjustment underneath. Check the base for one before adding wedges, and never modify the mechanism.
How do you keep a swivel recliner from sliding on carpet?
Keep a swivel recliner from sliding on carpet by placing a rubber-backed rug pad or non-slip furniture pads under the base. Pads made for carpet grip the fibers better than those made for hard floors. Also check that the base sits level and that its bolts are tight, since a wobbly base can creep as the chair turns.
Can you add a swivel base to a recliner?
You can buy aftermarket swivel bases, but adding one to a recliner that was not designed for it is rarely a good idea. The base changes the chair's height and balance, and it may not clear the reclining mechanism, which can make the chair tip. A recliner built with a swivel base is the safer choice.
Is a swivel rocker recliner good for small spaces?
Yes. A swivel rocker recliner can suit small spaces, because one chair can turn to face different parts of the room. Choose a compact model and check the reclined depth, not just the upright depth. On this page, the narrowest models are 29.1 inches wide, and depths start at 27.6 inches.
What is the best swivel rocker recliner?
The best swivel rocker recliner is one sized to your body and room, with a sturdy base, smooth motion and upholstery that suits your household. Check that your feet rest flat when seated, that the base is metal or reinforced, and whether you want power or manual recline. Features such as massage, heat or USB charging are worth it only if you will use them.
