Suggestions for a sofa with recliner end sections?

August 31, 2020, 08:58 PM

I’m looking for a sofa with recliners at both ends and just a normal cushion in between. Power recliner and reset would be great but quality and longevity is more important. I won’t say no to massage and heat either.

Made in USA is a big plus. Leather or similar to resist dog hair etc.

Flexsteel!

Super high quality, made to last, and made in USA. (They're commonly described as "the new La-Z-Boy", hearkening back to when La-Z-Boy ruled the furniture market as the high quality recliner everyone lusted after, before La-Z-Boy's quality declined significantly.)

They have a number of options for power recliner sofas in fabric or leather. These all have three seats, with the two outer ones reclining but the center one not.

I have a Cade model sofa and a Cade model loveseat with console, both of which are powered recliners, and both in black leather. Fantastic quality, and very comfortable. Just understand that you must pay for the quality... These two Flexsteel pieces were $5100 total after tax. (~$2500 each.)

I ordered mine from ABT, which had better pricing than my local furniture stores by several hundred dollars. Plus they then price matched another competitor, for another several hundred dollars off. Free delivery too.

We've had a Klaussner sofa for about a year. Seems well made.

Thanks! I’ll try and find some locally to try.

Sectional couches let you mix and match and build what you want. A few years ago we built a sectional at Macy's with a chaise on one end amd two powered recliners in the other two seats.

I’ll add two other options to consider while searching: power tilting headrest and powered lumbar. Both are fantastic when combined with the reclining back.

Indeed. Both of my Flexsteel pieces have both power headrests and power lumbar, and they're nice. The headrest especially, since it means you can get your head positioned exactly right for TV viewing when reclined.

The only other thing I wish mine had was some sort of "favorite position" button, which could be programmed to go to one exact combination of headrest/lumbar/recline with the push of a button. But that's just me being extra lazy/spoiled.

Wife and I are remodeling our home and need new furniture. During shopping, we came across Bradington-Young. Fantastic feeling seating with power recline, headrest, and optional lumbar. Keep in mind this is only from store testing, so I have no experience with longevity of materials or craftsmanship. Made in USA only in leather.

We found we like the 2-piece cushion seat-back rather then single cushion because the powered headrest "bunches" the single cushion when folding. She is 5'1 and I'm 5'9. Headrests adjusted to fit us both. Her legs don't dangle from too far from floor.

Drawback is the pieces are expensive. This may be the only splurge for our remodel.

We have a stationary Flexsteel and it is great. We did not like the powered Flexsteel models we tried after we trying the B/Y. Wife is in love with B/Y sofa.

We’ve been happy with our LayZboy couch and loveseat with power recliners. I wish my single recliner was power with separate leg and back controls.

Just got the Cade model from FlexSteel delivered.

Very nice! Quick recliner mechanism, the power headrest is awesome and the lumber support, though not though of initially, is a great feature.

It seems well built, heavy and comfortable. We got the couch and a recliner.

They are smaller than the Ashley stuff we had, which was good , but almost 20yrs old and needed a little refreshing.

Just a FYI, Flexsteel has several lines that are made in Mexico or China.

Be very careful when buying Flexsteel and do your research!
