What Are the Best Leather Recliners & Chairs?

Leather Club Chairs
Leather club chairs are reminiscent of the late 19th Century and the rise of gentlemen's clubs, intended for male bonding, sophisticated drinking, and cigar smoking. These thick-cushioned leather chairs with low backs, raised arms, and sometimes matching leather ottomans, are considered luxury furnishings for offices, living rooms, dens, and bedrooms.


Teagan Lounge Chair

Through the decades, masculine wood, stiff leather, and studded designs have evolved into more casual leather club chairs. Full-grain cowhide leathers have replaced pigskin upholsteries. Look for thick cushions and kiln-dried hardwood frames; leather on the seats, arms, and back of the chair should be top-grain leather for durability and softness. Pigmented leather offers chairs with more color choices, fewer imperfections, and a coating to protect against stains and fading.


Leather Accent Chairs
As with leather club chairs, leather accent chairs should be constructed around 1.25-inch hardwood frames, with built-in legs for sturdier chairs. Leather accent chairs made of split leather lack softness and durability. Unlike leather club chairs, leather accent chairs have a visible frame and offer more styles ranging from casual to elegant. Full- and top-grain leather club and accent chairs mold to the body, yet retain their shape for years. Matching leather ottomans add the comfort of a recliner; hollow leather ottomans open for storage, leaving space for magazines, games, and craft projects. Ottomans are common to casual seating and double as extra seating.


Leather Recliners
Football games and movies are better when viewed from the comfort of a eather recliner strategically placed in front of the TV. Select a recliner with a strong sturdy frame, a wide range of reclining positions, and good back and neck support. Ergonomically correct leather recliners, made of full- and top-grain cowhide, pigmented leather, or dyed aniline leather are conducive to healthy relaxation. Spills quickly clean up from leather; leather chairs clean up with a soft cloth and grow in beauty with use.
