More features: hardware included, compact design, free-standing design
Our Editor’s Choice as one of the best RV recliners is the RecPro Charles 28” RV Euro Chair Recliner. This is just an overall fantastic lightweight recliner for your RV, and it will provide you supreme comfort at a great price. It is a swivel model, which allows you to not only stay fixed in one spot but also pivot around.
We really love the compact design of this modern recliner. It can easily fit into tight spaces while still maintaining maximum comfortability, which is a big plus for us. It won’t need much space as its dimensions are 38” W x 28” D x 27” H. Speaking of comfortability, that’s exactly what you’ll feel when you sit in this recliner. It is made of a polyurethane material, which is incredibly soft and durable, as well.
One thing that really stands out with this chair is that it just doesn’t look bulky at all, and that’s because of the lightweight materials, which only amounts to 50 pounds. A weight for a recliner this low should enable a single person to be able to maneuver this recliner into the RV without assistance. It comes in four colors, including chestnut, mahogany, putty, and toffee.
One of the pitfalls of this recliner is that taller people (anyone above 6-feet tall) mentioned that the footrest is not the most convenient because their feet dangle off. However, this only seemed to bother a few taller persons.
More features: 265 lbs. max capacity, foot protection
Taking home our top pick for Best Value RV recliner is the Homall Single Recliner Chair. It is, by far, one of the sleekest looking RV recliners on the market and is also very comfortable to sit and recline in.
Like the previous model in our list, the Homall Recliner is also made of polyurethane leather, which makes it smooth to the touch and provides you with a durable and long-lasting chair. Speaking of the materials, we should mention that this recliner goes a step further and offers double-thickened padding, ensuring that your entire body gets all the support it needs. When it is reclined, the footrest gives you more flexibility and comfort as it can be adjusted to your liking.
It comes in four distinct colors, including beige, black, brown, and gray. In terms of space, this recliner is very small, with dimensions of 27.6” W x 35.8” D x 38.6” H.
Many people that own this product have commented that they wish the width of the chair was just a tad bit wider. However, it is hard to complain since the price tag is pretty low. Thanks to its small dimensions, this recliner is also very light, coming in at 61 pounds. A single person should be able to bring this recliner into their RV without any issues. It can support a maximum weight of 265 pounds, which is quite a lot for such a small recliner.
More features: requires only 3″ from the wall, durable, easy to clean
We have to give some love to our favorite loveseat recliner, the RecPro Charles 58” Double RV Wall Hugger Sofa. This recliner is our Premium Pick, and while it may be on the more expensive side of recliners on the market, its features definitely make up for it.
This double-seat recliner is a wall hugger, so you’ll only need 3 inches from the wall to recline it fully. Double-seat recliners also offer a bit more flexibility than their single-seat counterparts. Thereby, you will be able to sprawl out completely and take a nap.
This recliner is made of polyurethane, which is a very long-lasting and also has stain-resistant qualities that make it easier to clean. Like the Charles 28” recliner, it also comes in the same chestnut, mahogany, putty, and toffee colors. Since it is a double-seat recliner, its dimensions are a bit more stretched out, and it comes out to 58” W x 38” H x 37” D. It is also on the heavier side as well, weighing in at 166 pounds. You will definitely need another person to help you move this recliner in your RV. As heavy as it may be, it is incredibly easy to assemble, since it comes in parts, and should take you no more than a few minutes to put together.
More features: high-density foam, easy to operate
Another fantastic RV recliner double-seat option is the Homelegance Resonance 60” Manual Loveseat. It is a regular recliner and provides premium comfort for one or two persons who relax on this recliner. You’ll be able to get into your favorite position by simply adjusting the lever.
At first glance, it screams of comfortability, and that’s exactly what you get with this recliner. It is made of a blend of bi-cast vinyl and polyurethane materials that, when added together, will ensure great comfort and durability as well. Moreover, this recliner looks very inviting thanks to the high-density foam that gives it a more full and overstuffed look. The leather appearance and feel of this recliner are what give it character and allow it to fit almost any interior since it comes in two popular colors, black and brown.
Like all double-seat recliners, this one is also particularly wide, and its dimensions are 62” W x 37.5” D x 38.5” H. It is also fairly heavy, and you’ll likely need extra help to move it around. Still, it should take you no more than 10 minutes to assemble this RV recliner.
As for issues, a few owners have noted frustrations with the shipping time of this recliner. If you plan on purchasing this recliner, it is best to double-check the expected delivery date. However, the majority of people who have bought this loveseat recliner absolutely love it.
More features: each side reclines separately, easy to operate, high-density foam for extra comfort
Similar in design to the Homelegance Resonance 60″ Manual Loveseat, the Divano Roma Furniture Recliner Loveseat is another superb double-seat recliner choice for your RV.
The Divano Loveseat also comes in brown and black color only and has a bonded leather makeup with its overstuffed and fuller construction thanks to the high-density foam. Having this provides your body with more comfort and support as there is more cushion to sustain your weight that is also complemented with a soft leather touch.
It is a regular recliner, but the beauty of this model is that each side can recline separately, meaning if you’re sitting on this recliner with your spouse, you both don’t have to be reclined at the same time. This loveseat weighs a fair 125 pounds and measures out to 56” W x 29” D x 39” H, which is much smaller than the Homelegance Loveseat. In terms of assembling this recliner, like most modern models, it is a very easy process that should be trouble-free. As durable as the material of this recliner is, a few owners have noticed that the stitching is not of the greatest quality, and some said it started to rip at the seams after a while.
More features: needs 4″ of clearance, high-density foam, polyester fiber
Our top choice as one of the best RV wall hugger recliners is the Handy Living Prolounger Chair. Handy Living has made a living out of making furniture that can accommodate and fit in well with smaller spaces, and that’s exactly what their Wall Hugger does.
This recliner only needs roughly four inches of space from the wall, so it shouldn’t take up too much room. This compact recliner is made of polyurethane leather that is soft, comfortable, and relaxing to sit in. Its padding is full of high-density foam and offers fantastic cushioning. In the frame of the chair, it has a coil-spring mechanism that allows you to feel like you’re sinking into the recliner.
This recliner only comes in the one brown color and takes up an average amount of space for a single-seat recliner with dimensions of 37.8” W x 34.8” D x 39.5” H. It is slightly on the heavier side weighing in at 66 pounds but is still light enough for one person to be able to move it into the RV. When you feel like relaxing, the lever will help with the recline so that you can enjoy this comfortable chair. Overall, this recliner is just a joy to have and is very easy to maintain as well.
More features: stable and durable, fast installation without tools, 275 lbs. max capacity
The FDW Leather Single Modern Sofa is a great single-seat option and is one of the best small recliners for RV’s. As the name states, it is made of polyurethane leather, which is a very durable type of material that fights off stains well. Since it is made of leather, it almost provides that smooth and premium feel that leather has.
What’s also nice about this recliner is that it comes in an array of colors so that you have some flexibility when it comes to trying to match your recliner with the décor of your RV. The colors it comes in include beige, black, blue, brown, fabric beige, gray, orange, and red.
This chair can be reclined by applying pressure with your back against the backrest. It lays out and provides nice comfort and support for your head and legs. Don’t be fooled by the size of this recliner either as it features a steel frame body inside, and this recliner can support a maximum of 300 pounds of weight on it. In terms of the dimensions, we’re looking at 30” W x 27” D x 31” H, which, when constructed, will hardly take up any space and will still make your RV feel spacious. It is also very lightweight as well, at only 58 pounds. This recliner is very simple to put together and does not require any necessary tools beforehand in order to complete its assembly.
The majority of people found this recliner to be quite comfortable, although there are a few of them who said it could have used a bit more padding to provide more support. However, this recliner is still a great purchase at a great price as well.
More features: durable materials, easy to clean
The Christopher Knight Home Teyana Black Leather Recliner Club Chair is one of the modern and, at the same time, simplistic looking recliners out there. It is very comfortable as well, thanks to its polyurethane leather design, which provides premium support and comfort.
While it is not real leather or else you would be paying significantly more for this recliner, its faux leather material still does a great job of providing ample support. After a long day of driving your RV, we can’t really think of a better recliner to sit and relax in than the Teyana Recliner. Like the other recliners that are made of polyurethane materials, this recliner is also easy to maintain and has a good stain-resistant quality to it.
This recliner only comes in the black color, but it should be able to match any RV décor seamlessly. Despite its simple and contemporary design, this recliner is surprisingly very heavy at 84 pounds. You may or may not need some assistance getting this recliner into your RV. On the other hand, that weight provides impressive durability. Once you do get it in, you won’t need ample amounts of space either as it measures out to 27.5” W x 28.5” D x 36.5” H. Overall, the Teyana is a really solid choice for a single-seat recliner.
More features: recliner and ottoman set, wooden frame, easy to clean
Looking much more of what you might expect to find in a corporate office boardroom, the Flash Furniture Contemporary Multi-Position Recliner is our top choice for most business-looking recliner. Whether you are a former CEO or executive at a company searching for the perfect recliner for your RV, look no further than this one.
It has a 360-degree swivel allowing you to have a full range of motion in your RV. The swivel has a ball-bearing base, which allows it to move around effortlessly. It comes in four colors: beige, black, brown, and vintage brown. As for the upholstery, this recliner features high-quality PU leather that is fairly stain-resistant and makes it easy to clean up. Despite its grand appearance, the Flash Furniture Recliner is actually incredibly lightweight at 54 pounds. The lightweight design will allow you to be able to bring this into your RV by yourself without any major issues.
The chair itself is not that large and measures out to 40” W x 32.8” D x 41” H. However, since it is slightly wider and taller than other single-seat recliners and comes with an ottoman chair, you might need a tad bit more space. If there is a downside to this recliner, then we should mention the padding that can be a bit stiffer than people would like.
More features: 265 lbs. max capacity, rubber feet, breathable material
The first and only linen-fabric recliner to make our top 10 list of the best RV recliners is the JUMMICO Fabric Recliner Chair. We think highly of this model as of the Best Fabric Recliner out there on the market.
It is a regular recliner, so you can change its position by exerting pressure on the back of the chair. While leather may get all the attention for being more comfortable, this linen recliner may surprise you as to how comfy it is. We especially love the light, soft, and breathable fabric that doesn’t feel stiff. The recliner has a thick foam padding, which also adds to the comfort level.
It comes in two, light-shaded colors of gray and light blue. As for dimensions, it is a lot smaller than most single-seat recliners and measures out to 28.8” W x 19.8” D x 38.6” H. As convenient as this chair is, many people have said it needs to be wider to allow for bigger people to be able to fit in this recliner comfortably. It has a weight of just shy of 60 pounds. Its construction is sturdy and built well enough to be able to handle a maximum of 265 pounds capacity. Another solid feature of this recliner is that it comes with rubberized feet, and this just means that if this recliner happens to shift around, it won’t leave scratch marks on the floor of your RV.
With the variety of options on the market, it can be hard to find the ideal RV recliner for your needs. Also, you might still have a few questions about this amazing piece of furniture in your mobile home. In this section, we will explore more in-depth about all the different things that go into making a great RV recliner. It is a great idea to take some notes while reading to simplify the whole process. So sit back, and let’s get this buying guide started!
Finding the right recliner for your RV shouldn’t be a tall task. Here, we will take closer look at the most important features of these chairs. Some of the things we’ll walk you through include the types of recliners, their upholstery materials, the comfort you expect to get, variety of colors available, dimensions, weight and the ease of installation. After reading this, you should be able to find the best model for your needs.
There is a number of different types of RV recliners, but in this article, we have mentioned regular recliners (push-back), swivel, and wall huggers.
Regular or push-back recliners are very popular and are operated without the use of a lever or button. The person sitting in this chair should push or lean on the back of the chair to recline it.
As the name suggests, swivel recliners allow you to pivot around when needed. This is a wonderful option for an RV due to the limited space, as you don’t even have to stand up to move. For example, the RecPro Charles 28″ is a fantastic durable swivel recliner with a compact design.
The wall hugger recliners use the RV space quite efficiently because they need a very small distance between the back of the chair and the wall to recline fully.
The RV recliners are not just limited to one person as there are loveseats that can recline too. For instance, the Homelegance Resonance 60″ Manual Loveseat is a perfect option for two persons, and it doesn’t require much time to assemble.
If you take a closer look at the models available on the market, the overwhelming majority of RV recliners are made of polyurethane leather and for a good reason. This cost-effective alternative to real leather is a great choice to provide overall comfort. It is slightly softer than leather, and it is very easy to maintain this particular type of material. Furthermore, it is fairly stain-resistant, and lots of people have agreed that it is easy to clean.
If the stain resistance is what you’re after, settle for an RV recliner that is made of polyurethane leather.
The JUMMICO Fabric Recliner Chair is the only model we reviewed that is made of a linen fabric that offers perfect breathability. It can be an excellent option for people who don’t really like leather.
RV recliners are incredibly comfortable to relax in and offer excellent lumbar support so that your back gets that stress relief. Some models have very soft padding that helps to cushion your body as you sit or lay on them. They should also have great headrests to provide optimal comfort for your head and neck. Let’s not forget about your feet as well as you’ll want them to feel relaxed too. Most RV recliners have an extension for your legs so you can sprawl out while you’re on them. Thus, you should expect to get your entire body supported. Moreover, some models like the Flash Furniture Contemporary Multi-Position Recliner come with an ottoman chair that you can use as additional leg support.
Like just about anything you can buy, RV recliners come in plenty of different colors. The majority of them are available in most common dark black and brown colors. Generally, the darker colors are better because they look a lot sleeker and provide more contrast for the inside of your RV. They also do a better job at hiding stains or any other scruff marks than lighter colored recliners. Still, it is entirely up to you and your style.
If you wish to get something bright, check the FDW Leather Single Modern Sofa. There are eight colors to choose from, so you can find the best match for your RV interior.
The dimensions of RV recliners can vary greatly, and you want to make sure that the model you like fits inside well without taking much space. On the other hand, you should get enough seat depth and back height to get maximum relaxation.
If you are a tall person, you will want to find a higher model to get the head and neck support. However, it can result in causing difficulties with space, as it will be larger. This is why we recommend wall huggers like the Handy Living Prolounger Chair that can be placed closer to the wall compared to regular recliners. Smaller chairs are also easier to move around when you need them to.
The weight of an RV recliner depends on the type of materials it is made of and how many people can sit on it. For single person recliners, we found that the recliners generally ranged in weight from 50-65 pounds, with the lightest one being the RecPro Charles 28″ RV Euro Chair Recliner at 50 pounds. For double-seat recliners, the weight varies somewhere between 120-170 pounds. The Divano Roma Furniture Recliner Loveseat is a great example of a lightweight and compact recliner for two persons, at just 125 pounds.
Don’t be daunted by the final assembled look of an RV recliner and thoughts like how to get in inside the RV. In truth, installing your RV recliner is very easy to do.
Huge amounts of RV recliners don’t require any installation at all and just come as they are. Therefore, you will be able to place it inside alone or with the help of somebody else.
Some RV recliners come in separate parts, and it’s easy just to bring in one part at a time and assemble it in your RV. This is because your RV entrance may or may not be wide enough to accommodate the entire recliner.
A few other RV recliners come with tools to help you install the recliner, but a good number don’t offer anything.
It would be a wise idea to check the description of the product beforehand and ensure you have the proper tools if it does require assembly.
As you would expect, the prices of RV recliners can range dramatically. There are lots of factors that determine the price, such as the materials used to make the chair, its features, and of course, its size. If you have a particular budget for your next RV recliner, we’ve made it easy for you by breaking down the prices of RV recliners into three pricing tiers: inexpensive, affordable, and premium.
The inexpensive tier of the best RV recliners includes anything that is under $250. The cheapest model here is the Homall Single Recliner Chair that costs $109. It is made of durable materials and has thickened padding that ensures optimal body support.
In the affordable price range ($250-$500), you’ll find our Editor’s Choice, the RecPro Charles 28″ RV Euro Chair Recliner at $390. Here you will get uncompromised quality, compact design and variety of colors.
Lastly, our premium RV recliners are anything over $500, and they generally include double-seat recliners such as the Homelegance Resonance 60″ Manual Loveseat at $570, and RecPro Charles 58″ Double RV Wall Hugger Sofa at $1,020.
We’ve taken a look at 10 of the best recliners for RV’s, but there are three, in particular, that stand out to us.
The first is our Editor’s Choice, the RecPro Charles 28” RV Euro Chair Recliner. This model provides great quality and value with its ultra-sleek and modern design. We really love this durable swivel model because it is easy to install.
The Homall Single Recliner Chair wins the day in the Best Value category. The thickened padding provides optimal support for your body, making you not want to get off of it.
Lastly, our favorite loveseat recliner is the RecPro Charles 58″ Double RV Wall Hugger Sofa. This wall hugger can save a lot of space in your RV, and it won’t take much time or effort to assemble. It needs just 3 inches of space between the wall and its back, and you’re all set with this relaxing recliner.
