Similar to a sofa, you should expect to have a reclining sofa for at least seven to 15 years. Now, it's important to learn how long the warranty is on the power motor of your reclining sofa because they are often only covered for the first few years.

A recliner sofa is like having a bed in the living room. It's the best of both worlds. You can sit and kick out the footrest and binge-watch some shows whenever you want, and when you need a nap simply recline your backseat and you're all set.
