Recliners

About

The recliner collection at American Home Furniture centers on Barcalounger and Fjords — two brands that together account for the majority of the 135-piece assortment. Fairfield Chair rounds out the selection with upholstered, traditionally styled recliners that hold their shape over years of use. Barcalounger vs. Fjords Barcalounger is the dominant brand here with 70 models covering everything from tight-back transitional chairs to power-reclining options with USB charging. Fjords, a Norwegian brand, takes a different approach — their recliners prioritize ergonomic lumbar support and are built with mechanisms designed for decades of smooth operation. Both brands are represented across multiple upholstery grades including full-grain leather and performance fabric. Manual, Power & Swivel Styles Manual recliners with push-back or side-handle mechanisms keep things simple, while power models from Barcalounger offer independent headrest and footrest controls. The Rome Swing Relaxer and similar swivel-glider configurations add motion beyond the traditional recline. Most models are available in standard and wide-body sizing to accommodate different builds. Placement & Pairing Recliners work best with 12–18 inches of clearance behind them in manual configurations, and less with power-recline models that don't need wall clearance. Pair with a side table sized to match the arm height. For full guidance on picking the right fit, see the complete recliner buying guide .
