To determine which recliner size is right for you, measure the available space in the room where you’d like to place it. Keep in mind that you will need 12 inches of space (or more) between the recliner and the wall. Once you know the measurements of your space, check the dimensions provided by the manufacturer of each recliner that you're considering.  In addition to finding a recliner that will fit the space, you will also want to ensure that you'll fit comfortably in the chair. Look for information about the recommended height and weight for each recliner for the right fit.
