Speaking as someone who loves kicking back and watching a good episode (or five), I totally understand how important it is to find the best TV recliner on the market.
There’s nothing better than sinking into a comfortable seat at the end of a long day and turning on your favorite show or movie.
But when it comes to binge-watching, not all chairs are created equal.
(And not all regular recliners can provide the comfort level needed for extended TV-watching sessions.)
Fortunately, the good news is that today there are a ton of brands offering well-made, affordable and comfortable TV chair recliners that also happen to look great in your living room.
To help you find the best recliner for your budget, tastes and room décor, in this post we’ve rounded up more than two dozen of the best recliner chairs for watching TV.

Leni 33.5” Wide Manual Standard Recliner
Rating:
- 4.5 Stars
- 17,364 Reviews
Advantages:
This comfortable recliner from Andover Mills is the perfect choice for watching TV or curling up with a good book.
Available in a huge range of colors, it combines classic looks with a compact size, making it perfect for smaller spaces.
The cushions are made from a comforting blend of polyester fiber foam filling and sinuous springs, while the soft fabric is comforting, cozy and easy to clean.

These recliners are very roomy and super comfortable without taking up a lot of space.
The recliners look great in the area I have them in and achieve the look I wanted….
They are just as described and I would definitely order them again.

Advantages:
Providing a modern look and a handy massage feature for ultimate comfort, this compact recliner offers great value.

Plus, it’s only about 20 inches wide, so it’s compact enough to fit in a small space.

I bought two of these for my family room. They are a perfect smaller size, but not at all “small”. I love that they rock, recline, AND swivel.
