Manual vs. Power Recliners: Which One Is the Best?
Sectional couches with recliners come with two main mechanisms: manual and power recliners.
If you’re looking for simpler and more affordable recliners, the manual ones are the answer. They don’t require a power source and can be operated with a lever or push-back motion.
Power recliners are more tech-savvy. They often include features like massagers and USB charging ports. All you need is to push the button.
If you prioritize convenience and tech integration, a power sectional recliner will be worth the investment. If you prefer simplicity and affordability, go for a manual one, since it can still deliver excellent comfort.

Materials That Match Your Lifestyle
When it comes to furniture, practicality and durability matter. Therefore, choose the right upholstery that matches your lifestyle.
Leather
There are two types of leather that you can choose: genuine and faux. Genuine leather ages gracefully over time, while faux leather offers a similar aesthetic at a lower cost. Both types are timeless, sleek and easy to clean.
Fabric
Soft and cozy. It’s recommended for you to look for performance fabrics that resist stains and fading. These fabrics are useful for you who have kids or pets, while suit casual interiors as well.
Microfiber
A great choice for busy households that want a comfortable yet low-maintenance and affordable surface.
It’s important to know your lifestyle first before choosing the material. Otherwise, you might end up spending time cleaning, rather than relaxing.
Measuring for the Perfect Fit
A stylish sectional couch will be a waste of money and time if it doesn’t fit your space.
To avoid this, you can leave at least 2-3 feet of walking space around the sectional. Another way you can try is center the sectional around a focal point like a TV or fireplace. Make sure your recliners have enough space to fully extend.
Pro tip: Use painter’s tape to map out the sectional footprint on your floor for a realistic sense of scale.
Matching Your Interior Style
A sectional couch should blend seamlessly with your decor.
-
Mid-Century Modern – Look for clean lines, wooden legs, and neutral tones.
-
Contemporary – Smooth leather, chrome details, and minimalist silhouettes.
-
Transitional – Combines comfort and elegance with soft fabrics and rounded edges.
-
Cozy Minimalist – Neutral colors, plush cushions, and subtle texture.
Sectional is your statement piece, which is why you have to treat it accordingly.
Care and Maintenance Tips
Keep your sectional sofa and recliner looking fresh by planning weekly vacuuming to remove crumbs and dust. Pay attention to where you place your sectional sofa, as direct sunlight can cause fading.
For the best results, you can condition leather every 6-12 months and a damp microfiber cloth for quick spot cleaning when spills happen. When it comes to maintenance, you just need to build good cleaning habits and stay consistent with them.
