The Complete Guide to Luxury Recliners in India

Most recliner purchases in India are made on two criteria: size and price. Both are the wrong place to start. A recliner is the most mechanically complex piece of furniture in your home.

By Rohan Shah

India's recliner market has grown dramatically in the last five years. The combination of work-from-home culture, larger apartment footprints in new developments, and rising HNI demand has put recliners at the centre of the modern Indian living room. Most of what's being bought, however, is engineered to fail within 3 years.

What separates a 3-year recliner from a 20-year recliner

Mechanism. Specifically: motor count, motor brand, frame quality and switch quality. A 1-motor Chinese mechanism on a softwood frame will fail in 18–36 months. A 3-motor German mechanism (Dewert, Linak) on a kiln-dried hardwood frame will outlast the upholstery.
