Know before you buy
This recliner is designed for versatility, offering rocking, swiveling, and gliding motions. It also functions as a wall-hugger recliner, allowing you to fully recline without needing significant clearance behind the chair.
No, the lift assist function is an optional add-on. You should specify if you require this feature when placing your order, as it is designed to help those who need extra support when standing up.
The Theo is designed with a smaller footprint, measuring 30 inches wide. Its narrow arms and compact profile make it an excellent choice for tighter living spaces, nurseries, or bedrooms where a bulky recliner wouldn't fit.
The seat features high-resiliency, high-density foam wrapped in polyester for a balance of softness and durability. It is supported by heavy-gauge sinuous springs, which provide a consistent, firm foundation that resists sagging over time.
Yes, the back cushion is filled with fiber blown into channels to ensure the material stays evenly distributed. The unique design, inspired by a toss pillow, offers a plush feel while maintaining a structured, supportive shape.
You can customize the Theo in leather, faux leather, or fabric. Each material option is selected to complement the chair's sleek piping trim and tailored aesthetic.
