An electric reclining sofa transcends ordinary seating—it’s a revolution in relaxation.
With a simple button press, you can effortlessly adjust to your ideal comfort level, access integrated conveniences, and elevate the style of your living space.
However, not all electric recliner sofas deliver the same experience. To ensure you’re investing in the best, prioritize features that enhance both comfort and practicality.
From cutting-edge reclining mechanisms to smart technology and long-lasting upholstery, here are the three essential elements that distinguish a premium electric reclining sofa from the competition.
Relax in Style with Electric Reclining Sofas
From sleek styles to high-tech comfort, Urner’s has electric reclining sofas designed to fit your space and your lifestyle. Explore the collection today!
Shop Electric Reclining SofasComfort First: Adjustable Recline, Headrest, and Lumbar Support
The primary purpose of an electric recliner sofa is to provide unmatched comfort. That’s why adjustable reclining positions are a must.
Unlike manual recliners, which often have limited settings, an electric recliner allows for precise adjustments to achieve your ideal position—whether you’re lounging, watching TV, or taking a nap.
Power-adjustable headrests and lumbar support take comfort to the next level. With an adjustable headrest, you can tilt your head into the perfect position to watch TV without straining your neck. Similarly, built-in lumbar support provides targeted lower back relief, reducing pressure and promoting better posture.
It’s also important to consider electric recliner sofa dimensions and fit. A well-designed electric reclining sofa should support your body comfortably, with enough depth and width to accommodate different sitting preferences.

Stay Connected: USB Ports, Power Outlets, and Smart Controls
When it comes to power recliner sofa features, what matters most to you? Many modern electric recliner sofas come with built-in USB ports and power outlets, making it easy to charge your phone, tablet, or laptop while you relax.
This eliminates the need for extension cords and allows you to stay connected without getting up.
Beyond charging capabilities, smart control options add an extra layer of convenience. Some electric recliners feature memory presets that let you save your favorite positions for instant access. Others have intuitive touch panels or even app integration, allowing you to control your recliner from your smartphone.
Emerging trends in electric recliner sofas go beyond basic features. Are you longing for an electric recliner sofa massage? Indeed, some models now include massage functions, heating elements, or even zero-gravity positioning for weightless relaxation.
These luxury electric reclining sofa additions can provide spa-like comfort right in your own home, making your recliner the ultimate spot to unwind.
Style Meets Durability: Picking the Perfect Upholstery
A great electric reclining sofa isn’t just about comfort and technology—it should also complement your home’s style while standing up to everyday use. The upholstery you choose plays a big role in both aesthetics and durability, so it’s worth considering the pros and cons of different materials.
Leather is a popular choice for those who want a sleek, high-end look. It’s durable, easy to clean, and resistant to spills, making it ideal for households with kids or pets. However, it can feel firmer at first and may require occasional conditioning to maintain its appearance.
Fabric upholstery, on the other hand, offers a softer feel and comes in a wider range of colors and patterns. It’s a great choice for adding warmth and texture to your space, but it may require more maintenance to keep it looking fresh. Stain-resistant fabrics and performance materials can help make fabric recliners a practical choice for busy households. Canvas, denim, performance or outdoor fabrics, and microfiber are ideal fabrics for pet owners.
When selecting a recliner sofa, think about how it will blend with your existing decor. A bold leather piece can make a statement, while a neutral fabric sofa can seamlessly fit into various design styles. Choosing the right upholstery ensures that your recliner is not only comfortable but also a stylish addition to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Electric recliner sofas offer superior comfort, convenience, and durability compared to manual recliners. With precise reclining positions, built-in technology, and long-lasting materials, they enhance relaxation and daily living.
With proper care, an electric recliner sofa can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. The lifespan depends on factors like usage, upholstery material, and motor quality. Investing in a high-quality model ensures longevity and continued comfort.
Leather is best for high-traffic areas that require durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning. Plus, it adds a sophisticated look to your space. Fabric offers a softer feel and comes in more color options but may require more maintenance. The best choice depends on your lifestyle and style preferences.
Some models come with battery backup features that allow you to return the sofa to an upright position if the power goes out. However, most electric recliners require electricity to function fully, so it’s worth considering a backup power source.
Start by measuring the width, depth, and height of the area where you plan to place the sofa. Make sure to account for wall clearance if you choose a wall-hugger recliner. Also, check doorway and hallway dimensions to ensure smooth delivery.
Why Trust Urner's and Urner's Mattress?
Urner’s started on the back of a bicycle - yup! A bicycle! David E. Urner, a local high school teacher, who spent his summer months selling Wear Ever cookware off the back of a bicycle (think 100+ degrees). David teamed up with another local teacher, Errol P. Janes to create “a new type of store – one that would cater exclusively to providing an easier way of living for the women of Kern County”, and on September 19, 1919, Home Appliance Store was opened to the public. The store boasted a rather impressive selection of “modern” appliances, including a washing machine, a freezer, a gas range, an automatic dishwasher, and an assortment of small appliances. Since then, Urner’s has expanded selections to appliances, furniture, mattresses and cabinetry!
For nearly one century, the Urner family and Urner’s business have both been an integral part of Bakersfield and Kern County, with contributions to community (Better Business Bureau, Sister City Projects, Bakersfield Symphony), charity (Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Dream Home, House of Hope) and education (CSU Bakersfield, Ray Dezember Leadership Development Center.
