Parker Knoll Recliner Chairs

Why choose a Parker Knoll recliner chair?

Established in 1869, Parker Knoll have been designing and developing outstanding furniture for over 150 years. The development of the Parker Knoll recliner began in 1966, with the Cromwell Norton, the first ever new generation recliner, being offered for sale in the same year. To this day, Parker Knoll has continued to lead the industry in design, technology and innovation. All Parker Knoll recliner chairs are handmade in the UK by expert craftspeople using the best quality materials. This ensures that you'll get a chair that is not only supremely comfortable but will last for years to come. With sprung seats, sumptuous cushioning and high backs, recliners are both supportive and comfortable. Manual and power reclining options are available to suit your needs. One model is even a recognised medical lifting aid that can take you from fully reclined to standing in one smooth motion. Choose from a selection of beautiful upholstery fabrics and soft premium leathers and find a look to complement your décor.

What is the difference between Parker Knoll recliner armchairs and rise and recline chairs?

Depending on what armchair will suit your needs best, you can choose between recliner chairs and lift and rise chairs. The Parker Knoll recliner armchairs let you find your perfect relaxed position with ease by controlling the tilt of the chair and the elevated footrest. But if you need assistance getting up or sitting down, the lift and rise armchairs have a lifting mechanism to support you, as well as reclining functions of a standard recliner. You can raise the seat and tilt the back forward with the touch of a button. Getting up and sitting down safely is so much easier with a lift and rise chair.

What do the features power headrest and power lumbar mean?

The Parker Knoll recliner armchairs come with advanced functions for precise back, neck and head support. The power headrest allows you to tilt the top part of the backrest forward or backward. So, whether you want to watch TV, read or get up more comfortably, you can easily activate this function for that extra support. Finding the best lumbar support is not always easy. But armchairs built with a power lumbar function can adjust to match the curvature of your spine thanks to the support cushion in the lower part of the backrest which is completely adjustable. This way you can reduce the gap between your lower spine and the sofa's backrest for a more comfortable sitting position. Many of the recliner armchairs from Parker Knoll come with both features included. Just browse the full range and find the one for you.
