Designed to Fit the Room
Recliners are often associated with bulky designs, but Stickley takes a different approach. Stickley upholstered and leather recliners are built to blend into a living room rather than stick out.
Stickley upholstered and leather recliners are built with simple lines and balanced proportions, which allows them to easily blend with sofas, sectionals, and accent chairs rather than standing out. They provide the function of a recliner without disrupting the layout or flow of the room. Newer Stickley recliners also offer more petite frames, right-sized to comfortably accommodate a smaller sitter. This makes it easier to incorporate comfort into a space without compromising design.
Fabric Upholstery or Leather: Choosing the Right Material
Both fabric upholstery and leather offer unique advantages, and the right choice depends on how the recliner will be used.
Upholstered recliners provide a softer feel and allow you to choose from a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. They work well in spaces where comfort and customization are priorities. On the other hand, leather recliners provide superior durability and a natural surface that develops a patina over time, giving the recliner character. They’re a great option for high-use seating areas and for those who prefer a material that becomes more distinct with age.
Both materials are built to the same construction standards that have defined Stickley for 125+ years. The decision comes down to how the chair fits your lifestyle and the overall look you want to achieve.
Stickley was also recognized for the second year in a row by Furniture Today, earning the title of Best Luxury Furniture Brand in 2024 and 2025. This award is chosen by luxury furniture industry leaders nationwide and displays the trust they place in Stickley’s craftsmanship. It also showcases the continued commitment of Stickley’s staff and craftspeople to building luxury furniture that performs at the highest level. That same dedication is applied to every upholstered and leather recliner we produce.
Stickley's Walnut Grove and Surrey Hills Recliners have both been honored with the Pinnacle Award from the International Society of Furniture Designers. See each piece:
Engineered to Stay Comfortable Over Time
Stickley recliners are designed to maintain their comfort and structure for decades, even through consistent, daily use. Cushions are built to hold their shape while gradually softening over time to create a more relaxed feel. Upholstered materials maintain their original structure, and leather develops a natural patina that adds depth and character to the recliner.
Rather than breaking down like most mass-produced furniture, these high-quality materials adapt to daily use over the years. An upholstered or leather recliner from Stickley becomes more comfortable over time while still providing the support it did on day one.
For Interior Designers: Choosing an Upholstered or Leather Recliner for Your Project
Recliners can be challenging to incorporate into a layout because of their bulky design. Stickley solves this problem. Stickley recliners are built with proportions and styling that allow them to integrate more easily into full-room layouts, while still meeting the necessary quality and comfort standards.
Interior designers can select from a range of custom upholstery and leather options to match other seating pieces and finishes in the room. Interior designers can work with design consultants at a Stickley showroom to review materials, product details, and configurations to align with clients’ design goals. This helps make sure recliners integrate with the overall design and don’t feel out of place.
