What is the Annecy recliner range?

Annecy is our genuine leather electric recliner range. Every piece is upholstered in real leather and reclines electrically at the touch of a button, from single recliner armchairs and 2 and 3 seater sofas to matching sofa sets. It is designed as a premium, coordinated collection, so you can furnish a whole room in one consistent leather and style.

Is this genuine leather?

Yes. The Annecy range is made with genuine (real) leather, confirmed in every product title. Genuine leather is a natural hide that is soft and durable and develops its own character over time, which is what gives a real leather sofa its distinctive look and feel. It is a different material from leather-look upholstery, and it benefits from occasional specialist conditioning to keep it supple.

What sizes and configurations are available?

The range covers single recliner armchairs, 2 seater and 3 seater recliner sofas, and matching sofa sets in 2+1, 3+1, 2+2, 3+2, 3+3, 2+1+1, 3+1+1 and 3+2+1 combinations. That makes it easy to seat anything from one person to a full family room in the same leather and finish. Footprints vary between an armchair and a large set, so check the individual product page for exact dimensions before ordering.

What colours does the Annecy range come in?

Annecy is available in four colours: black, tan, grey and caramel. Tan and caramel give a warm, classic leather look, while grey and black suit more contemporary rooms and are more forgiving of everyday marks. Each colour is offered across the range, though exact availability by size and colour can vary, so check the product pages for what is currently in stock.

How does an electric power recliner work?

An electric, or power, recliner uses a built-in motor to recline smoothly at the touch of a button, letting you stop at any position rather than the fixed steps of a manual recliner. Because it is motorised, it needs to be within reach of a mains power socket. The whole Annecy range is electric, so every seat reclines this way.

What is the difference between genuine leather and leather-look upholstery?

Genuine leather is a natural hide with its own grain and texture that softens and develops character with use, and it benefits from occasional conditioning. Leather-look upholstery recreates the appearance of leather with an easy wipe-clean surface and less ongoing care. The Annecy range is genuine leather, so it offers the natural material and feel rather than an imitation.

How do I care for a genuine leather recliner?

Wipe genuine leather regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Apply a specialist leather conditioner every few months to keep the hide supple and help prevent cracking. Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, and deal with spills promptly by blotting rather than rubbing. Keep the reclining mechanism clear of obstructions.

How long does a genuine leather recliner last?

Genuine leather is one of the longest-lasting upholsteries when looked after, often improving in appearance as it ages. These recliners are built on sturdy frames with an electric mechanism designed for regular use and made to UK fire safety regulations. Conditioning the leather occasionally and operating the recliner gently rather than forcing it are the main things that keep an Annecy recliner looking and working well for years.

Are these recliners suitable for families and pets?

Genuine leather is a practical choice for busy homes because it wipes clean easily and does not trap dust or pet hair the way some fabrics can. Darker colours such as black and grey are especially forgiving of everyday marks. As the seats have moving parts, it is sensible to show younger children how to use them gently, and to keep pet claws trimmed to protect the leather.

Is finance available on the Annecy range?

Yes. You can spread the cost with PayPal Pay in 3, Klarna Pay in 3 or Pay in 30 (both interest-free), Clearpay in 4 interest-free fortnightly payments, or DivideBuy for longer-term plans.

How long does delivery take?

Most in-stock orders are delivered within 7 to 10 working days. Delivery is free to England and Wales and is carried out by our own two-person team, who bring the recliner in and position it, access permitting. Old sofa removal can be arranged if you would like your existing seating taken away. Delivery timings can vary at busy periods, so please check availability and timing when you order.

Do I need a power socket near the sofa?

Yes. Because the Annecy range is electric, each reclining seat needs to be within reach of a mains power socket to operate the motor. Plan where the sofa will sit with this in mind, and keep any cables tidy and out of walkways. If you would prefer a recliner that needs no power, ask our team about our manual reclining ranges.

What happens if my recliner arrives damaged?

If your recliner arrives with any damage or a fault, contact our team on 02476 705 600 as soon as possible and we will arrange to put it right. It helps to check the leather and the reclining mechanism on delivery and to report any issue promptly, ideally with a photograph, so we can resolve it as quickly as possible for you.

Do I need to assemble the recliner myself?

No. There is no flat-pack building for you to do. Our two-person delivery team brings the recliner or set in and positions it, connecting any sections and fitting any feet on-site, access permitting. You simply plug each seat in near a power socket to operate the reclining mechanism, so it is ready to use.

Can I return an Annecy recliner and what is the returns window?

Yes. We offer a 14-day change-of-mind returns policy, so you can order with confidence. If you would like to return a recliner, get in touch within 14 days of delivery and our team will talk you through the process.

What cover do I get if a fault develops after delivery?
