What Is in This Collection?The black colourway of the Cidliano genuine leather electric recliner range — a recliner armchair, 2 and 3 seater sofas and a full ladder of sets. Note: at the time of writing about half the black range is in stock — including the 3 seater, 3+1, 3+3 and 3+1+1 — while several sets and the 2 seater are out.
About the Cidliano black recliner collection
This is the black colourway of the Cidliano genuine leather electric recliner range — a powered reclining collection covering a recliner armchair, single 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas, and a full ladder of reclining sofa sets, all in genuine leather. When fully stocked it is a complete black reclining suite in one design.
Availability is worth noting: at the time of writing about half the black pieces are in stock — the recliner armchair, the 3 seater sofa, and the 3+1, 3+3 and 3+1+1 sets — while the 2 seater and several other sets are out. If you like the Cidliano design, the same pieces also come in caramel, tan, cream and grey in the wider Cidliano electric recliner range.
A note on availability
We would rather be upfront than have you fall for a configuration you cannot buy today. Of the eleven black pieces, five — the recliner armchair, the 3 seater sofa, and the 3+1, 3+3 and 3+1+1 sets — are currently in stock, while the 2 seater sofa and the 2+1, 2+2, 3+2, 2+1+1 and 3+2+1 sets are out of stock. Several in-stock pieces show low quantities.
Stock does change, so treat the live product pages as authoritative and use the back-in-stock option on anything unavailable. If you need a black recliner sooner, our team can advise on timing on 02476 705 600, or point you to an in-stock alternative, whether in another Cidliano colour or from our wider recliner sofas range.
It is also worth saying that because these are powered leather recliners built to order in each colour, restock timings can vary between configurations, so the pieces available today may be joined by others over time. If your heart is set on a particular black size or set, registering for a back-in-stock alert is the surest way to hear the moment it returns, rather than checking back repeatedly.
Genuine leather
The whole range is genuine leather — real hide rather than a bonded or synthetic alternative — which makes it hard-wearing, breathable and naturally characterful, developing a soft patina over the years. It wipes clean easily, which is practical for a busy living room.
The exact grade and finish are not confirmed in the current data, so we describe it as genuine leather rather than claiming a specific grade; check the product page for the confirmed detail. To compare non-reclining genuine leather designs, see our genuine leather sofas collection.
Electric (power) reclining
Every piece in the Cidliano range is an electric, or power, recliner: a built-in motor tilts the backrest and raises the footrest at the touch of a button, so you can settle into any reclined position with almost no effort, then return it just as easily. There is no lever or push-back action to operate.
Because they are powered, each piece needs to be within reach of a mains socket, so plan the layout with power access in mind. The range is designed for relaxed, everyday comfort, and comfort is personal, so trying one in our showroom is worthwhile. To compare hand-operated designs, see our recliner sofas range.
Why black
Black is one of the most versatile and popular upholstery colours — a cool, contemporary neutral that suits almost any scheme and pairs easily with other colours, woods and metals. In genuine leather it reads as smart and modern, and it is more forgiving of everyday marks than a pale shade.
If black is not available in the size you need right now, the warm browns — caramel and tan — and the grey and cream options in the wider range are worth considering. To compare black across other designs and materials, see our black sofas collection.
What is in the black range
The black range covers a recliner armchair, single 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas, and a full ladder of sets from 2+1 up to 3+2+1. The numbers are the pieces, so a 3+2 is a three-seater plus a two-seater, and a 3+2+1 adds the recliner armchair, giving a coordinated powered suite.
Every piece is a powered recliner, so whichever format you choose you get the same effortless adjustment — availability permitting. To compare compact options, see two-seaters across ranges in our 2 seater sofas collection.
The recliner sofas and sets
The single 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas are the core of the range, suiting smaller rooms and main living rooms respectively. For larger spaces, the sets run from 2+1 and 3+2 up to 3+3 and three-piece 2+1+1, 3+1+1 and 3+2+1 combinations, giving a coordinated powered suite in one purchase.
Currently the 3 seater sofa and the 3+1, 3+3 and 3+1+1 sets (plus the armchair) are the available black options; the 2 seater and several other sets are awaiting restock. A set needs considerably more floor space than a single sofa, and because every piece reclines and needs power, plan the footprint, recline clearance and socket access carefully. To compare coordinated options, see our recliner sofa sets collection.
Styling a black leather recliner suite
Black leather is an easy anchor for a modern room. Against pale or white walls it looks crisp and contemporary; with warmer woods and richer accent colours it feels cosier. Because the finish is a smart, neutral black, you can restyle the room around it over the years with cushions, throws and rugs without the sofa ever looking out of place.
With a reclining suite, keep the styling practical: soft furnishings that are easy to move off the seats before reclining, and a layout that leaves the footrest path and power leads clear. If a coordinated look matters more than the exact colour, remember the same design is available in caramel, tan, cream and grey, and you can also compare tones in our black recliner sofas range.
Choosing the right size and allowing for recline
Start with how many people you seat and the space you have, then add the recline clearance and a route to a socket. A single 2 seater suits a smaller room; a 3 seater or a 3+2 set suits most living rooms; and a large three-piece set needs a generous space. Plan for the reclined depth, not just the upright footprint.
Exact dimensions are not confirmed in the current data, so treat the product-page measurements as the deciding factor, and mark the footprint plus footrest clearance on your floor before committing. If the black configuration you want is out of stock, the same layout is often available in another Cidliano colour.
As a rough guide, allow extra depth in front of every reclining seat so the footrest can rise without hitting a coffee table or wall, and think about where each person will sit relative to the nearest socket. Getting these practicalities right before you order matters more with a powered suite than with a static sofa, because the reclined position is part of how you will use it every day. If a three-seater is your priority, compare options in our 3 seater sofas collection.
Measuring and delivery access
Measure the length and depth of the space each piece will sit against, allowing for the footrest when reclined, and for a set plan the full footprint. Then measure the width and height of every doorway, hallway, stairwell and tight turn each piece must pass through, plus lift dimensions if you are above ground level.
Delivery to England and Wales is free and handled by our two-person team, and sets arrive as separate pieces, which helps with access. Whether a single recliner can be dismantled is not confirmed in the current data, so confirm the packaged dimensions on the product page before your delivery date. Our team can talk any awkward corners or fixed features through with you before you finalise your choice.
Caring for a genuine leather recliner
Wipe the surface with a clean, soft, dry or barely damp cloth to lift dust, and blot spills promptly rather than rubbing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads, and keep the sofa away from radiators and out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can dry leather over time. An occasional suitable leather conditioner helps keep it supple.
With a powered recliner, it also helps to operate the mechanism smoothly, keep the moving parts and footrest clear of obstructions, and route the power lead safely. Product-specific care codes are not confirmed in the current data, so always follow the care label on the individual product, and test any product on a hidden area first before using it more widely.

Frequently asked questions about the Cidliano black range
What is in the Cidliano black collection?
It is the black colourway of the Cidliano genuine leather electric (power) recliner range: a recliner armchair, single 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas, and a full ladder of recliner sofa sets from 2+1 up to 3+2+1. Please note that at the time of writing about half the black range is out of stock — see the availability question below — so check the live product pages before setting your heart on a particular configuration.
Which black products are actually in stock?
At the time of writing, five of the eleven black pieces are in stock — the recliner armchair, the 3 seater sofa, and the 3+1, 3+3 and 3+1+1 sets — while the 2 seater sofa and the 2+1, 2+2, 3+2, 2+1+1 and 3+2+1 sets are currently out of stock. Several in-stock pieces show low quantities, so treat the live product pages as authoritative and use the back-in-stock option on anything unavailable.
Is the Cidliano range available in other colours?
Yes. This is the black colourway; the wider Cidliano genuine leather electric recliner range is also available in caramel, tan, cream and grey, in the same designs and configurations, and those colours currently have good availability. If you like the Cidliano design but black is out of stock in the size you need, it is well worth browsing the other colours or calling us on 02476 705 600.
Is the Cidliano range real leather?
Yes. The range is described as genuine leather, meaning real leather rather than a bonded or synthetic alternative, which is hard-wearing, breathable and ages attractively. The exact grade and finish are not confirmed in the current data, so if the precise leather specification matters to you, please check the individual product page or call 02476 705 600 and we will confirm the detail.
What is an electric or power recliner?
An electric (power) recliner adjusts at the touch of a button, using a built-in motor to tilt the backrest and raise the footrest smoothly to any position, then return it. Unlike a manual recliner, there is no lever or push-back action, so it takes very little effort to operate. Because it is powered, it needs to be plugged into a mains socket.
Does an electric recliner need to be plugged in?
Yes. An electric recliner has a motor, so it needs to be near a mains socket to work. Plan the layout so each powered piece can reach a power point, ideally without a trailing lead across a walkway. Some powered recliners include a battery pack or USB port, but this is not confirmed in the current data, so check the product page or call 02476 705 600 if a nearby socket is a concern.
What is the difference between an electric and a manual recliner?
An electric (power) recliner adjusts with a button and a motor, giving effortless positioning, but needs a mains socket. A manual recliner is operated by hand with a lever or push-back action and needs no electricity. The Cidliano range is electric, so it offers the easier, powered adjustment; the trade-off is that it must be placed within reach of a socket.
How comfortable are the Cidliano recliners?
They are designed for relaxed, everyday comfort, letting you recline smoothly to any position for reading, watching television or unwinding, with the ease of powered adjustment. Comfort is a personal thing, so if you can, it is worth trying a recliner in our showroom before ordering.
What sizes and configurations does the black range include?
A recliner armchair, single 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas, and a full ladder of sets: 2+1, 3+1, 2+2, 3+2, 3+3, and three-piece 2+1+1, 3+1+1 and 3+2+1. The numbers are the pieces, so a 3+2 is a three-seater plus a two-seater, and a 3+2+1 adds the armchair. Bear in mind that most of these are currently out of stock in black, so check availability for the configuration you want.
What does a set like 3+2+1 mean?
The numbers are the pieces: a 3 is a three-seater sofa, a 2 a two-seater and a 1 the recliner armchair. So a 3+2+1 is a three-seater, a two-seater and an armchair; a 2+1+1 is a two-seater with two armchairs; and a 3+3 is two three-seaters. Every piece is a powered recliner, so a set gives you effortless reclining across the whole suite — subject to availability.
How much clearance and power access does a recliner need?
A powered recliner needs room in front for the footrest to rise, a little space behind for the backrest depending on the design, and a mains socket within reach of each piece. Plan for the reclined depth, not just the upright footprint, keep a walkway clear, and route power leads safely. Exact reclined dimensions are not confirmed in the current data, so check the product page.
How do I clean a genuine leather recliner?
Wipe the surface with a clean, soft, dry or barely damp cloth to lift dust, and blot spills promptly rather than rubbing. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, solvents and abrasive pads, and keep the sofa away from radiators and out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can dry leather over time. An occasional suitable leather conditioner helps keep it supple; always follow the product care label.
Can I remove and wash the covers?
No — genuine leather recliners have fixed upholstery rather than removable covers, and the powered mechanisms are built in, so the leather is cleaned in place. Follow the care guidance for cleaning and conditioning instead. If you have a specific question about a particular piece, check the product page or call our team on 02476 705 600 and we will confirm the details.
How much space do I need?
It depends on the configuration and the reclined depth. A single 2 seater or the armchair suits a smaller room; a 3 seater or a 3+2 set suits most living rooms; and a large three-piece set needs a generous space. Exact dimensions are not confirmed in the current data, so plan the full footprint plus recline clearance and socket access, and always check the product-page measurements before ordering.
How do I measure and check delivery access?
Measure the length and depth of the space each piece will sit against, allowing for the footrest when reclined, and for a set plan the full footprint. Then measure the width and height of every doorway, hallway, stairwell and tight turn each piece must pass through, plus lift dimensions if you are above ground level. Treat the product-page measurements as authoritative before ordering.
Can I register for a back-in-stock notification?
Yes. Because about half the black range is currently out of stock, this is well worth using. Any out-of-stock design offers a “notify me when back in stock” option on its product page; enter your email there and you will be alerted when that model returns. Alternatively, consider one of the other Cidliano colours, which currently have better availability, or call us on 02476 705 600.
Can I return a recliner, and what is the return window?
Yes. We offer a 14-day returns window, sometimes described as 14-day change of mind, so you have time to be sure the recliner is right for your room. Because these are large, powered items, please keep the packaging until you are certain and check the exact returns conditions. If you need to arrange a return, contact our team on 02476 705 600 and they will talk you through the next steps.
What should I do if the recliner arrives damaged or the motor faults?
Inspect the recliner on delivery, test the powered action if you can, and report any damage or fault to us as soon as possible on 02476 705 600 with photographs of the issue. Keeping the packaging and noting any concern at the point of delivery helps us resolve things quickly, so we can arrange a repair, replacement or other suitable resolution.
Do the recliners require assembly?
Assembly requirements are not confirmed in the current product data for this range. Powered recliners usually arrive largely ready to use — you plug them in — though some may need feet or a back section attaching, and sets involve several pieces. Please do not assume a particular setup. Check the individual product page, or call 02476 705 600 before ordering if access or assembly is a concern.
What warranty applies, especially on the motors?
We are not stating a specific warranty term for this range because the exact cover is not confirmed in the current product data, and we would rather leave it pending than quote a figure we cannot verify. This is particularly worth confirming for the powered mechanisms and motors. Please check the individual product page, or contact our team on 02476 705 600, before ordering.
How quickly is delivery, and is finance available?
The in-stock pieces currently show a short delivery timeframe on their product pages, and we treat the product-page timeframe as authoritative. Delivery is free to England and Wales by our two-person team. You can also spread the cost with PayPal Pay in 3, Klarna Pay in 3 or Pay in 30, Clearpay in 4 interest-free fortnightly payments, or DivideBuy, interest-free where stated and subject to credit check.
