This collection brings together twenty leather-look armchairs across three styles: classic fixed armchairs, manual recliner chairs and electric recliner chairs, drawn from seven ranges - Verona, Valerie, Sienna, Valencia, Valencia Electric, Roma and Cinema. Whether you're adding a single seat to an existing suite, replacing a tired reading chair, or building a dedicated film-night corner, there's a design and a colour here to match, and current prices for every chair are shown in the product listing above.
An armchair is also the easiest piece of seating to place: it fits rooms a sofa can't, moves when your layout changes, and gives one person a genuinely comfortable seat of their own. If you'd like to compare single seats across every material and price point, our full armchairs collection covers the complete range.
Three styles are available. The fixed armchairs - Verona, Valerie and Sienna - have no moving parts: a classic silhouette that sits tight against a wall and suits any room. The manual recliners - Valencia and Roma - recline using a lever or pull action, so there's nothing to plug in and you can position them anywhere. The electric recliners - Valencia Electric and the Cinema cup-holder chairs - recline smoothly at the touch of a button and need to sit within reach of a power socket.
Every chair is a single-seat design, and most ranges here also produce matching sofas, so a chair can start a suite or complete one. Exact seat heights, widths and reclined depths are listed on each product page - worth checking if the chair is for someone particularly tall or short, as recliner comfort depends on how the footrest and backrest match the sitter.

Every armchair in this collection is upholstered in Leather Aire - a hard-wearing, leather-look material that gives you the smart appearance and wipe-clean practicality of leather without the specialist conditioning genuine hide needs. It holds its colour well, copes with everyday knocks and spills, and day-to-day care is as simple as a wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Full material details are listed on each product page.
If you specifically want natural hide, our genuine leather sofa ranges are listed separately, so you can compare the two materials honestly before deciding - genuine leather develops character over time but asks for more care; Leather Aire keeps a consistent look with almost none.

A fixed armchair has no mechanism at all: nothing to operate, nothing to service, and the slimmest footprint, because no clearance is needed for a reclining backrest. A manual recliner uses a lever or pull action - you lean back and the footrest rises with the backrest. It needs no power, so it can sit anywhere in the room. An electric recliner moves on a motor at the touch of a button, letting you stop at any angle between upright and fully reclined - the most effortless option, and a real help for anyone with limited hand strength, but it must sit within reach of a socket.
Neither recliner type is better outright: manual keeps things simple and flexible, electric adds precision and ease. The mechanism for each chair is described on its product page.
Twelve of the twenty chairs recline - seven with a manual mechanism and five electrically - while the eight fixed armchairs are non-reclining by design. The Recliner filter above lets you narrow the collection to exactly the type you want: Electric Recliner, Manual Recliner or Non Recliner.
If you'd rather have reclining comfort across the whole household than in a single seat, our recliner sofas collection covers two and three-seat reclining designs in the same spirit.
And for anyone who needs help getting out of a chair as well as reclining in it, our rise and recline chairs add powered lift assistance - worth comparing before you choose if mobility is part of the decision.
Six colours are available: black, brown, cream, grey, tan and mustard. Black is the most widely stocked and the most forgiving in daily use. Brown and tan bring classic warmth that suits traditional rooms and pairs naturally with wooden furniture. Cream and grey are the versatile neutrals, brightening smaller spaces and sitting comfortably alongside most schemes. Mustard - on one Valencia recliner - is the statement choice, adding a deliberate splash of colour against neutral walls.
An armchair is also a lower-commitment way to introduce a bolder shade than a full sofa: if mustard or tan tempts you but feels risky across three seats, one chair lets you test the look. And if you'd like these kinds of shades in soft upholstery instead, our fabric sofas range covers the alternative to leather-look finishes.
The Cinema range does what the name promises: each Cinema electric recliner armchair includes two built-in cup holders, one in each arm, so drinks stay level and within reach while you're reclined. Combined with the smooth electric mechanism, they're built for long evenings in front of a film or the football, and they come in black, tan and grey to suit most rooms. If your living room doubles as a home cinema, this is the chair the rest of the seating arranges itself around.
Four decisions will narrow twenty chairs to the right one: mechanism, colour, space and how the chair fits your existing seating. For sofa-and-chair buying principles beyond this range, our sofa buying guide covers the full decision in more detail.
Be honest about how the chair will be used. A reading chair or occasional guest seat doesn't need a mechanism - a fixed Verona, Valerie or Sienna keeps things simple and never dates. A chair you'll relax in every evening earns its recliner mechanism quickly and repays the choice daily.
If you've settled on a recliner, choose manual for simplicity and complete freedom over where the chair sits, or electric for effortless push-button control - especially worthwhile if you'll recline often or have limited hand strength. Check there's a socket within reach of your chosen spot before ordering an electric design.
Match the chair to what's already in the room rather than choosing it in isolation. Black and grey suit contemporary schemes, brown and tan warm up traditional rooms, cream lifts darker spaces, and mustard works as a deliberate accent against calm, neutral backgrounds.
Check the dimensions on the product page against your space - and for recliners, allow clearance behind and in front of the chair for the backrest and footrest to open fully. Measure doorways and hallways on the delivery route too. Our team on 02476 705 600 can talk you through any chair's measurements before you commit.
Several ranges in this collection - including Verona, Valencia, Roma and Cinema - also produce matching sofas and sofa sets, so an armchair here can complete an existing suite or start a new one. Check the individual product page to see the matching pieces available in each range. Pairing a chair with a 2 seater sofa is a popular route for smaller living rooms, giving three proper seats without one long sofa dominating the wall.
For a fully coordinated living room in one decision, our 3+2 sofa sets pair naturally with a matching armchair from the same range - the classic three-piece arrangement, assembled from pieces designed together.
Leather Aire is one of the easiest upholstery materials to live with, and a light routine keeps it looking new. Wipe the chair over with a clean, slightly damp cloth as part of your normal cleaning, and deal with spills promptly rather than letting them sit. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, solvents and abrasive sponges, which can damage the surface coating - plain water on a soft cloth handles almost everything. Keep the chair out of strong, direct sunlight where possible, and away from direct contact with radiators, as prolonged heat and light can affect any upholstery finish over time.
Recliner designs deserve one extra habit: operate the mechanism smoothly rather than forcing it, keep the footrest area clear of objects and pets before closing, and if a mechanism ever feels stiff, stop and check rather than pushing through it. Cared for this way, a Leather Aire armchair keeps its looks with a fraction of the effort genuine leather asks for - no conditioning products, no specialist treatments, just a wipe-down and a little common sense.
Delivery is free to England and Wales: ground-floor delivery by a two-person team within 7–10 working days.
