The Tanya Grey range is a comfortable, easy-living collection of electric recliner sofas upholstered in soft grey fabric. Each piece leans back and raises a footrest at the touch of a button, so you can put your feet up and relax, and with a piece for every room — from a single armchair to a full suite — it's easy to furnish a whole living room in one design. To see the full choice of recliner sofas across the store, our recliner sofas collection is a good place to start.
The Tanya Grey is upholstered in soft, woven fabric — warm and cosy to sit on, and one of the most inviting materials for a sofa you'll relax on every day. We keep fabric clearly distinct from leather and from leather-look Leather Aire, so you always know what you're buying; fabric has its own comfortable, textured feel and is cared for by vacuuming and spot-cleaning rather than wiping like a leather finish. The exact fabric detail for this range is shown on the product page. To explore the wider fabric choice across the store, our fabric sofas collection is a good reference.
Each Tanya Grey is a powered recliner. Rather than a lever or push-back, the recline is driven by a quiet motor: press and hold the button or handset and the sofa leans back and raises its footrest smoothly, stopping wherever you let go, so you can find a comfortable position and return upright just as easily. Because it's powered, each piece needs to sit within reach of a mains socket. Some models also include handy extras such as a USB charging point — the product page lists what each one has. To see the wider powered range across the store, our electric recliner sofas collection is a good reference.
You can choose a single armchair, a 2 seater or a 3 seater, or a matching combination to furnish a whole room. Combinations are written as a simple sum, where each number is a piece by its number of seats: 3 is a 3-seater, 2 is a 2-seater and 1 is an armchair. So 2+1 is a 2-seater plus an armchair, 2+2 is two 2-seaters, 3+1 is a 3-seater plus an armchair, 3+2 is a 3-seater plus a 2-seater, 3+2+1 is a full suite of a 3-seater, a 2-seater and an armchair, and 3+3 is two 3-seaters — with 2+1+1 and 3+1+1 (a sofa plus two armchairs) available too. Note that in a combination, each powered piece needs its own reach to a socket. To browse coordinated sets across the store, our sofa sets collection is a good reference.

Grey is a cool, contemporary neutral and one of the most versatile colours you can choose — it works with almost any scheme, from crisp modern whites to warm woods and bold accent colours. In soft fabric it feels calm and cosy, giving a room a relaxed, modern feel. As a mid-tone, grey is reasonably forgiving of everyday marks, which makes it an easy, practical choice for a busy living room. It pairs beautifully with blues, mustard, blush and natural textures. To see the wider choice of grey pieces across the store, our grey sofas page shows the full range.
Start with your room and how many people you need to seat. For a smaller room, a 2+1 (a 2-seater and an armchair) or a single 3-seater gives comfortable seating without crowding the space. For a family room, a classic 3+2, a 3+2+1 suite or a 3+3 seats everyone with room to spare. A single electric recliner armchair is a great extra seat, and individual pieces give you flexibility — just remember each powered piece needs to reach a socket. To see the wider choice of single seats, our armchairs range is a good place to look.
Fabric is straightforward to look after with a little regular attention. Vacuum it regularly with an upholstery tool to lift dust and crumbs, and plump the cushions to keep them comfortable and even. Blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and check the care label before using any cleaning product, testing it on a hidden area first. Keep the sofa out of prolonged direct sunlight to avoid fading, and as these are electric, keep liquids away from the handset and power lead and keep the moving parts clear.
A recliner needs a little more space than a fixed sofa, so measure carefully. Allow clearance behind each piece for the backrest as it leans back, and space in front for the footrest to rise — the product page lists the reclined depth for each model. As every piece here is electric, plan for it to sit within reach of a mains socket, and in a combination think about where each piece and its socket will go. And, as with any sofa, measure your access route — doorways, hallways and stairwells — before you buy. Our sofa buying guide covers measuring up in detail.
Yes. Every Tanya Grey piece meets UK Fire Resistant (UKFR) standards, so the materials and construction comply with the fire-safety regulations required for upholstered furniture sold in the UK. This is a baseline legal requirement rather than an optional extra, and it applies across every piece and combination.
Most in-stock Tanya Grey pieces are delivered within 7–10 working days, with free delivery. Delivery is carried out by a two-person team who bring each piece into your chosen ground-floor room, access permitting, and set it in place; old sofa removal can be arranged if you'd like your existing seating taken away at the same time. As a recliner suite is a large delivery, it's worth measuring your doorways and hallways in advance. Full timescales and coverage are on our delivery information page.
