They can cost as little as $250, but, on the downside, tend not to last as long as those with levers, since the mechanism gets more of a workout.

After a hard day's work, there's nothing better than sitting and getting all comfortable and cozy in a soft, comfy chair. But finding a recliner that will perfectly fit your body and your budget at the same time (prices range from $250 to $5,000) isn't as relaxing and easy. If we're also adding quality, a decent lounger should last at least 10 years with regular use. Here's how to pick one that won't break down prematurely!
