Sit Back & Relax: 10 Sleek, Comfortable Modern Recliners

Let’s be honest: when we hear the word “recliner,” we may think of comfort, but we also instantly think of an overstuffed monstrosity that belongs in a home stuck in the 1980s or beyond. At the same time, after all that holiday indulgence over the past few days (or again, if we’re being honest, it’s probably more like weeks), tilting back and taking a nap in an uber-comfy easy chair pretty much sounds like heaven right now. So, we’ve met ourselves in the middle as our middles are beginning to expand, and we’ve pulled together a roundup of ten super-sleep, mega comfortable modern recliners for sleeping away all our high-calorie holiday sins. There’s even a high-tech “energy pod” (also known as a “short rest facility”) used by the employees of Google to catch a midday power nap every once in a while, as well as a formidable-looking chair with an LED windshield of sorts to help with things like seasonal affective disorder and stress (Seattle residents, are you listening?) So sit back, relax, and enjoy today’s holiday curation of ultra-comfortable easy chairs worth sinking into for a long winter’s nap. Happy holidays, everyone.
