Sorrento Recliner Armchair, Cream Faux Leather

The Sorrento recliner armchair uses a manual mechanism, operated by a single pull-handle on the right side. There is no motor, battery or power cable involved, so nothing needs charging or plugging in, and there is one less mechanical part that can eventually fail compared with an electric recliner. Most people find the pull-and-lean motion becomes second nature after the first couple of uses.

No, the Sorrento is a fixed-position recliner rather than a swivel design. If rotating to face different parts of the room is important to you, it is worth checking a swivel-specific recliner instead, since the Sorrento's frame and mechanism are built for recline function rather than rotation.

Interio recommends a required distance of 8cm from the wall behind the armchair, along with a minimum access width of 66cm to the side, to allow the footrest and backrest to move freely through their full range. This makes it a genuinely practical option for rooms where a large wall-hugging clearance simply is not available.

Yes. At 98cm wide, the Sorrento recliner armchair is considerably more compact than most recliner sofas while keeping the same seat height, depth and recline mechanism as the wider Sorrento range. It works well in a smaller living room, a bedroom corner or as a single accent chair rather than requiring the floor space a full recliner sofa set would need.

Yes. Faux leather has a smooth, consistent surface that does not trap heat the way some heavier fabrics can, and it wipes clean easily if used daily with food, drinks or pets nearby. Combined with the Sorrento's foam and fibre-wrapped pocket sprung seat, it gives a supportive, medium-firm sit that holds up well to regular use rather than just occasional sitting.
