Reclining Outdoor Sofa Sets: Are They Worth It?

Key takeaways

  • Reclining outdoor seats let you sit up for drinks and lean back to read or nap, all in the same chair.
  • The Annecy 3 Seat Sofa Set (€1,999) has reclining armchairs; the Annecy Corner Sofa Set (€2,399) includes a reclining chair.
  • Annecy has a 97cm high back, Grade A teak arms, powder-coated aluminium frames and an included weather cover.
  • Allow extra space behind a reclining chair, and try the recline in a showroom before you buy.
  • Cushion covers are 350g spun polyester and machine washable at 30°C.

A reclining outdoor chair is worth it if you like to switch between sitting upright and leaning back: for reading, watching the sunset or an afternoon siesta. Our Annecy range combines high-back sofas with reclining chairs, teak arms and an aluminium frame, so you can relax more deeply without leaving the sofa set.

Here's what to consider before choosing a reclining outdoor sofa set. See the Annecy collection.

What are the pros and cons of reclining outdoor seats?

Pros Things to consider
Sit up for meals and drinks, lean back to relax Needs extra space behind the chair when reclined
A more relaxed position without moving to a sun lounger Check the recline feels right for you before buying
High backs support your head and shoulders Keep the mechanism clean and free of sand and leaves

How much space does a reclining chair need?

Plan for the chair's 85cm depth plus clearance behind it to recline, and keep walkways of around 60–90cm. Avoid placing a recliner hard against a wall or railing. The easiest way to judge the space is to try the recline in one of our showrooms.

Where does a reclining sofa set work best?

  • West-facing terraces for sunset watching.
  • Under a pergola for shaded afternoon naps.
  • Terraces with a view, where you'll want to lean back and look out.
  • Smaller spaces where there's no room for separate sun loungers.

How do you look after Annecy furniture?

Wash the aluminium with mild soapy water, clean the teak arms gently with the grain, wash cushion covers at 30°C, and use the weather cover during wet or windy spells. Brush sand and leaves away from the reclining chair's moving parts.
