Recliner armchair maintenance

A recliner armchair is designed to provide everyday comfort, but it also incorporates mechanisms that require proper use and maintenance.

With a few simple care routines, you can keep your armchair in perfect condition for many years, both aesthetically and functionally.

1. The initial break-in period is normal

During the first few weeks of use, it is normal to notice changes in the seating feel.

• Cushions may become slightly softer
• Materials adapt to your weight and body shape

This is part of the product’s natural adjustment process. It is recommended to use all seats evenly to avoid differences in firmness.

2. Proper use of the recliner mechanism

The mechanism is one of the key elements of the armchair, so correct use is essential.

Some important recommendations:

• Do not drag the armchair
• Do not sit on the arms or backrests
• Avoid forcing moving parts
• Make sure the mechanism is fully closed before standing up

Incorrect use may damage the structure or mechanism.

3. Care of cables and battery

If your armchair is motorised, there are several key points to keep in mind:

• Keep cables properly positioned and free from snagging
• Prevent cables from twisting or becoming damaged
• Follow the correct battery charging cycles
• Do not leave the battery unused for long periods

Proper care helps avoid operational issues.

4. Cleaning the mechanisms

Maintenance is not only about the exterior. To ensure smooth operation:

• Clean the mechanisms with a dry cloth
• Prevent dust build-up
• Lubricate metal parts with suitable products (silicone or white grease to avoid staining the floor or carpet)
• Check that sliding systems operate correctly

It is important not to apply products directly onto the fabric.

5. Upholstery care

Many recliner armchairs include removable elements.

• Seat duvet covers can be washed
• It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions
• Correctly positioning the cushions helps prevent wrinkles

Proper maintenance extends the life of the upholstery fabric.

6. Small habits that make a difference

Simple habits can help keep your armchair in better condition:

• Position cushions correctly
• Avoid incorrect sitting postures
• Keep the area around the armchair clean
• Leave the recliner open to make cleaning easier (for example, when using a robot vacuum cleaner)

Small details can make a big difference over time.
