Leather ReclinersCorinthian Leather Recliners
Who makes the best leather recliners for simple designs? When it comes to the selection at Bob Mills, we like to start our shoppers off with Corinthian leather recliners. The modest catalog showcases refined designs that you might see in a gentleman’s quarters, a formal living room, a traditional living area, and settings with similar aesthetics and purposes.
The styles offered across the Corinthian stock are assembled entirely in the U.S. with international parts, making it one of many domestic recliner manufacturers Bob Mills carries. If you happen to visit one of our locations, make sure to try one of these leather recliners out to experience features like MicroDynamic foam with plush responsiveness, as well as power headrest and reclining to find the best angle to relax during your favorite pastime.
We Recommend: The Gazelle Leather Power Recliner
This leather power recliner has all the character of traditional design in a sleek build that means business. Standouts include the padded armrests, which also have studded faces for a classy combination of grace and grunge. Not to mention the deep leather upholstery that wraps every inch of this Corinthian recliner in luxury. Enough talking — settle in on the padded back, kick up your feet with the cozy footrest, and adjust this seat to your ideal position to start relaxing in decadence.
Caselli Leather Recliners
Who makes the best leather recliners for value? From our collection, we often recommend Caselli recliners to shoppers who don’t want to splurge but also want a quality recliner. Caselli furniture — which is only available through select dealers like Bob Mills — is a level up from Corinthian due to the extra steps the brand goes through during construction. That includes a 350-pound recliner mechanism, steel boxes and frames, and high-density foam, all of which ensure a longer lifespan for the recliner you choose.
Compared to Corinthian, Caselli steps further out of the box when it comes to design choices. The line includes inspiration from classic looks, modern concepts, and even hints of luxury automation. Caselli provides a selection of faux leather and top-grain leather upholstery options for its recliners, which come available in manual, power, rocker, and glider recliner varieties.
We Recommend: The Poppy Leather Power Recliner
This is more than just a leather recliner chair. The Poppy leather recliner from Caselli Furniture is an experience in extreme comfort. You’ll know it the moment your eyes trace its plump frame, which is crafted with overly padded armrests to combat arm fatigue, a bustled back for upper and lumbar back support and a cushioned footrest. This pick comes with the best of the best: top-grain leather on the arms, back, and seating area, providing additional comfort and quality you can feel and see.
Of course, it’s often what you don’t see that counts the most. While we won’t go as far as to say it outdoes the upholstery, the hardwood doweled frame is another point in its favor for being considered the best leather recliner.

HomeStretch Leather Recliners
Who makes the best leather recliner among American brands? At Bob Mills, we are proud to carry a large lineup of recliners built right here in the U.S.A. HomeStretch stands out as one of the elites among the crowd. The beauty is in the details.
We’re talking fine craftsmanship that equates to better-looking products and recliners that last longer. For instance, did you know that all HomeStretch recliners come with removable backs? That makes it easier to transport one of these recliners, just in case your quiet zone is an upstairs den. What’s more, the backs feature an easy-access flap that gives users the option to add more fill or take some out for comfort that is custom to each individual.
HomeStretch continues its commitment to quality by tailoring all its leather recliners with top-grain cowhide and polyurethane match. On top of keeping these pieces more affordable, the combination provides the best comfort where it counts — that is, where your body comes in contact with the chair.
We can’t talk about HomeStretch without mentioning its wide selection of recliners.
- Like it old-school? Consider a HomeStretch manual recliner that has no power constraints.
- More of a modern household? A HomeStretch power recliner will hit just the spot.
- Want a dynamic reclining experience? Explore HomeStretch swivel and glider recliners that provide an even wider range of motion.
- Working with limited space? HomeStretch wall huggers can be placed within inches from a wall without any compromise to the reclining.
We Recommend: The Gentry Blue Leather Recliner
We kept it simple with this blue leather recliner to give you a preview of HomeStretch’s quality, even at its most refined. Aside from the allure of the smoky top-grain leather, this pick showcases an enticing design with padded arms and a reinforced back that cradle you in cozy comfort. The scooped seat also means you can get deeper into your groove while you unwind, and no area is an issue since the manual lever requires no outlet to use. Just sit back, recline, and let the quality of this HomeStretch leather recliner lull you into bliss.
Southern Motion Leather Recliners
Who makes the best leather recliner altogether? It’s not easy outdoing the brand that founded itself on a mission to create “The World’s Best Reclining Furniture.” With just over 25 years in the industry, Southern Motion has risen to become of the biggest domestic furniture brands, rivaling the big dogs from Ashley to La-Z-Boy.
A Southern Motion recliner is an emblem of careful craft and quality with details like all-wood frames, high-density foam cushioning, and reinforced metal reclining mechanism for all-around durability. That’s a pretty big deal considering Southern Motion isn’t a luxury brand. Like other brands in the mid-tier class, Southern Motion leather recliners come with top-grain leather where seated and match leather on the sides, or faux leather for shoppers on slimmer budgets or who want more pet-friendly options.
If you want to splurge, though, you have to explore SoCozi leather recliners with massage and heat. It’s the ultimate self-care treatment and part of an exclusive collaboration with the prestigious Cozzia brand, a leader in fine massage chairs.
We also give top marks to the variety Southern Motion offers. The catalog takes the HomeStretch selection and expands upon it with zero gravity recliners that elevate the legs above the heart, lift recliners, and Next Level reclining options — one of the many reasons we believe Southern Motion is a major consideration for who makes the best leather recliners on the market.
We Recommend: The Southern Motion™ Saturn Slate SoCozi Massage Zero Gravity Power Recliner
Leave it to a black leather recliner to bring the sophistication you’ve been craving for your living room. The handsome build of this recliner starts with its tall, isolated back for a coupe effect reminiscent of sports cars. From there, generously padded track arms support the arms whether you’re reading or holding your favorite beverage. But we’ve saved the best part for last — the SoCozi massage function that uses six air chambers with kneaded massaging to unwind knots, kinks, and tension where it happens the most.
But this is more than just a beautiful leather recliner. True to Southern Motion standards, the base is fitted with four metal braces for durability and enough support to hold 350 pounds. It’s a must-try-to-believe experience, and Bob Mills is ready to take you on the journey.
As we’ve pointed out, leather recliners come in several tiers, depending on budget, features, and quality. Regardless, leather adds timeless elegance to any setting and instantly gives any room an upscale feel. We hope our four favorites have piqued your interest, but if you need a little more inspiration, we’ve got plenty at Bob Mills. Browse online or shop in-store today to find a leather recliner that’s calling your name!
