Best Recliner Rockers: Power, Swivel, Compact and Cocoon Picks

The best recliner rocker depends on what else you want the chair to do: power recline with heat and massage, a swivel base, a small footprint, a cozy cocoon shape or an ottoman. Our top picks are The Solace for power, heat and massage, The Carson for a swivel recliner with side pockets, and The Rowan for small rooms. The full list follows, grouped by need, with measurements and weight capacities where listed.

Recliner rocker or rocker recliner?

The names overlap. A recliner rocker usually starts as a rocking chair and adds a reclining back or a footrest. A rocker recliner starts as a recliner and adds a rocking motion, often with a swivel. You'll find both in our recliner rockers collection. A few chairs there swivel and recline but are not listed as rockers, and we flag those below.

Prefer faux leather? The Sterling (Black, with an adjustable headrest) and The Brighton (Cream) are faux leather swivel recliners with ottomans.

What to check before you buy

• Reclined length. Measure from the wall to where the footrest will land, then add a walkway. The Hearthside needs 65 in (165.1 cm) fully reclined and The Scout 60.6 in (153.9 cm).
• Wall space. A rocker recliner needs room to rock and room to tilt back. Pull it far enough from the wall for both.
• Power. The Solace, The Everett and The Grandview are power recliners, so place them near an outlet.
• Weight capacity. Listed capacities run from 300 lb (The Scout, The Hearthside) to 350 lb (The Solace, The Everett, The Grandview). If a model does not list one, email support@mokyka.com.
• Covers. Removable or washable covers, as on The Sunday, The Slumber and The Bramble, are easier to live with.

Which recliner rockers have heat and massage?

The Solace and The Hearthside both have heat and massage, and The Solace adds power recline. The Grandview power recliner also has heat and massage but is not listed as a rocker.

How much room does a rocker recliner need?

Where listed, capacities run from 300 lb to 350 lb, and The Carson is rated for 330 lb. Check each product page before you order.
