What is the difference between a lounge and recliner?
The difference between a lounge and a recliner lies in their design. Recliners have mechanisms that allow you to raise and lower the footrest, while lounge chairs are stationary and always keep your feet elevated while you sit. Generally, recliners are also larger and heavier than lounge chairs. On 1stDibs, find a variety of lounge chairs and recliners.
