About the Soren Recliner

When it comes to unique features, there is a lot to discuss with the Soren.

To begin, the Soren Recliner is a modern version of a billowy classic. A billowy classic refers to traditional-looking furniture that has a puffy look to it. Soren has a modernized take on this traditional look because of its bucket seats, which make users sink into the seats when sitting in them.

Soren’s bucket seats are spacious, yet cozy, giving the user ample support in its soft foam-back cushions.

The Soren also comes with a squared-off arm which Darren believes “looks more attractive than the big-rolled arms on other furniture pieces.” Darren also notes that the Soren has a lower arm making it “quite stylish in its look.”

When looking at the Soren initially, some might say it looks big. This is because of its tall stature. 

Darren notes that the Soren comes with a tall back, meaning taller individuals between the heights of 5’10” - 6’2” will sit comfortably in this recliner. The reason why it is considered taller is because of the way the seat sits, according to Darren. 

“The seat is a little bit taller, but there is also a little more back to it,” he says. Individuals within the ideal height mentioned above will feel their shoulders relax naturally on Soren’s inward-angled arms. 

Shorter individuals might have a harder time sitting comfortably in Soren’s furniture frame. Read more about La-Z-Boy Recliners for Short People by checking out this article.

While your height can be a considerable factor, it is important to note that height guidelines are   NOT  set in stone. The way you sit in a furniture item can drastically affect how someone might find a seat comfortable.

This is why we highly recommend coming in-store and taking a sit test to determine if the Soren Recliner is right for your unique body type. To learn more, take a look at our article How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You.

The Soren is available as a Rocking Recliner and a Wall Recliner.

Is the Soren Recliner Right for You?

Now that you know everything you need to know about the Soren Recliner, the question may still remain if it is the right recliner for you. 

In terms of functionality, the reclining feature of the Soren furniture is ideal for those looking to kick back and relax. If you are looking for stationary furniture, the Soren furniture will not be right for you.

Finally, when it comes to style, Darren notes that Soren’s seats look more contoured, meaning there is more dimension to this recliner’s design. 

Those who are looking for something comfortable yet unique will appreciate this look. In contrast, those wanting a piece of furniture with a “quieter style” may want something “less attention-seeking”. 

Darren also says that the contour look is more prominent on the bucket seats, which look similar to the Rowan. If you want to learn more about the Rowan Recliner, take a look at this article.
