The Capri Chair β One Seat of Black Real Leather That Treats You Like a First-Class Cabin
Every house has a best seat. In most houses it's an accident. The Capri armchair makes it deliberate: one electric recliner chair in certified black real leather that exists purely to be the seat everyone else wishes they'd claimed first. Power recline to any angle. A power headrest that meets your neck exactly where the day left it. A massage sensation and soothing heat at the lumbar, a padded lumbar behind it. Your drink held at temperature, your phone charging wirelessly beside you, a food tray for the good nights and ambient light for the late ones. This is the chair for the person who has earned a seat that answers to nobody β the reading chair, the film chair, the nine-o'clock chair. Yours.
Who This Luxury Electric Recliner Chair Is For β and Who It's Not For
The ritual-keeper: the reader, the late-film watcher, the executive decompressing after the last call. It's brilliant for tall people β high-back support, dedicated back support and power headrest support your head instead of leaving it hanging over the top β and brilliant for shorter people, because the rising footrest carries your legs so they never dangle, with a matching footstool available too.
Weight guidance, honestly: we recommend up to 120kg; beyond that is misuse and isn't covered. If rising from a chair has become the hard part of sitting down, look at the Capri riser recliner lift chair below β everything this chair does, plus dual-motor assisted rise.
Not for you if you want a soft, sink-in armchair: this one is structured, supportive, ergonomic and orthopedic-style by design, built so you get up feeling better than you sat down.
A Real Leather Recliner Chair, Proven
Earlier black batches are certified genuine top-grain semi-aniline cowhide, ethically sourced; we'll tell you exactly which batch your chair is from.
Genuine top-grain covers everything you sit on and touch, including:
- The sides between the seat cushion and the arms
- The sides between the back cushion and the arms
Non-touch outer panels are colour-matched man-made material, stated plainly.
Hand-stitched, handcrafted, breathable where synthetics sweat β and in black, unapologetically the captain's chair of the room.
The Power Recliner Feature Walk
One power recliner glides you from upright to fully rested and stops anywhere between; one adjustable headrest lets the chair carry the 10β12 lbs your head weighs so your neck muscles can stand down. The lumbar delivers a relaxing vibration massage β comfort and relaxation, honestly framed, never a treatment. Two cup holders sit on the arms for your drinks, a removable table tray serves dinner or holds the laptop, and LED lights set the scene. The build underneath: treated pine wood frame, 30+ pocket coil springs, layered high-density and soft comfort foams, motors independently tested to 25,000+ reclining cycles under load and silent-operation tested, wall-hugging design that sits close to the wall.

One Electric Recliner Chair, Many Lives
The NHS recommends raising your legs to help reduce swelling in the ankles, feet and legs β and this chair raises them at the touch of a button. Around 23% of remote workers regularly work from a sofa, and 45% of people working from home admit to napping (Dreams 2024 UK Sleep Survey): the Capri chair is built for exactly that real life. Reading upright, reclining for the film, legs up after a long day on your feet, a 20-minute switch-off between meetings. Your next posture is your best posture, and this chair has all of them.

FAQ
Can I stop the recliner at any angle?
Yes β release the button at any point and the chair holds that exact position, from upright reading to full recline. The adjustable headrest works independently, so your neck is supported at every angle.
Is this chair good for tall people?
Yes β high-back support and an adjustable headrest mean a taller frame is supported to the top of the head, not left hanging over the backrest. If you're well over 6ft, we'd still say try it first: fit matters, and the showroom or a video fitting settles it.
Is the massage a medical device?
No. The vibration massage is a comfort feature β a gentle sensation for relaxation. If you have a medical condition, speak to a professional first; we'll happily talk mechanisms, never medicine.
Does it need to sit far from the wall?
No β the wall-hugging design needs only a small clearance, typically around 5β7cm, to recline fully. It's an armchair designed for real UK rooms, not showroom floors.
Is an electric recliner chair worth it?
Yes β one Capri electric recliner chair replaces an armchair, a recliner, a charger, a side table and a reading lamp, and it's backed by a 5-Year Structural Frame Guarantee with in-house repairs for life.
