Florence Beige Fabric Smart Tech Electric Recliner Cinema Chair | The Sofa Shop

The Florence Beige Smart Recliner Chair — The Calm Corner Your Evenings Deserve

Somewhere in your home there’s a corner doing nothing. A lamp, maybe. A plant. What it’s missing is the seat that makes it the best square metre in the house. The Sofa Shop Florence 2357 1 seater in beige is that seat: warm fabric traced with soft mocha piping, calm enough for the bedroom, considered enough for the lounge — and underneath the quiet looks, sixteen functions that turn a corner into a ritual. Power recline. Power headrest. Massage and heat on the lumbar. A pocket with its own power socket, a speaker, a soft light for late pages. The evening reading chair, the Sunday-morning coffee chair, the twenty-minutes-of-peace chair. This is where your calm corner stops being theoretical.

The Fabric Story: Beige, But Never Bland
The beige is warm calm made upholstery — a sandy, light-holding neutral that belongs with oak, linen, boucle and cream, glowing honey-warm under a reading lamp. The piping, one gentle shade deeper, keeps the silhouette tailored so the chair reads as a design choice rather than a default. It suits the Scandi-calm lounge, the bedroom corner, the cottage snug, the nursery-adjacent feeding chair that has to be genuinely comfortable at 3am. And pale is practical here: an eco- and vegan-friendly technology fabric, independently tested past 25,000 Martindale rubs with tensile, seam, colourfastness and fade testing behind it, water-, stain- and scratch-resistant — a light chair you can live on without holding your breath. Hand-stitched and handcrafted throughout.

Who It’s For — And Who It Isn’t
For the reader who never had a proper corner. The remote worker who needs a second position — 15 minutes reclined between calls, because your next posture is your best posture. Tall? High-back support and power headrest keep your head supported, never hanging over the top rail. Shorter? Power recline raises the footrest to meet your legs so they never dangle; a matching Florence footstool is available. Weight guidance, stated plainly: don’t exceed 120kg — exceeding it counts as misuse and isn’t covered. If rising from a chair is the hard part — for you, or for a parent — the Florence smart riser recliner is this exact chair plus dual-motor assisted rise: everything the recliner chair does, with the lift built in. Not for anyone who just wants the cheapest armchair going.

The Feature Walk — True Function, One Lucky Owner
Power recline with power headrest — glide from upright to full stretch and stop anywhere; release the button and it holds. The NHS recommends raising your legs to help reduce swelling in the ankles, feet and legs, and the footrest does exactly that at the press of a button.
Massage and heat on the lumbar, over padded lumbar support — a soothing massage sensation with mild warmth, tuned for relaxation, not deep tissue.
A side pocket on the left arm with storage, a normal cup holder, and its own power socket tucked inside — phone, book, glasses and charger within reach.
Two power grommets — powered accessory ports, each unlocking a modular ecosystem of 11 accessories plus the standard table.
LED ambient lighting with cover — a soft under-glow for late nights.
A Bluetooth speaker system with USB and USB-C on the controls — audiobooks, playlists, or the TV routed to your seat.

One Chair, Many Lives
The morning coffee seat. The 20-minute post-work recline — unsupported upright sitting loads the lumbar spine around 40% more than standing (Nachemson & Morris, 1964), and this is the chair where you stop doing that. The reading chair with its own light and speaker. The nap nobody admits to. The wall-hugging design needs only around 5–7cm of clearance. Underneath: treated pine frame, 30+ pocket coil springs, layered high-density and soft comfort foams, UKFR-approved fibre filling, high-back support, ergonomic and orthopedic-style seat design, handcrafted and hand-stitched, triple QC inspected. The motor is independently tested beyond 25,000 reclining cycles under load, and silent-operation tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a beige chair practical for everyday use?
Yes, within honest limits: the fabric is water-, stain- and scratch-resistant and tested past 25,000 Martindale rubs — resistant, not indestructible. Optional 5-Year Furniture Protection covers accidents, pets and stains. Order a free swatch and test it at home first.

Is this recliner chair good for tall or short people?
It’s built for both: high-back support and power headrest support taller users so the head never hangs over the top, while power recline lifts the footrest to meet shorter legs. Send us your height and we’ll confirm seat fit before you buy.

What is a power grommet?
A powered accessory port built into the chair. Each of the Florence’s two grommets powers and holds accessories from a modular ecosystem of 11 options plus the standard table — reading lights, phone holders and more.

Is the massage and heat real or a gimmick?
It’s real, and honestly described: a massage sensation with mild warmth on the lumbar, over padded lumbar support, tuned for relaxation rather than deep tissue. A wind-down feature, not a treatment of any kind.

Is there a riser version of this chair?
Yes — the Florence smart riser recliner is this chair feature-for-feature, plus dual-motor assisted rise. Everything the recliner chair does, with a powered lift that brings you gently to standing, in the same colourways.

Is it plug-in or battery powered?
Mains plug-in, with all functions available at once — recline, massage, heat, lighting and speaker together. Power draw is negligible when idle; the motor only uses power while the chair is moving.
