Where does your Dh sit?

No recliner in our house. DH sits on couch or chair. If he had back problems I would go on the hunt for whatever would help with the back problem. 

I bought a fake leather waswood fake stickley recliner from Fred Meyer.

It seems to work nicely for my husband and his very bad back.

I think the problem some people have is that they don’t match the decorating aesthetic they’re looking for and it can be hard to make a typical recliner “go” with more traditional furniture styles.

We have two recliners in the man area. We also have long couch that matches. My husband sits in the one that is perfect for lighting, air flow, and television viewing (think Sheldon BBT). He has a table on either side of him for his work space. He grades and studies there almost every night. If I sit in that chair, my boys always mention it is dad's chair even though my husband declared when we got the chairs that no one could claim them. When I sit in "his" chair, he has some great facial expressions (think Sheldon BBT). We have a living room that is beautiful with gorgeous furniture and no one ever sits in there except for holidays and possibly Sundays. I grew up with recliners in the family room, so the practicality vs esthetics debate isn't an issue.

He has a Flexsteel recliner that he's loved for 6 years. We'll be buying new furniture and he'll get a new one when we do.

But often ugly unfortunately.

We have a couch with a chaise and a padded ottoman. I usually sit on the chaise side and he sits near me and puts his feet on the ottoman.

No recliners here... is it a generational thing? The only people I know with recliners are my parents and grandma.

Our family room has a sectional and a recliner. They are not a matched set. I was really resistant to getting a recliner and searched high and low to find one that passed the "it's not a big old ugly eyesore" test.

DH usually sits in his recliner. If moves to the sectional, he is planning to fall asleep watching TV. He only sits on the sectional if we have people over and someone snagged the recliner.

I don’t know anyone living with a man in their house who DOESN’T have at least one. We’ve always had at least one.

Yes, DH has a recliner that is only for him. He has severe health issues, including serious back issues. It took him five years to find a recliner that worked perfectly, and that was only because his "perfect" recliner that he had for ten years was literally falling apart and the company that made it was no longer in business. He usually gets out of bed around 3 or 4 a.m. on weekends and climbs into his chair because he can't take lying in bed any longer. Once he finally found this chair, we ordered a second one. It's in the family room downstairs. He never sits in it, but I consider it his backup for when the upstairs one craps out.

ETA: We have a very tiny upstairs living room. We only have three recliners, two bookshelves, and the TV stand in here. It's all that will fit. The recliners don't even match and I don't care. My house is for my comfort.

We have a big modular couch with a chaise on one side. Whoever is there first usually sits on the chaise, but not always. I just went into the lounge room and checked where DSO was sitting - he was in the corner seat.

My DSO would probably punch me in the nose if I put my feet on his lap, and he sure a hell wouldn't massage them!   (He HATES feet, anybody's feet, with a passion.)

Well, shoot. I guess my husband is a chick. And my two brothers and 8 brothers-in-law, and all of my friends' husbands. 😂😂😂
