Recliner Parts is your practical guide to understanding, sourcing, and replacing the components that keep your chair comfortable and reliable. We break down every major part—handles and cables, pull rings, pawls and ratchets, footrest springs, rocker and glider bases, swivel plates, scissor and linkage arms, seat and back springs, foam and webbing, headrest and lumbar mechanisms, power transformers, motors and actuators, control boxes, hand wands, USB modules, heating elements, and massage units. Each article explains what a part does, how it fails, and the exact steps to diagnose the issue before you buy.
You’ll find compatibility tips for common brands and chassis styles, clear measurement checklists, and side-by-side comparisons of aftermarket versus OEM options. We include tool lists, estimated repair times, safety callouts, and photos or diagrams that show the process from disassembly to reinstall. When parts are scarce, we suggest smart workarounds, equivalent hardware, and trusted sellers. We also cover preventative maintenance—tightening fasteners, lubricating pivots, protecting wiring, and replacing wear items proactively—so small problems don’t become costly repairs.
Whether you’re replacing a broken cable, upgrading a worn motor, or restoring support and cushioning, our step-by-step guides and curated parts picks help you fix it right the first time and extend your recliner’s life.
