How much clearance behind the sofa do I need for it to be able to fully recline? How far away from a wall does it need to be to recline fully?

i believe it's approximately about one inch or less from wall. when seat is fully extended

The top of the couch is only 3 inches away from the wall and fully reclines. The bottom is further away because of the design of the couch. It does not look like its in the middle of the room.

You can be right against the wall. No distance is needed for the recliner to function

My sofa is leather but it doesn't recline. It is close to 7 feet long and that would be around the maximum coverage you can get. It won't stay in place because nothing is holding it in place so you will be constantly readjusting it. However, the quality is excellent.

Yeah i agree with Marilyn. I keep mine about 6 inches off the wall because i constantly turn the tv depending on where i am in the house. But if you want it close to the wall... you should consider getting one that does not swivel. It would sit a tad bit closer to the wall.

Hi Dan, When fully retracted, the back of the TV will be approximately 3.5 inches from the wall. Thank you, Value Max

It's NOT a wallhugger. I don't have an exact measurement but it needs quite a bit of space to recline fully.

when the back is full upright there is no gap. at full recline(decline actually-well below level) it is about 3 inches. The gap increases the farther you go to level and beyond. I have had no issue with it because it falls in the small of my back.

The back of the TV is 5 inches from the wall. Your total answer depends on the TV you attach.

Place chair five feet or so from wall. Recline. Check how near back comes to wall. (must not touch wall) Judge from that how away chair should normally be!

Do you have a truly "flat back"?If so, I'd guess 8-10 inches.But do you really want no air flow b/t the back of your tv and wall?

The sofa is 73" long. The problem O have is the width from back to front. In other words the cushions you sit on are not wide. When you lay on it you feel like you're going to fall off. A queen size mattress is 60" wide if that's any help. Not sure what you mean

The whole back sits against the wall! Unless you have angled paneling, but even then it works with the right positioning. Hope that helps!

You can't place it very close to a wall. 8'' to 10'' is as close as you can get and still have full reclining range. The base is fixed so no rocking either.

You can push the TV as far back as possible, about four inches from the wall. Also, make sure you put some sort of oil so that the mount moves freely.

I agree with "VideoGuy" 1 1/2 inch sofa clearance would be adequate. Bottom of the bar holding the table is around 27 inches to the floor. Add the thickness of your thighs, should be a cinch to work with your sofa.

Kevin, I'm sorry but my truck does not have reclining seats don't know what the clearance is but my truck has about 5 1/2" under the rear seat.

My recliner is 2 inches from the wall and that works fine. One thing to note is that the three chairs link together and form a semi circular back, not straight. That means the center chair is closer to wall then the left and right.
