All reclining furniture is going to need a little space from the wall. Even if it's called a "wall hugger". We just replaced our love seat which was falling apart because it was made from one the numerous varieties of fake leather materials. It's junk, won't last long, my advice is don't go there. The only simulated leather product that will last is the true UltraleatherTM. But we couldn't find that without paying an outlandish cost. So we went with real top grain leather and got a great deal.
This time we chose to go with a top grain leather everywhere except the back and sides, motorized and with a console. It doesn't fully recline flat but pretty darn close. We never found a full flat recliner. The wife has fallen asleep in this new one many times. It needed to be 3" away from the wall. Most wall hugger couches need about 2", so it was only another 1".
After looking everywhere online for days at all the common, regular RV furniture stores....forget it. They want an arm and a leg for their stuff plus shipping which was anywhere's from 200-400 dollars and about 2-3 weeks out before they could ship. All their product pricing was at least $1500 more + shipping than what we found locally.
We had already called Winnebago to get the weight of our original OEM couch so we could stay within that approx. range and not over load that slide. So with weight and dimensions in hand, we decided to shop at regular, local, home furniture stores around where we were staying at the time. We had to go to several stores before we found what we wanted.
Out the door was $1,425 and that was with paying an extra $129 for a no questions asked fix or replace extended warranty and they'll even come to where we are parked no matter where we are in the lower 48. We used a friends pick up to go back and pick it up and installed it same day.
The back separated from the bottom. we brought it through our mid-ship entry door which was 30" wide. The bottom part went in 1st which was the heaviest, then the backs which slide and snap on the bottom rails.
IMO...these online so called "RV Furniture outlets" are such a rip off.
We are so happy with our purchase and saved about $1,500-2K, got it the same day, it's top grain leather, very heavy double stitching on all seams, motorized, has a USB charging port on each side and now we can recline watching TV that's right in front of us.
Good luck and hope this helps.
