We currently have a Lane leather 96" leather sofa that does not recline. It's pretty much shot (got it for $75.00 lightly used, though). Started looking at various brands that I thought were good until I reached this forum, and now I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. Here are the particulars of our situation and budget:

This leather reclining sofa will be the primary seating in our townhome (live in Fort Myers, FL). We are big into home theater, but really can't do home theater seating as I like to lay down on the couch (it's what I am doing right now). Don't really want to give that feature up so I feel that a reclining sofa will be the best of both worlds. 96" is the absolute max in width. Budget is $1,500 to $2,000.

I was considering Palliser, Lattitudes by Flexsteel, and BarcaLounger but now I am not so sure. Any alternative brand recommendations or advice would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Jim
