How large weight-wise is your husband? Recliner mechanisms are good up to 280 - 300 lbs but over that you should be going stationary. Recliner mechanisms can be damaged when used as not intended as well, and it will make no difference as to the brand. Common things people do they should not when the recliner is open...
* getting out of the seat without closing the recliner
* having more than one person sit in the recliner with them
* have others sitting on the arm of the unit when the recliner is open
* moving the furniture when the mechanisms are open
Leather outlasts fabric 4 to 1. Its pretty rare to see any recliner sofa that is actually used on a regular basis to go more than 7 to 8 years before needing a recover. Leather will last 25 to 30 years if kept clean and conditioned.
