How comfortable are the optional Recliners

If you have the optional recliners, could you please comment on how comfortable they are compared to any of the home/aftermarket brands? Thanks!

If a comparison is to be made, it sure would help to know what recliners we're comparing to? What RV(s) are you considering? As stated above, different RV's use different recliners.
In our Wildcat MAXX, we removed the 2 swivel rockers and replaced them with 2 Lazyboy recliners. Best "mod" ever to any of our RV's!

I think the optional recliners are offered only in one model the 3010 sunseeker and maybe the Grand Touring?

X2. We also have Lazy-Boy brand at home, the ones in the RV are way more comfortable. The recliners at home are 12 yrs old, that may make the difference.

I am interested in knowing how to replace the curved dinette in a 2300 with a love seat or recliners. Is it possible?

Anything is possible. You need to pull put the entire U-Dinette and have a recliner set that will fit in that area.

Our Lazy Boys in the Cedar Creek are far more comfortable, than the Lane recliners in the prior Crusader.

Very Comfy !!

We test sat in the recliners in a 3010S on a dealer's lot and found them to be very comfy. Don't know what brand they were, but maybe Joshua could give us that info. They also had the mounting holes in the arms for the little tables. Now if we could just get them in our new 3051S we want to order............

I'm looking at the Sunseeker 3010DS optional recliners.

Thank you. As the OP, these are exactly the optional recliners I was referring to. BTW, the floorplan illustration includes cup holders and some sort of mini table/tray. Sounds like the trays were missing? Thanks.

We were set on a 2861 Until we sat in the optional recliners by FR. We ordered the 2801 because the recliners became the number 1 must have.

I could NOT disagree more. The recliners I received in my 2015 cottage were JUNK!
While tagged and labeled Lazy boy you have to keep in mind you WILL NOT find them in any store. The ARE made by a lazy boy subsidiary but to Forrest river specs. For instance, some are represented as leather, they are not! Cheap, thin vinyl! Also the frame is made of plywood and can only take stress for and aft. Any side pressure and they would fail.
Mine did, wore thru right where you place you hand to get up. And frame failed from me applying only some side pressure.
I had to go to Forest river, their distributer and finally Lazy boy.
Finally (after 3+ months) I asked for a buy out bu F.R. Went thru a lady in the front office (customer/warentee service were useless) and I received an offer that allowed me to purchase genuine items.

This is the SUNSEEKER sub-forum; each division deals with different parts, suppliers, and manufacturers. I will get back to you on the manufacturer of the recliners.

We told the dealership to keep the cheaply made recliners and air mattress sofa. We put in wall hugger lazyboy recliners.
