recliner seat

Chair that tilts

A recliner seat is a chair with a back that tilts backward and often a footrest that extends, allowing the occupant to recline.

The term appears most often in contexts where seating is assigned or purchased—airline cabins, movie theaters, passenger trains: We upgraded to recliner seats for the overnight flight.

In domestic settings, the simpler term recliner usually suffices.
