recliner seats

Lean-back theater seating

Recliner seats are chairs designed to tilt backward while extending a footrest, allowing the occupant to recline in varying degrees.

The term appears most often in contexts where seating comfort is a selling point—movie theaters, airlines, sports venues: The theater just upgraded to recliner seats.

Distinguished from standard fixed-position seating by their adjustable backs and leg support.
