We bought two of these Ashley power reclining sofas for our small home theater over a year ago. They get a workout daily and have performed flawlessly. They really are designed and built well mechanically and electronically without cutting corners. I'm an engineer and I don't get impressed easily. I love that each of the three seat backs can be easily released and removed from the base making it much easier for two strong people to move it - in our case up the stairs and when I later added an elevated base for the rear sofa. The two slotted Qi wireless phone chargers in each sofa's armrests work great without overheating the smartphones like the one in our car always does. The phone charger slot liner lifts out for easy cleaning - I wish our car had that feature. Lastly, each armrest opens up to reveal a deep storage compartment. It's a good place to stow those gaming and TV remotes. When the center seat isn't occupied, its seat back easily converts to a flip-down flat "table" with two good sized cup holders. The center headrest lifts up to reveal two built-in, down-facing LED lamps each with its own touch-sensitive control that cycles between low, high, and off. The left and right seat positions are push button controlled recliners that can be set to nearly any angle - all the way to flat if you're so inclined (ha-ha!). The headrest is also push button controlled and I use it to help lift my head up and forward with the seat nearly fully reclined. It makes for a weirdly comfortable position to watch the big game and to easily doze off if it turns into a blowout. Lastly, the seats are slightly firm but not overly so. The faux leather surfaces clean up easily and seem durable enough. The sides aren't as durable and wont take the same level of abuse as the seats so keep the rug rats' sharp toys away. All in all, these sofas are certainly expensive, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for.

The sofa came in one large box that is super heavy. The delivery guys placed the box inside my garage for me and I was able to unbox and take the backs into the house first followed by the lower half of the sofa. I was able to move it all by myself and get it through a 34" door opening. It is very heavy but it's definitely manageable. The color is slightly darker than I imagined based on the pictures but I'm not disappointed. It still looks great but if you're dead set on a light brown, this is not what I would call light brown. The setup is simple with no hardware or tools. Just a couple tabs that slide into brackets. Took me all of 5 min to get all the backs on and cords connected. The sofa itself is super comfortable to me. Foot rest is a tad short but not enough to make me dislike it. All in all, I would buy it again. At the price it definitely met my expectations.

Great quality and I'm very satisfied thus far. We've had this couch for about 4 weeks now and it has been nothing short of amazing and comfortable. Instructions included makes it a little difficult to understand assembly if you have never assembled a power sofa before, however, I was able to find a YT unboxing video of the 2 seater that really helped me with this 3 seater. Comes in one box, but is packed very well and realistically you just connect the power cable of each seat back into the connecting cable at the bottom of each seat and the pop the seat back into place, I moved from back left to right. There will be a clicking sound on each side of each seat when fully in place. When at the rear of the couch, at the bottom left, inside the underneath of the couch, there will be a plastic bag with a couple large zip ties holding it to the couch. Instead of I'm screwing the back panel and removing the lower back panel plate to get to it one can just reach in between through the back and snip the two large zip ties and pull the bag out of the back and take the power cord out, then you will just connect that to the male part of the power plug and plug the couch in and you will be ready to go. We got a great deal on Prime Days for just under $1350. We love the color and it is very comfortable, durable, easy to clean, and very convenient!

Power recliner is beautiful. Seats are actually a (DuraPella) Polyester Microfiber fabric (feels like suede) which is exactly what we wanted. Faux leather is not a fitting description. Ashley Furniture store carries this product and we viewed it there. Ashley Furniture claims to manufacture the material covering for the seat and describes it better on their own web site. We had experience with faux leather material and it did not last and began to crack and peel within a year of purchase. By all appearances, this double recliner will hold up much better than we expect. I would like to mention that the delivery of this sofa was exeptional! First of all, it was delivered at least 2 weeks earlier than expected! Second, the delivery men could not have been nicer to us. Kudos to Amazon for using this firm! We expected a Front Porch Delivery but were pleasantly surprised when the men offered to bring it into the house and set it where we wanted. They set it down so we would not have to turn it again once we opened the box. Thank you Amazon and thank you for an uneventful & easy Delivery/Set-up Day.

We LOVE this sofa! We had seen it at a store, but the price was horrific. I can't believe I found the exact same thing on Amazon! We were worried about installation, but if was actually a snap. The hardest thing to deal with was the weight. Initially we thought the power cord didn't come with it, but not to worry it was zip-tied to the bottom of the sofa. We plugged that in, then put each back section where they belonged. They just slip onto metal brackets, and then you connect the little power cords. Voila! The sofa has phone chargers, cup holders in the middle section along with lights that you just touch to make them come on...with different brightness levels. Also a pocket for things like magazines or whatnot. On top of all of that, it has power reclining for your feet and head rests, USB ports, and plenty of arm storage (TV remotes, kleenex, etc.). Highly, highly recommend this sofa! Did I mention how much money we saved over the retailer? Over $1500!!! Oh, one more thing, the fabric is nearly indestructible. You can take a key and scratch the fabric and not even see it, so it's perfect for our large dog to join us. Yes...this is a BUY!

After much research, this was our choice. So happy we bought it. The sale price was amazing. The seat height is high enough for us. The way the head adjusts is amazing, no more pillows needed. The couch is soft, yet firm. The color and feel of the fabric is great. The assembly was easy. (other reviews mentioned the cord was attached). The phone charging is such a bonus. The side pocket is even big enough to hold my chromebook. The directional lights are great. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Why Choose the Next-Gen Durapella Power Reclining Sofa

Power Reclining + Adjustable Headrest

Push-button reclining adjusts to nearly any angle, with separately powered headrests that lift your head and neck into a comfortable viewing or resting position.

Extended Zero-Gravity Footrest

The extended footrest elevates the legs into a balanced reclining posture designed for long movie nights, gaming sessions, or after-work decompression.

Water-Repellent Faux Leather

A durable, smooth, two-tone faux leather upholstery resists everyday spills and wipes clean — built for households with kids, pets, and frequent guests.

Wireless (Qi) + USB Charging

Slotted Qi wireless chargers and USB ports keep phones and tablets powered without crowding the side table — the seat itself becomes the charging zone.

Hidden Storage & Cupholders

Lift-up armrests reveal deep storage for remotes, magazines, and accessories, while console layouts add cupholders and a flat surface in the middle seat.

Drop-Down Table & Reading Lights

On the sofa, the center seat back flips down into a flat table with cupholders. Built-in touch-sensitive LED reading lights cycle between low, high, and off.

Built for Families, Pets, and Everyday Use

The water-repellent faux leather upholstery, deep storage compartments, and powered reclining mechanisms are made for households where the sofa is used every day — streaming, gaming, work breaks, weekend afternoons, and quiet evenings.

  • Kids & spills

    Easy-clean upholstery that wipes down between snack-time and movie-time.

  • Pets welcome

    A surface that handles claws, fur, and cuddle sessions better than fabric.

  • Compact homes

About Ashley Furniture's Next-Gen Durapella

The Next-Gen Durapella collection (often searched as nextgen durapella or next generation durapella) is a power reclining furniture line under Signature Design by Ashley, the design label of Ashley Furniture Industries. Ashley was founded in 1945, is family-owned, headquartered in Arcadia, Wisconsin, and is recognized as one of the largest furniture manufacturers in North America, distributing to retail and online channels in many countries.

Within Ashley's broader catalog, the Next-Gen Durapella line targets a specific buyer: someone who wants the look and feel of leather seating, the convenience of power reclining and built-in tech, and the practicality of a finish that holds up to kids, pets, and daily use — without paying for traditional leather. The upholstery itself, marketed as DuraPella, is a faux leather designed to resist water and everyday spills.

The collection is built around real living-room habits — streaming, gaming, charging phones, taking work breaks — rather than formal entertaining. Selected pieces add Qi wireless charging, USB ports, hidden armrest storage, drop-down center tables, cupholders, and built-in LED reading lights, so the sofa or sectional becomes the functional center of the room.

Configurations span 86" sofas, loveseats, and 2- through 6-piece L-shaped sectionals — with and without storage consoles — in beige, slate gray, dark gray, black, navy, and light brown finishes, sized for compact apartments through large family rooms.
