A recliner is only as good as the accessories you add to it. A cup holder is the simplest upgrade you can make, and it takes less than five minutes to install.
Measure your armrest
Most recliner armrests have either a 3.5 x 3.5 inch or 4 x 4 inch opening. Measure the inside diameter before ordering to ensure a snug fit. If your armrest does not have a pre-cut hole, you can use a surface-mount cup holder instead.
Choose the right material
Plastic cup holders are durable, easy to clean, and come in colors that match your recliner. Look for high-grade plastic with angled edges that prevent spills.
Install in minutes
Insert-style cup holders simply drop into the armrest opening. No tools required. Surface-mount versions attach with adhesive or screws. Either way, you will be enjoying drinks at armrest level in under five minutes.
A cup holder is a small upgrade that makes a big difference in everyday comfort.
