About the Parker Knoll Boston Collection

Design Inspiration

The Boston collection embraces contemporary aesthetics while honouring Parker Knoll's heritage of exceptional comfort. Clean, streamlined silhouettes with gently tapered arms create a modern profile that suits today's interiors, from open-plan living spaces to more traditional rooms. The design focuses on functionality without compromising style—every line serves a purpose, whether it's the supportive high back or the carefully considered proportions that work beautifully in various room sizes.

Construction & Quality

Boston pieces demonstrate Parker Knoll's expertise in combining traditional furniture-making with modern reclining technology. The frames are constructed from solid beech hardwood with reinforced joints, corner-blocking, and precision engineering to support the reclining mechanisms reliably through thousands of uses. The manual reclining systems feature smooth, easy-to-operate mechanisms, while power recliners include whisper-quiet motors and the convenience of USB charging ports.

The seating uses high-resiliency foam wrapped in advanced cushioning materials that maintain their shape and support over time. High backs provide excellent head, neck, and shoulder support—particularly beneficial during extended relaxation. Each piece is hand-finished in Parker Knoll's Nottinghamshire factory, ensuring the same attention to detail that has defined the brand since 1869.

Perfect For

Boston suits those seeking contemporary comfort with practical functionality. The reclining options make it ideal for families who value relaxation, individuals who appreciate ergonomic support, or anyone wanting furniture that adapts to different activities—from entertaining guests on static sofas to enjoying solo relaxation in a power recliner chair.

The modern styling works particularly well in contemporary homes, open-plan living spaces, and rooms where clean lines and functional comfort matter. The USB charging feature appeals to modern households where staying connected is part of daily life.

Why Choose Parker Knoll Boston?

Modern Comfort Technology
Boston brings Parker Knoll's craftsmanship into the 21st century with advanced reclining systems and integrated USB charging. Power recliners operate at the touch of a button, providing smooth adjustment to your perfect position, while the USB ports mean you never need to leave your comfortable spot to charge devices. It's thoughtful design that enhances daily living.

Exceptional Support for Relaxation
The high backs provide superior head, neck, and shoulder support that makes Boston particularly comfortable for extended sitting. Whether you're binge-watching your favourite series, reading, or simply unwinding after work, the supportive seating and adjustable positions help you truly relax. Many customers tell us Boston's ergonomic design has noticeably improved their comfort during evening relaxation.

Contemporary Design, Timeless Quality
While Boston features modern styling with clean lines and functional design, it's built with the same traditional Parker Knoll craftsmanship that ensures decades of reliable use. The solid beech frames, precision-engineered reclining mechanisms, and hand-finishing mean you're investing in furniture that combines contemporary aesthetics with lasting quality—not trendy pieces that will need replacing in a few years.

Versatile for Modern Living
From static sofas perfect for family gatherings to individual power recliners ideal for personal relaxation zones, Boston adapts to how you actually use your living space. The range works equally well in open-plan settings where clean lines matter or in dedicated media rooms where functionality is paramount. With multiple sizes and configuration options, there's a Boston setup for every modern home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parker Knoll Boston

What sizes are available in the Parker Knoll Boston collection?
The Boston collection includes three-seater sofas, large two-seater sofas, standard two-seater sofas, and armchairs. Sofas range from approximately 160cm wide for standard two-seaters to 200cm for three-seaters. Armchairs typically measure around 95cm wide. Visit our showroom or contact us for specific dimensions for each configuration.

What's the difference between manual and power recliners?
Manual recliners use a simple lever mechanism—you pull the lever and use your body weight to recline, then push forwards to return to upright. Power recliners operate electronically with button controls, providing smooth, effortless adjustment to any position. Power recliners also include USB charging ports and require a power outlet nearby.

How does the USB charging work on Boston power recliners?
Boston power recliners feature a stainless steel USB charging port integrated into the side of the chair. Simply plug your device's USB cable into the port and charge while you relax. The port provides standard USB charging suitable for phones, tablets, e-readers, and similar devices.

How long does delivery take for Parker Knoll Boston furniture?
As each Boston piece is handmade to order in Parker Knoll's Nottinghamshire factory, delivery typically takes 10-14 weeks. We'll provide an accurate timeframe when you order and keep you updated throughout the manufacturing process. This made-to-order approach ensures your furniture is crafted specifically for you.

Can I choose any fabric for my Boston furniture?
Yes, Parker Knoll offers over 150 fabric options and multiple leather grades for the Boston collection. Our team can show you the full range in our showroom, and we provide up to 8 free fabric samples to view at home. Consider durable, easy-clean options if you're choosing a recliner for high-use family areas.

Does Boston come with a warranty?
All Parker Knoll furniture includes a 25-year guarantee on the frame and internal construction, plus 10 years on springs and mechanisms (including reclining mechanisms). This reflects the quality and durability built into every Boston piece. The guarantee covers structural defects but requires proper use and care.

What makes Boston different from other Parker Knoll collections?
Boston features contemporary clean-line styling with advanced functionality—including manual or power reclining options and USB charging ports on power models. It's Parker Knoll's most modern collection, designed for how we live today, while maintaining the traditional British craftsmanship the brand is known for.

Can I try Boston recliners before buying?
Absolutely! We display the Boston collection in our Doncaster showroom at 29-40 Waterdale. You can sit in the furniture, test the manual and power reclining mechanisms, feel the support, compare different sizes, and see various fabric options. Our room settings show how Boston looks in a home environment. No appointment needed.

Are Boston recliners suitable for elderly or less mobile users?
Yes, particularly the power recliner models. The electronic operation means no physical effort is required to recline or return to upright positions—just press a button. The high backs also provide excellent support when sitting or standing. Many customers choose Boston power recliners specifically for elderly parents or family members with mobility considerations.

How do I care for my Parker Knoll Boston furniture?
Regular vacuuming, prompt attention to spills, and keeping furniture away from direct sunlight will help maintain your Boston pieces. For reclining mechanisms, avoid forcing the mechanism and keep the area underneath clear of obstructions. See our comprehensive Parker Knoll Care Guide for detailed maintenance advice specific to your fabric or leather choice.

Can I upgrade from manual to power recliner after purchase?
No, the reclining mechanism is integrated during manufacturing and cannot be changed afterwards. We recommend visiting our showroom to try both manual and power options before deciding. Consider how you'll use the furniture—power recliners offer more convenience but require proximity to a power outlet.

What's the current Boston promotion?
Currently, you can upgrade to powered comfort with Boston—enjoy a Power Recliner for the price of a Manual Recliner until 8th December. This represents significant savings while gaining the convenience of electronic operation and USB charging. Ask in store or contact us for full details and to cheque which configurations qualify.
