Description
The Primo is a three-seater electric recliner sofa in a woven chenille, and the thing that separates it from most recliners at this price is that the back and the headrest move independently of each other. On a single-motor recliner the whole back goes over as one piece and your head goes with it, which is why so many recliners are comfortable to lie back in and useless to watch television in. On the Primo you can drop the back and bring the headrest forward, so your eyeline stays where you want it.
Both actions are powered and controlled from buttons set into the inner arm — no levers, no handles, nothing to reach behind you for.
Woven chenille in Mole
Mole is a warm mid-brown — the colour that sits between grey and beige and gets on with almost everything. Chenille is a short-pile fabric with a slight sheen that catches the light, and it is a forgiving choice on a large piece: the texture breaks up the surface so everyday marks and creasing read far less than they would on a flat weave or a leather.
Space you will need
This is a large sofa and it reclines, so there are two footprints to think about. Closed, it is 89cm high and 108cm deep. Reclined, the back goes over and the footrest comes out, and you need clear floor behind and in front. As a working rule leave at least 30cm behind the sofa and a metre in front before you order.
A note on the width. Kyoto’s own published figures disagree with each other — one field gives an overall width of 174cm and another 215cm, against a seat width of 168cm. 215cm is the figure consistent with a 168cm seat plus two arms, and that is what we would plan around, but we are asking them to confirm it in writing. If the width is the deciding factor for your room, contact us before you order and we will get you the confirmed figure.

The rest of the Primo range
Kyoto make the Primo as an electric recliner chair, a two-seater and this three-seater. If you want to match pieces across a room, tell us and we will price the others for you.
Availability
Coming soon. Kyoto list the Primo 3 Seater as a forthcoming launch but have not yet confirmed a date, so it cannot be ordered yet. Contact us and we will tell you as soon as it is available to order.
Delivery
Delivery
Free delivery to mainland England and Wales, including Anglesey. We do not deliver to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight or the Isles of Scilly.
This piece arrives in two boxes and weighs 110kg. It is a two-person lift. Please make sure someone is there to help on the day, and measure your doorways, stairs and any turn on the landing before you order — a sofa of this size that will not go up the stairs is the most expensive mistake in furniture.
Questions we are asked most
What does “back and headrest move independently” actually mean?
Two separate motors. You can recline the back without the headrest going flat with it, so you can lie back and still have your head up to watch something. On a single-motor recliner you cannot — it is one movement and your eyeline goes with it.
Does it need to be near a plug?
Yes. It is a powered recliner and it needs mains power. Plan for a socket within reach of the back of the sofa.
How much space do I need behind it?
Leave at least 30cm clear behind the sofa for the back to travel, and about a metre in front for the footrest. If it has to go against a wall, measure the wall run first and ask us for the reclined depth.
Is it a two-person delivery?
It should be. At 110kg in two boxes it is not a one-person job, and we would rather you had help arranged than have the driver leave it on the drive.
When will I get it?
Kyoto have not yet confirmed a launch date. As soon as they do, we will open orders and show the expected dispatch date on this page.
