Methodology
How Recliners sources, ranks, and reviews recliners listings.
How products are sourced
We pull listings from Amazon via official APIs (eBay Browse, Amazon Associates) on a weekly refresh cycle. We never scrape prices manually or duplicate listings between sources — every product on this site corresponds to a real, currently-listed offer at the time it was last refreshed.
When a listing expires (sold, removed by the seller, or pulled for a policy violation), it's automatically dropped from the site on the next refresh.
How products are ranked
Our category and subcategory pages organize listings around the dimensions buyers actually search for — product types, brands, color, upholstery material.
Within each category, we rank products primarily by listing quality signals (rating count, review density, listing completeness) rather than by price alone. Cross-category relationships (e.g. "related to Oversized") use a token-overlap algorithm against each category's content fingerprint, so the cross-links you see are semantically relevant rather than random.
How reviews are written
Each product page carries an editorial review composed of an "About this product" summary, an "Our take" assessment, and a structured pros & cons list. These are produced by our editorial systems from the product's specifications, listing details, and the broader category context. They are not the result of hands-on testing.
Where a product has third-party rating data (e.g. an Amazon star rating with review count), we surface that alongside our own assessment so you have both signals in one place.
What we don't do
- We don't physically test products. We're a comparison and curation site, not a test lab. Our assessments draw from listing data and category context.
- We don't accept payment for placement. No marketplace partner can buy their way onto an editorial list or change the order in which products appear.
- We don't show sponsored results as editorial. Anything you see in our category and subcategory lists is ranked by editorial signals, not advertising.
- We don't claim live pricing. Prices are refreshed on our weekly cycle. The "Prices last verified" line in the footer reflects the most recent refresh; always confirm the price at the marketplace before purchasing.
Update frequency
Categories, subcategories, and product lists refresh weekly. Editorial reviews on individual product pages are regenerated when a product's specifications materially change. Pricing is verified on the same weekly cycle and surfaced via the "Prices last verified" disclosure.
Errors and corrections
Spot something wrong — a wrong spec, a dead link, a misplaced product? Email [email protected] and we'll fix it on the next refresh. Corrections are logged and back-applied to the affected pages.
