Ymmv but I'm very happy with whatever no name brand leather power reclining sofa I got from Costco. I just find leather way more comfortable than fabric but everyone picks their own poison.
At the end of the day I think it's a matter of do you need/want a recliner (vs say a reclining love seat or full size sofa), do you want power or traditional (I feel like power tends to be more common, though if you're > 6 ft I'd say power recliners are a suboptimal choice)
I will say, as a person who is currently vegetating in a power reclining sofa while being worked up for surgery on a blown out knee. That having multiple USB ports, AC outlets, cup holders, and a center console (that turns into a mini table) is extremely convenient when it physically pains you the more you move. Especially for charging phones game controllers plugging in heating pads etc etc it's extremely nice to have everything there. And it's a sofa so laying down is on the table too.
The ROM of a power recliner (sofa couch actual recliner whatever) leaves a little to be desired, but when supplemented with pillows (either behind your head or under your legs) it's rock solid. It's very nice to have something where the position is fixed and doesn't move with your body weight shifts or extreme jerking motions that you'd have on a traditional recliner.
On a side note having a heating pad is a godsend (even if you're not using it on your back, your body is going to freaking hurt all over from not moving).
TLDR Costco is decent quality but great value, unfortunately anything you buy is gonna be a leap of faith purchase, as they don't have in store models for most of their excrement. Costco is also God when it comes to warranties and returns which is pretty important considering there's always a fair chance of mechanical difficulties with power anything
