(ARA) - Today's modern family faces busy days filled with long hours at the office, soccer practices, pilates workouts and late dinners. When finally returning home at the end of the day, most of us want to enter an anxiety-free atmosphere in which the home becomes a retreat from the stresses of daily life.

The living room is the perfect place to begin your home's transformation into a stress-free oasis. The staple of any living room, its furniture, has recently seen many manufacturers incorporating innovations that beckon you to recline, relax and rest.

"More than anything, furniture should be comfortable," says Pasquale Natuzzi, CEO of Natuzzi, the world's largest leather upholstery company. "We strive to create modern furniture that appeals personally to each of our customers."

Recliners have been around for years but are making a sudden comeback with new innovations and styles that will make sitting stiffly upright a thing of the past. This time around, it's all about new technology giving way to personalized comfort. Recliners by Natuzzi offer the quality of Italian design and versatility to allow you to choose your desired footrest and seat position, molding to each person's needs. Natuzzi also offers electronic motion by remote control, found incorporated into their Tiziano recliner, with some models having a swivel and rocker function for greater versatility.

For the ultimate spa-inspired living room, body massage armchairs are designed to offer the serenity of a day of relaxation. Look for chairs with settings that work the entire length of your back, including various modes to soothe different pressure points. With an array of chair styles and various massage settings, Natuzzi's body massage reclining armchairs deliver surface or deep tissue massages to your back and neck's target points. The stretching mode relieves pressure on the spine and aids in body circulation. The kneading mode is a circular motion setting that delivers a deep tissue massage loosening back and neck muscles and also has shown to restore energy. The tapping mode is a pulsating movement running along the spine that relieves lower back pressure invoking deep relaxation. Just press a few buttons on the armchair's remote and let Natuzzi's massage chairs melt away the stresses of your day.

When designing your living room, keep in mind how you plan to use it and organize accordingly. If you watch a lot of television, make sure it faces the sofa or your leather recliner so you can comfortably sit and enjoy your favorite shows. Perhaps reading is your hobby. Make sure to have a book shelf close at hand and stylish end tables that complement the look and feel of the furniture where you can set your latest novel.
