The Monte Design Cortina Glider Recliner with Espresso Base is built for parents who want more — more seat depth, more height, more cushion, and more practicality. The Cortina's standout feature is its Velcro-attached, zip-off washable cushion covers: seat and back cushions unzip and go straight into the washing machine, making it the most parent-friendly recliner in the Monte lineup. Handcrafted by hand in Monte Design's Toronto facility on a warm espresso wood base, and tested in our boutique.
What Makes the Cortina Different
Where the Matera has attached cushions, the Cortina has removable, machine-washable ones — a meaningful distinction for families with newborns, toddlers, or anyone who values easy maintenance. The seat is deeper (21"), wider (23"), and taller (21" seat height) than the Matera, making it an exceptional choice for taller parents or those who prefer a more generous, enveloping seat. The hidden footrest handle nestles cleanly between the seat and armrest; pull it to pop up the footrest and the gliding motion stops automatically for a smooth, safe transition into recline.
