1. A furniture system, comprising:
- a modular furniture assembly having footprint specifications which identify the footprint of the modular furniture assembly, the modular furniture assembly comprising a base and a transverse member that can be selectively coupled to each other; and
a reclining assembly configured to be selectively coupled to the modular furniture assembly, wherein the reclining assembly is configured to be mounted adjacent to the modular furniture assembly such that the reclining assembly can be selectively coupled to the modular furniture assembly to form a convenient, useful, and aesthetically pleasing sofa,wherein, in a compressed, non-reclined position, the reclining assembly has substantially the same footprint specifications as the footprint specifications of the modular furniture assembly;
wherein the reclining assembly includes (i) a housing;
(ii) a footrest assembly; and
(iii) a recliner mechanism configured to selectively move the footrest assembly with respect to the housing,an additional base mountable to a front end of the footrest assembly of the reclining assembly, the additional base moving when the base of the reclining assembly moves, wherein the additional base includes at least one sled rail mounted on an underside of the additional base.

Abstract
A furniture system with a reclining assembly including a modular furniture assembly and a reclining assembly. A passageway in the reclining assembly allows coupling to a slit in the modular furniture assembly with a coupler. The reclining assembly includes a housing and a footrest assembly that moves with respect to the housing. An additional base can be coupled to the front end of the footrest assembly, with one or more (e.g., two) sled rails mounted on an underside of the additional base, such that the additional base slides on the sled rails as the footrest assembly moves from the compressed non-reclined position to the extended position.
