Reclining Chairs ?? Any manufacture make a good one?

[Bullwinkle123]

Late post I guess. I have back problems, sitting in just about any chair hurts. I buy so-called "zero gravity" chairs from the Relax-the-back store. Very expensive, but you can get them on sale if you're patient. There's some lightweight zero-gravity themed porch furniture if you want to try it out for cheaper.

Basically these chairs keep your body parts at 90 degree angles relative to each other, and by angling the whole chair back you have a lot of the stress removed from what would normally be vertical pressure on your spine.

I find it really helps, it's the only chair I find relief with, even if it costs as much as a 3PH attachment Good luck!

These are not for the faint of heart price-wise. I have my eyes on the Loredo as my next chair.

The wildcard on these would be that you cannot try one out at your local furniture store so you would have to make leap of faith

I buy many things online. But a recliner is like shoes or boots, i have to try them on first.

I'm guessing Relax the Back would still be open for chair tryouts. I wouldn't even remotely consider buying one a critical chair on faith if you have a bad back. They're not going to accept a return (for free anyway) after delivering and assembling a chair in your house. Relax the Back had about 4 manufacturers of zero gravity chairs, but there was only one that was a good fit for me.

I get what you are saying but I have had HORRIBLE results getting boots to fit correctly when buying in a store. NEVER, EVER had a problem with getting proper fitting shoes or boots with mail order. :confused3::shocked::laughing:

It makes NO sense what so ever, but it is what it is, and I have no explanation how this can possibly work. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

And mattresses. Gotta test drive them all first.

I too agree that Lazy Boy quality has declined over the years. I've purchased 4 over the last 30 years. The first was terrific, second very good, and now good enough seems to be their goal. And they want $100 for the armrest and headrest cloth covers that were once included. Pathetic.

I am familiar with Ashley as they have a big presence in Mississippi. I think like most furniture manufacturers today they make some decent furniture in the the US and import a lot of stuff. I think the buyer has to really look at furniture now to determine quality as all brands seem to have good stuff and cheap junk.

I lost my phone down the a crevice in a manual recliner that I use a fair amount. While removing the cushions and flipping it over to extract the phone, I saw the brand. BarcaLounger. Not a bad chair.
