Looking for a good reclining chair.

[jedi]

So I'm re-doing my living room and I'm looking for the chair that I can enjoy for the rest of my life. I'd like one that's comfortable of course, one that reclines, and one that even has a tray or a cup holder for my snacks and drinks.

Any recommendations on where to look?

Is there any choice for a top of the line recliner other than:

If money isn't an issue...

The most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.... (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1093469585290&skuId=5823111&type=pr oduct)

For 1k each, they better be the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. I plan on getting 2 of them in a couple of months. Try one out at your local Best Buy. Watson's has a similiar brand for a few hundred less.

Harbor Town- Style 532 (page 5 in the above list)
My brother and i each own one of these. The thinkg about this chair is the manner in which the feet recline in terrific proportion to the rest of the body. When you begin to lean back the entire chair slides forward allowing for many comfortable positions.
Drawback- Somewhat Underpadded armrests and no cup/snack holders.
Price range around 700 bucks.
Extrememly comfotable for a chair.

My favorite seat in the house is the reclining couch we have from lazy-boy. Great sprawling room.

Of the 7 places to seat yourself in our living room only one doesn't recline- the middle seat on the couch.

Nah, it's home entertainment, right? I'm happy that it has the cupholder that I'm looking for. Now if I can only get a built-in tray with that.

La-Z-Boy is clearly the cream of the crop when it comes to recliners. they INVENTED the recliner, and have the best product on the market. all other brands are basically knock-offs.

LZB is the ONLY recliner that has:

A) the ability to customize the amount of effort it takes to ease into a reclining position.(adjustable tension)

B) a 4-sided unibody frame(for durability...all others are 3-sided frames)

C) a back and footrest that operate independently. LZB is the only recliner you can recline without putting your feet up.

D) total lumbar support in ALL reclining positions. ALL OTHER BRANDS, when you recline, the back of the chair "breaks away" from the seat, causing you to lose all lumbar support.

E) a locking footrest. this prevents drooping or sagging. especially important for those with long or heavy legs. ALL OTHER RECLINERS have footrests which are retracted with your legs....they do not lock in the upright position.

F) 18 DIFFERENT footrest heights available(rocking recliners only), along with 3 different positions to lock your footrest.

FACT: 90% of ALL recliner manufacturers use a mechanism built by the SAME COMPANY (Leggett & Platt), and they operate basically the same. LZB manufactures their own mechanisms, and they are the ONLY ONES visually and operationally distinct from the rest.

cheers!

(yes, i am in the furniture business...no, i do not work for L-Z-Boy.

cheers!

Right now, all i know is it is from the Leather center in Carrollton, Texas. this place may have gone out of business, but if it hasn't, you should definitely look into getting one of these. It puts all other chairs to shame.
