What is the best recliner for a tall person you may ask?
To find that, a great place to start would be with the Astor Rocking Recliner!
The Astor Rocking Recliner is a generously scaled recliner designed for ultimate comfort and support, making it perfect for those who want both relaxation and ample seating space.
Built with a tall base that adds 1.5 inches to the overall height, this rocker recliner is ideal for taller individuals or those who prefer elevated seating. Its tall back is thoughtfully designed with three semi-attached cushions, which can be adjusted to provide personalized support, ensuring maximum comfort for your head, neck, and back.
The Astor’s design includes padded flared arms that add to its inviting look while providing comfortable support for your arms. The chaise seat and leg rest offer continuous support, cradling your body from the seat through the extended leg rest, creating a seamless area for lounging. Whether you’re sitting up or reclining, the Astor is crafted to offer plush comfort at all times.
This versatile chair is engineered to both rock and recline, offering total relaxation with a gentle rocking motion when the leg rest is not engaged. For reclining, the back ratchets down into 16 different positions, giving you a wide range of options to find your perfect angle.
It requires only 12 inches of clearance from the wall for full recline, making it an excellent option for smaller spaces. A side-mounted handle allows you to easily lift the leg rest into three supportive, safely locked positions, offering additional comfort options for your legs.
The back can also recline independently without activating the leg rest, giving you the flexibility to adjust only the chair back for a customized seating experience. Filled with double-picked blown fiber, the cushions maintain their plushness and shape retention over time, while the high-grade foam seat cushions ensure lasting comfort and appearance.
