How fare back will the recliner lean back? The picture only shows a slight 20 degree angle...can u lean back fare enough to take a Nap?

Yes. I actually slept in it quite frequently when I had a newborn. It is a very comfortable chair.

It depends on how tired you are. If you are tall like I am at 6 foot 2 inches, the distance from the back stop to where the horizontal cushion ends is a little short. Other than that, the micro fiber material feels great and overall the chair is pretty sturdy.

The chair does lean back a bit. We bought for a friend w/back problems & he said that you do not want one to sit straight if you had back issues. I will ask him for an update as we gave for a Christmas gift.

No, although it tilts back, it isn't a recliner. You can tilt maybe 45 degrees.

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.

Honestly, it's not a chair for anyone needing to lean back as the back is about a foot high from the cushion. Sitting for awhile - since you really need to just sit and not lean back - it's comfortable. My grandsons can sit on it comfortably because they either lay across the cushion (the 2-yr old, the 5-yr old and 7-yr old don't really sit anywhere long (!)) but they do use it as their bed, and that's the primary reason I purchased it in the first place. I hope this answers your question!

You wouldn't be comfortable because of the hard plastic pieces on the back. Sometimes they bother me when I am reclining. Give it a try and find out for yourself how it feels.

No recline. There is a "wedge" that can sit under the seat - it's a plastic wedge that gives a slight backwards tilt - that seems to make it a little better for sleeping. To install or remove the wedge, the seat needs to be removed/unhooked.

hi sherrin! A couple responses (after using mine for about 6 months, and taking some measurements): (1) The recline is not adjustable (only 2 positions - open or shut). (2) I don't think it reclines as much as you think (if you look closely at the photo, I think the placement of the hinge creates a minor optical illusion). I actually measured the recline - it's about 20-21 degrees, whereas an average dining room chair back would be reclined 15 degrees, and the average living room furniture would be 15-20 degree recline. To me, it feels the same angle as any other living room furniture I've ever used. (3) Because the chair sits lower to the ground (12 or 13", compared to an average dining room chair of 16"), your knees would be in your chest if you tried to "prop up" the back too much. Yes I think you could back it up against a wall, just doesn't seem like it would be comfortable. I'm over 6 ft, I think this chair is super-comfy the way it is (I'm usually working on my laptop, but I also use it for watching TV &/or gaming). My suggestion is, take your measurements, only get it if you think it will work for you as-is.

No! This is one of my biggest regrets. It does not lean back at all... Very stiff. And no butt cushion! It hurts my but after just 3 hours sitting in it. I had to buy a pillow for it. Would not recommend.

No. You just lean back against it and it reclines. Very comfortable and easy

no. it only reclines 20-30 degrees. it's a bit difficult to stand up. i've almost fallen a few times.

David, here is where we are coming from. My husband likes the sofa, BUT, he said to let you know that he does not try to recline it after the first day, because he is not sure it will return to position, for like you mention, the recliner has an issue. Ours also had a tear in the back , but we got that repaired. HOWEVER, he likes the sofa very much. I was going to return, but he said, he prefers that we keep it. HERE is a positive. There way the lower part of each top cushion curves out makes it easier on our backs.In fact, if you sit and put up your feet, it is almost like reclining because of the shaping of the back cushions. And, the price is certainly right. Have had ours a few months. Hope this is helpful. Will be interested in what you determine, one way or the other.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

Hey Andrew, the back does recline well. Im 6'1 and my feet dont hang off the end when fully reclined. Im not quite sure but it is some sort of leather. I live in south florida, and I have still yet to sweat on my couch/love seat/recliner. All three are the same material. Hope this helps!

I am 6.0' and in the fully reclining position (for napping) the heel of my feet our just past the end of the reclining part. So as for me only my feet are unsupported. In the normal reclining position (for watching TV) my wife measured that 12" hang past the end of the chair. So as I said in my review, if you can fit a regular full size reclining chair in the room, that would certainly be more comfortable.

The swivel works in both recline positions. At full recline, your back will be max at a 45 degree angle. My husband is average height and a little stocky. He loves this recliner. Compact, but big enough. Ver comfortable and stylish. I am an average sized woman- unpacked and easily assembled recliner in minutes.

Are you asking how to put it in a reclining position? Start with it completely flattened, and as you lift the back, there are several position levels, from most reclined to 90 degree position. If you want to go back to a more reclined position, you push the back forward from the 90 degree level, and then pull it backward to its flattened state and start over.
