Are your legs above your heart when fully reclined?

Yes, your calves and feet are. It was an important aspect of this chair for me. Many chairs of similar design do not have your feet high enough. This one does.

It's preset position (not independent) for both legs & back. As you recline, the legs go up 1st til reach ~80% then back tilts so that if legs fully up you're probably about a 10-20% back recline. Then proceeds from there to full back recline. We've found using a pillow behind helps if want the legs full up.

Yes it does fully recline, however it's not comfortable to lay on your stomach due to cross bars digging into your body.

Instructions call for sitting feet, flat on floor, wrist above heart. I'd say follow instructions see if you get accurate reading then you can try lying down and compare. Don't know if that helps or not!

This chair only has one reclining position. It will not recline far enough for you to have your legs above your heart. Hope this answers your question.

The answer is "kind of". You can have the footrest up and not be fully reclined. But you are somewhat reclined. For instance I'm in the chair right now sitting up watching TV but too far back to eat if I wanted to lean over my plate. Note that if you are a heavy person the chair back might recline whether you like it or not. The angle is controlled by your body pressure, not a lever. You pull the lever to get the footrest up, then use your back pressure to adjust the angle of recline. I'm 150 pounds and it's not a problem, but I read other reviews on here where people said their husbands are heavy so the back goes back when they put the footrest up. If I can figure out how to post a picture I will. The answer is "kind of". You can have the footrest up and not be fully reclined. But you are somewhat reclined.

I am not sure ... but I am 6'0" and when reclined my heels rest right on edge of leg rest (which is very comfortable and nice when wearing shoes. I love the chair ... good investment for only $450.00 delivered. My chair is much darker than color shown in picture, it is a very deep brown color, almost looks black from a distance.

It will be all "flat" when back reclined and legs elevated. Cheap leg-rests? It's standard for all wheelchairs -- easy to clean/sanitize. I take it outside and spray it with the hose after treating it with Clorox. I use special cover for leg-rests. Indeed, you can elevate legs higher if put pillow under knees.

No - strictly upper body. Only leg action are bars to anchor your legs under.

Hello! It sure does. In fact, when reclined all the way your entire body is set in 'zero gravity' mode. So relaxing! My purchase is so worth it. Thanks. Enjoy Christopher!

If i understand you correctly, then no. There is little cushion on the portion of the item closest to you. Most of the cushioned area is on the bottom side toward the top, or furthest from the body.

In the furthest back position you lay with your feet above your heart. It does have a pull down lock to keep it in position under each armrest.

If your feet are in front of your hips you are in a recumbent position. This can vary quite a bit. So we try to suggest that you will not be in a full-recumbent position but more like a "Beach Cruiser Bike".

No, the moving/massaging components are all located on the bottom of the feet only. The foot compartments do squeeze the entire foot though which includes the top of the feet.
