Is this chair true zero gravity so that when reclined the feet are actually HIGHER than the heart?

When I recline all the way back my feet are higher than my heart. However the incline is not as high as my old Relax the Back chair which cost over 1000 dollars 15 years ago. Overall I am very happy with this product. I live in FL and the lightness of the material is much more comfortable than the leather zero gravity chair.

Answer is no. But feet is slight lower than the heart or about even. Unless you can alter in which I haven't figure out yet. I had to check myself before answer the question.

When the footrest is up, the chair is then in a mode where it is able to recline to nearly horizontal. You don't have to recline, you can use the footrest in a standard seated position. If you extend the footrest up via the lever, then you may or may not recline. No, the footrest does not have multiple levels. I hope this helps...

I agree that chair is close to ground, & may cause high knees when feet are placed on the foot rests. Good chair otherwise.

Yes. The angle of inclination of the chair back is infinite between vertical and (almost completely) horizontal. What you CAN'T adjust - not a deal-breaker for me, but something to consider before purchase - is that there is no adjustment of the inclination of the SEAT. In other words, if you choose to adjust the back to a position somewhere between vertical and horizontal, you may find yourself slipping a bit. I love this chair, but not everyone will I'm sure. The only other caveats I've found in the month-plus I've had it are (1) the padding in the seat could be either firmer, or deeper, or both; and (2) the "foot" rest hits mid-calf on a person over six feet tall. You'll have to decide if either of these are deal-breakers FOR YOU.

Yes. Foot rest comes up then back reclines. A good napping chair per my granny!

No. The only movement there is, is the seat height adjustment. I'm sitting in it now and tried to tilt it back and it's comfortably rigid. Hope this helps!

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

I am not sure. Best to check with manufacturer. It is chair height so a person does not experience the strain on back and legs to lower the body or rise again after use.

It does not recline to my knowledge. I returned the chair because it was smaller than I expected.

I have 3 chairs similar to this one and in full recline position the legs are nearly level with the heart. This chair is not a rocker but a glider.This chair is a good buy, the other two chair cost 3 times what this one did and this chair is a lot more conformable.

no this chair doesn't go flat. what makes this chair more than a $15 chair and highly comfortable in spite of not fitting your request is laying on your back and having the pressure of your weight taken off (hence the 'zero gravity' name--though it's not truly zero...it's quite nice otherwise.)

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

Yes, it goes way back so that your feet are above your heart. The only problem I have is that it doesn't lock into place in any other position....

I personally am too short to make the chair lean back, my feet barely touch the floor. However, my husband did figure out that it has a slight recline if you just lean back. Not sure exactly how much of a recline but, I would estimate somewhere around 5-10 degrees back from upright

Even if it's in the locked position it will recline if you really push, but you should do as suggested by other and turn the locking locking flanges to the unlocked position. This b rand of zero grav chair actually resists forward and back movement more than the original Lafuma chairs so once you're in a good position you sort of stay there, which I like. But yeah, hold the armrests, push with your back and the foot support raises as the back declines.

Not really, just a tiny bit. Like if you were to just stretch and go back it's got a little tilt. I haven't tried testing it because I don't want to fall on my ass or break it lmao!

This chair does not lay flat. As you recline the bottom of the chair raises.
