Useful Tips to Help You Decide

There is a small risk of pets or children getting trapped under the chair as it lowers.

Always check underneath before you lower your chair.

Don’t forget you will need room behind your chair to allow it to recline.

Neck or head cushions can be a useful addition – particularly when reclining.

The leg rest should support your leg right down to the ankle.

Check that your feet are NOT dangling off the end.
