Recliner opinions

[MissingInAction 25106]

I'm nearing 50 and the decades of abuse and injuries are starting to flare up. It's difficult to get comfortable without drugs and or alcohol. 

I've been shopping around  for a recliner and was hoping for some advice on what I should look for or be wary of.

Price cap is $800

Should you double your budget and look for a lift chair?

this fucking board sometimes. 

 

Hey OP:  Go to the fucking furniture store, sit in some chairs, and buy the one you like.

I just spend a $1000 on a laZboy “James” model. Being delivered next week. Will let you know.

Lazyboy... and look on Nextdoor, facebook, etc.  Wifes tend to not like them and you will find plenty of almost new ones for 50% or less.

$800 seems light for something that needs to be a real comfort (e.g. 50 years old and you hurt and want to relax a lot in it) versus just some dumb furniture piece you don't care too much about and might sit in every now and again in your media room or something.

Nebraska Furniture Mart is the last place I bought a recliner and prices were good. That's all I got.

Did I just get Gil Banged?

Probably out of your budget, but I would suggest hitting Craigslist or similar places for a used "zero gravity chair".  They can be expensive with motorized controls, but those frills aren't important.  

[Bevo&Pevo 5206]

Get one with heat and massage features.  Unfortunately, the massage feature is mechanical and not french maid.

[tbone_ 14128]

They’re all ugly as fuck. Who cares. I bought a comfy as shit one off Craig’s list a while back for $175. Sad dogfaced husband helped me carry it out because wife wouldn’t let him keep it. Pussy. Like I said, it was comfy as shit.

I’d try Facebook now.

[Texzilla58 4738]

Wife acceptance factor is important. Get a matching pair so she has one too. If she is married to a recliner that farts, get her her own.

[tbone_ 14128]

I could be wrong but I don’t think wife acceptance means jack shit for MIA

[blacklab 11941]

I went to several nice places including the lazyboy store and couldn't find shit less than $2500

I went to Mega Furniture at mopac/parmer next to the old Fry's and they had several in the $500-$800 range. I'd try there if I were you.

What kinda features does a $2500 recliner have?  

[tx 3 putt 77070]

I picked one up at Costco for $400. It’s very comfortable and extremely easy to sleep in

i highly recommend you browse the website. It was much cheaper than anywhere else

Also, hard pass on a used recliner. Don’t want something someone used a personal fuck bench !  Chicks squirting all over it 

 

fuck that 

[tx 3 putt 77070]

A love seat with two recliners is another way to go

Ashley has some cheap ones too. I did the same and the cheapest one i sat in was also easily the most comfortable. $400 out the door. 
 

Lazy boy, WTF

That's not going to be the problem. The problem is some fat, sweaty fuck spent 90 percent of his time in it.

We had a good one from Ashley for years. Got us through rocking 2 kids to sleep every night. Finally got rid of it because it started squeaking and I couldn’t find out from where no matter what I did. Good chair though.

This is my future 🔮.

I've never met MIA, but for some reason, I seem to recall him being pretty tall. That really limits your choices when it comes to recliners if you want head support. I'm about 6'5" and only about 10% of the recliners I tried were tall enough, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend the one I bought. It's y'all enough but not built sturdy enough for how far up the backrest the weight extends when reclined, if that makes sense.

[tx 3 putt 77070]

good point, get a XL recliner for a better fit

I'm around 6'3" when I'm not a slouching POS.

Great advice because part of getting comfortable is full extension (thats what she said).

I'm waiting another month so I can drop another $500 into it.
