The Recliner Chair – Not Just For Men Anymore



Almost as American as apple pie is the recliner chair. It is a staple in any man cave and it entices its users to settle in for a nap, a movie or just some much needed relaxation. A version of the recliner chair dates back to the 1800s, but the chair we know and love was first created by two cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker. They took their design from a porch chair and later made a padded version also. The original name of their company was the Floral City Furniture, but after receiving their patent in 1931 they changed the name to La-Z-Boy. The first chairs did not have a foot rest but the Barcalounger company added it 1947 and La-Z-Boy added it as well several years later.

The television show FRIENDS revitalized the sale of motion furniture as Chandler and Joey popularized the new sleeker versions of the old classic. These days, recliner chairs are made to fit and match any decor. There are recliners that go in home theaters and can hug the wall but still recline. These save room in small theaters and provide ultimate comfort while watching a movie.
