This is the best video I've seen..He has more knowledge than the salesman at the store..

Thanks so much for your information. I spent almost $2000.00 just 18 months ago for a poorly made clunker. My husband has NPH relies on a recliner for safety and comfort. It was purchased from a dealer who sang praises about warranty, quality and service.....all of which became a total nightmare. Within 3 months the hand control stopped working and we were told it would be 8 weeks to get another. There is no manual backup to operate the chair resulting in my having to call EMS to get him out of the chair. Within 4 months the padding on the left arm rest wore down so badly that sitting in the chair was painful. It was like leaning on the edge of a piece of lumber.....I mean no padding or even batting on the frame....just lumber with a piece of fabric over it. I warranty people refused to respond, telling me it was the manufacturer’s problem not theirs.I called the dealer who told me he would get it fixed. They sent a repairman to the house who replaced a piece and showed me how the thing was poorly made and designed. He said it would breakdown again and he was right. The owner of the chair dealership was nasty to the point of even insulting me with political comments....was that nuts! He didn’t even have any idea about my personal political leanings and I honestly don’t know why politics was an issue in buying a piece of furniture. All I wanted was to get the chair fixed . It was a horrible nightmare. Avoid Pride products and dealers! I now have a pillow strapped on the left side until I find another chair. Iam going to swallow the loss and have a bonfire in my backyard! Sometime ago I had a La-Z-Boy for over 15 years and it is still being used by a friend. I’m going back to La-Z-Boy . Warranty scams and so called American manufactures are capable of being crooked liars!

This is a wonderful video! Put up 5 years ago and all the information is as useful today as when it was posted! So well done!

I'm in the market for a recliner so I've been doing my research on KZfaq. Your video is one of the best that I've seen. Thank you!

Thank you for bring some light to recliners !

One of the most amazing beneficial videos that I've ever watched. Thanks

You've provided a valuable service to those of us searching for the perfect recliner. Many thanks.

I learned a lot here! The other videos I watched felt like they were just trying to sell me specific brands. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! ❤️

You rock, Recliner Repair Guy (no pun intended). You are informative, calm and thorough. I appreciate your attention to detail and practical advice. Thank you !

Your advise comes from absolute knowledge and skill and I'm so lucky I found you before I made such a big purchase. You seem to have covered most of it for me which has helped enormously. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. Brilliant! :)

Wish I would of found your site before my purchase. I’ve always bought Lazy-Boys, but always had a problem with fabric pilling up. Especially on foot rest. Your videos are very clear and to the point! Thanks keep up the Great work. Also appreciate the closed caption.

I knew i found the right channel the second i saw the thumbnail. Not pushy. Straight forward. A real person. Not ai or a salesman. Subbed!

This was so informative and helpful. Your presentation is clear, concise and comprehensive.Thanks so much for sharing this video!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! I have been putting off buying a recliner for years because it is an expensive item of furniture and I never felt like I was confident in finding the right one and having buyer's remorse. I've been to various showrooms and just randomly sat in chairs without properly having a way to evaluate other than general "this feels good". Which almost all of them do. Knowing how to properly check various aspects of a recliner as you mentioned has definitely helped me feel more confident as I continue my shopping journey! PS - Also awesome that you're doing a video on buying the right recliner... but, didn't shoot the video while sitting in the comfort of your recliner! PPS - Thanks again for the video. All the best!

Great presentation. Thank you. Just retired, hoping to buy a recliner for my bedroom - saw a lot of options, your guidance will surely help. Thank you again. Sydney, Australia.

Thanks for the informative video. Enjoyed your clear, easy to understand presentation.

Thanks! Good advice/info! I am looking for my first recliner now. I have a lot more homework to do.

Thank you for this video. Well done and informative. I would appreciate examples of high quality manufacturers who sell parts direct to consumers. So far, I haven't found any.

Thank you so much for such a great and informative video.Things to think about before purchasing a quality chair for sure.

I'm going to be shopping for a recliner and found this very useful. Thanks so much for the great information.

Best informational video I've ever seen on You Tube. Thank you so much

Your time and video was helpful 😊 I’m a big guy so wish me luck today finding my recliner. Thanks

A lot of good information your presentation was great especially about getting parts I had an older chair the remote went out on me and I had to get a new one fortunately for me I was able to get one again thank you for the information well done very well done

Man, I wish I had seen this video before I went out and bought a $1,100. Lazy Boy recliner. Although, I think I did pretty much the right thing in the store. I did not settle until I found one that fit me comfortably. Thanks for the info!

Thank you for this informative presentation. Well done and very helpful

Excellent, highly informative video. Thank you.

We are considering an electric recliner for our son with special needs. We need a chair that will lock in the reclining position and I am starting to gather information. I also watch for a chair that has fabric between the seat and the foot rest. The open area above the foot rest can cause injuries when you have young children.

Saw the Air Monarchs and knew I was in the right place--great video

One of the best inforrmation viideo I have ever seen. Thank you

I learned some really good info here, thank you kindly!

Brilliant, concise information. Thank you. Ps... love your voice.

Excellent video!

Thanks for the video and advice!

Thank you!!! This is FANTASTIC info to have!!! Definitely going to subscribe and share!! I gave MS, I'm always telling family & friends, a GOOD comfortable bed and, chair....are lifesavers!!!

Very informative!

Great video. Very thorough. Thanks. 👍🏻

Thanks. That was awesome and helpful.

Great video. I will offer as I am currently in the throws of finding a chair. NOT easy to check all the boxes. Get the right width and the height is off, get a great look and the comfort isn't there etc etc. I think "Comfort" and a look your Wife can tolerate is about as close as you can get.

great information, for left handed people the operating devices should be on the left of the recliner and like wise. very valuable tips for the recliner to last several years. thanks sir. sincerely. arun 🙏

Holy cow, I am very grateful

really very helpful video ,thank you !! 👍

My wife: What did you achieve today? Me: Multiple foot elevations

great help !

Great video fun and informative thank you

What would you recommend, either brand or style etc.. for a bit heavier guy, 6'1 with neck problems. Like a recliner that doesn't push the head to far forward. Like ones that I could sink into, but with current weight, don't think it'd last long, shape wise. Also would have to stay away from hot materials, ie. leather, faux, suede etc.. live in a very hot climate and I produce a ton of body heat. Don't wanna get stuck to the material nor ruin it.

Very good video. Thank you for sharing. Im 6'9" and 320. All muscle of course. (LOL). Trying to find a recliner online that I can order as going into showrooms has been worse than buying a car. Many sales people do not understand that Big and Tall presents other concerns. Can you recommend a top brand list of companies that have a line of products for guys like me AND hit the requirements on your video? Especially the shipping to parts directly. Did this with my office chair awhile ago and it was a wonderful experience to have a company (LifeForm) warranty out a seat pan with a brand new one for an issue after 6 years and for $20 shipping. This office chair is going on 8 years old. If only they made recliners huh? Thanks again.

Thanks 😊 this was informative 👍 👏

love your channel

You need an affiliate link in your comments. This is great information!

Great info - thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you this is very very helpful. My wife will enjoy it. At least I hope she knows I sent it off to her so she can figure out which one she needs. We have all kinds of recliners at our house and I told her the one she sitting in was horrible for her back. She’s already got pins in her back so She needs to do something I thought giving her my old recliner was going to help because it was a little more adjustable, but now she didn’t like that. It was too short for her legs when she kicks back it hit her in the wrong place right on the ankles, so I don’t know will this probably will be much more easy at least if she hast to go get another chair

very informative video!

Thank you very educative.

thank you very informative

Also, is how quiet is the operation of the chair. My LazyBoy makes a loud klunk from the teeth mechanism of the chair and a ratcheting sound when I extend the foot rest. Not acceptabel when compared to other manufacturers who have silent (manual) operation.

Thank you just got a power recliner

Excellent video. Wish I would have seen it without laying out 1500 on an electric chair with a headrest that is adjustable. Useless unless you have the right fit. Thank you again.

All great info to know. Thank you.

you are really great 👍. thanks for the wonderful video

Great video alot of good information. One question, are the ones with lower seat being lifted under the knees better ( like in cars ) or the ones that are flat ( paralel with the floor )

Is there a brand you feel is best quality ? I’m short and would prefer 20” or less seat depth and I’m looking for a loveseat that reclines. We bought a La Z Boy Brooks yesterday. But it’s not too late to cancel . Based on your videos, I’m concerned that it may become uncomfortable over time . I really only picked the Brooks cuz we couldn’t afford anything else at that store . And I kept encountering the seat / back gap when I’d recline at other stores with cheaper recliners . La Z Boy didn’t have the gap and the seat depth of Brooks seemed pretty good . But I read that it’s 21” deep . We were in a hurry because they were closing and I need a chair ASAP ! I thought it was in stock there or if not have bought it . We will get it Wednesday if I don’t cancel . My husband loves it . But he doesn’t sit in things long enough to know .

I have watched many of your videos; thanks, they are very informative! One question I had: our La-Z-Boy (2018) has begun to make a "ping" sound (from a spring) when it rocks, and we can't find a way to stop it. Do you have any thoughts on a remedy for this problem? THX!

Great info. Thanks for not having background music, though your speech audio is a bit low. Thanks much!

Thanks a lot Mr

Thank you for making this video. I only wish I had seen it before I invested in a power chair where my feet don't quite touch the ground and where there is insufficient padding in the seat cushion (too firm). After watching your video I think I now have some valuable guidelines to follow in selecting my next chair ! Thanks.

Thank you a lot of information

I'm in love.

What a great helpful video. Thank you! I only wish you would have actually shared some brands that you trust. With your experience, that would be such valuable information.

Such a useful set of tips and explanations. Thank you!

Thank you for this information. I am looking to purchase a reclining sofa. I am leaning more to the power reclining sofa micro suede fabric. The furniture store is recommending the warranty for 3 years. I really don’t want to buy the warranty, if it was a manual reclining sofa, I know I would not purchase the extended warranty. Do you know how much service repair would be for a power recliner when the power no longer works. Thanks

Great info thank you.

could you kindly suggest best non power recliner for person less than 5ft 5 inches and less than 130 lbs. -for very elderly person -pref. leather (for easy cleaning) .Thank you. very gratifying to see awesome and very educative videos.

Mucho thanks....ya done good.

Good video. Thank you. 🌲🌝☘️

We need adjustanle (possibly inflatable) lumber and neck roll support.

I just bought my first recliner, I'm 6'4 and most chair's at the store are too small. I ended up buying a lazyboy that is made for 6'3 and up. I've only had it a week but I feel it's just a tad too big. Sometimes I have buyers remorse about the chair. My feet are flat on the ground with shoes on and barefoot the balls of my feet touch the ground. The problem with me is I've spent my whole life with knees up in most sitting situations, so I can't tell if I'm finally sitting right or it's just too big. I wish I knew if i made a mistake or if breaking it in will be better or worse.

Thank you for posting. Can you recommend a recliner for someone who is heavyset (~430 lbs.) and 6'3" tall? What was the recliner model at the beginning of your video?

can one use a recliner for a computer chair i only seen one person on youtube that did. this is the computer chair and recliner i was thinking to get but as a computer chair : POWERSTONE Gaming Recliner Massage Gaming Chair with Footrest Ergonomic PU Leather Single Sofa with Cup Holder Headrest and Side Pouch, Adjustable Living Room Chair Home Theater Seating

Thank you

I have a power chair with the control on the right side my cable got caught & is chewed up,and I need to replace, can I put in a handheld controller instead? The part of the power cable involved is from the control to the first connection.thanks in advance.

what the fabric name of this one please ?

Is there a way to limit the forward rocking I have to push with my hands when I get up and my the chair rocks so far forward and down it’s difficult to get up. We just bought our 3rd set of recliners the others were all gliders these were supposed to be gliders also. I should have sent them back but thought I could get accustomed to it. I’ve had them for a week not satisfied. Also I still have the old recliners would it be a huge job to swap out the glider mechanization into the new recliners

Can a Lazy Boy manual be converted to a left hand activation, like for someone how is right hand impared?

I wear out backs like crazy, because I spend a lot of time in my recliner. Specifically the middle and lower part of the back. I sit in it for about 8 hours a day, for my job. How should I fix this problem? Just learn to repair them and keep fixing them? Or is there a brand that has really strong back and lumbars? Any particular model? Thank you!

I am in the market for a recliner. The metal in the frame broke. Can not argue with it lasting me faithfully since 2018.

After having my sectional sofa for 21 years, I bought new furniture- a sofa & 2 recliners. It was so soft and plush and felt so comfortable at first. But now, I am experiencing back, shoulder and neck pain and I don’t know what to do. This furniture was rather expensive. I wish I’d seen this video before I purchased my new furniture. It does not affect my significant other like it is doing me☹️ Do you have suggestions on inserts or cushions/pillows that would help? Thank you in advance

Also on electric operated recliners Puppes love to chew on the cordes.

My father who's passed on now always had some version of recliner - I remember some were Lazy boy - Fro '70's until he passed in 2017 - He lived in Fla. For last 35yrs so only would get down for visit every now & again - Now that I'm in my 60's kinda wanting to get recliner & upon looking around there's million models- Although as farmer I'm much more active than my Dad so didn't see myself in recliner for another 20yr but my adult kids want to purchase one & hey on weekends might be nice & their going to buy one regardless so might as well have some input - Can you recommend Good solid chair or brand for the money - I don't like or need lot of bells & whistles but would care about reasonable quality @ 6'2" & 250lbs I think simple model w/ handle on side & probably Leather as I'm quite frequently little dirty from being on tractor or chores- I live in 150 yr old farm house so not really looking for fancy- Didn't mean to write a book here but you seem to low what your talking about & I'd appreciate any advice- Thanks, Jack

Perfect explanation. Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for such a helpful video! I have a smallish (perfect for me fit, now that I know how to calculate that!) leather Natuzzi recliner I purchased a little over 20 years ago and it's my favorite piece of furniture; in fact lately I've started sleeping in it as it is way more comfy than my bed! It has a cable release, the kind you pull straight out and it's been getting stiffer and more difficult to get to release, until yesterday when no matter what I do it won't release. I didn't want to force it for fear of breaking it, but I have no idea what to do now... the store was across the country and probably not in business any more. Anything can be done? Or similar recommendation? ☺

I installed an ejector seat for easy getting out. I left the window open by accident and never saw my nan again :(

Any reviews for Terylene fabric Colorado electric reclining armchairs ? Unsure weather to buy or not.

@reclinerrepairguy4155 3:34 This exact chair that you demo in this exact time stamp of the video, what model of La-z-boy chair is this? Is this the pinnacle rocking recliner? Also what color is this chair, and is this a micro-fiber recliner, or is this chair made of chenille? Will definitely stop by La-z-boy with my dad one of these days so I can demo a pinnacle recliner before i get one. Can't wait to get a new recliner! a blue soft chenille la-z-boy pinnacle recliner to replace my cozy precious old blue la-z-boy chair i miss so much!

Thanks much, it helps. I have bought bonzy home recliners, they have 2 years warranty.

Is there a smaller brand that makes excellent quality recliners? I bought push back RH recliners that are uncomfortable and the backs of both of them are loose. Help!

I want to years videos you showed A junction box what kind can you replace it because that’s what it’s going out on my wife’s recliner

Who do you suggest that we use to purchase an electric reclining sofa? We have tried Flex Steel X 2 and Lay Z Boy, all of which have structurally failed within a year. I am a big guy, but 6'5", 250 lbs should not mean that I cannot have a reliable sofa. My serious back issues prevent me from sleeping in a bed and I rely on the electric control to get myself in the "just right" position. Surely there is a company out there that produces a quality, structurally reliable unit. Hope you have a suggestion as we are at our wits end, about to return the LZB for a refund after 3 repair jobs in 6 months.....

Good information. What is the proper height for arm rests? Thanks

What is the healthiest, low maintenance soft fabric on a recliner?
