Color Name:Black Leather and Maple wood base
I've been trying out the Perfect Chair, model PC-6, for a few days. I have some reservations about it. Maybe I was set up to have reservations when I noted that the accompanying literature warns persons who've had back surgery to consult with their physicians before using the chair. It doesn't say what the problem might be. I notice such warning because I've had back surgery and have occasional discomfort from degenerative discs in my lower spine. But since the chair was already in my living room, I decided to forego medical consultation and try it anyway.
I find the chair less than fully comfortable in all positions but the fully laid back, zero-gravity, position. Three issues contribute:
1) When the chair is fully upright, the seat tilts forward, so you tend to be sliding out of it. That's not good for a long sitdown (obviously, a reclining chair is not intended for fully upright use, anyway).
2) In all by the zero-gravity position, the rather thin padding makes the lumbar compression normal in sitting pretty noticeable. (I believe you can shell out another couple hundred dollars for some additional padding).
3) The leg-rest area doesn't support my feet. After years of using an ottoman, I found this decidedly uncomfortable, although it would probably diminish over time. A shorter person would not have the unsupported-foot problem, but then their knee-to-fanny length might not match that dimension of the seat.
It appears to me that the "zero-gravity" position is what this chair is intended for. That is, tilted all the way back so the occupant's lower back is totally decompressed and the knees are elevated. I expect all the zero-gravity chairs work fine in this position. But I believe you get the same effect by lying flat on an exercise mat with your calves elevated on a pillow and/or chair. Do you need to spend a thousand bucks or so to do this? If your back is problem-free, then you probably will tolerate the Perfect Chair in all its positions, just as you would a less costly recliner.

I just got my Perfect Chair 4 days ago, and I think the best description for it really is, PERFECT!! I'd been wanting one of these chairs for quite some time since I first saw one in the Better Back Store. Since they are pretty pricey I couldn't afford to get one for a while. I have major back problems, and have a really hard time finding chairs that are comfortable for me to sit in, but this chair is awesome!! I can sit it in it for fairly long periods, then just get up briefly and go right back to it. It's called a zero gravity chair, and is based on the designs by NASA. When this chair is fully reclined there is absolutely no weight or pressure felt in my low back! I love it!! I can comfortably sit in a recliner for the 1st time in over 10 yrs.! Maybe too comfortably, I always want to fall asleep after reclining for just a short period! Even with the chair only partially reclined it's comfortable, but you still feel some weight and pressure in the lumbar area. It's most comfortable when it's fully reclined. This chair also has an adjustable headrest which is good when you want to read or watch TV, and comes with a head and neck pillow that attaches to the chair, as well as an adjustable lumbar cushion to help you really get comfortable. I got my chair in the electric recline since I had problems bringing the chair back up without straining my back in the manual version. I'm 5'5" and I'm just a bit too short for my arms to reach the end of the arm rests to get to the release to bring the chair up. I tried it a good number of times in the store and never could get the hang of it, it just gave me a backache. My daughter is 5'9" and had no problems raising or lowering the manual recliner. It's an extra $300 for the electric recline upgrade, but I feel it's well worth it for someone who has back problems to begin with or may be on the short side, so that you don't strain your back trying to get comfortable, but if you can't afford the electric, I'm sure that with practice you could handle the manual recline. This chair is a major investment, but I feel that it's money well spent for others like me who can't easily find a comfortable chair. Maybe I should let Goldilocks know about these chairs, she'd probably find, as I have, that this chair is just right!

The Zero Gravity chair is wonderful for specific needs. I have various musculoskeletal aches and pains ( back, neck, shoulder ) that inevitably reach a point during the night that forces me up and out of bed.
I usually find myself sitting on the couch as sitting is less uncomfortable. Sometimes I fall asleep there for the night. So I was looking for something that would maximize the comforting result of changing position and perhaps be something to really sleep or nap on.
At the same time, I have venous insufficiency and swelling of the ankles where elevating my legs is good therapy. For both these things the chair is terrific. My night is now comfortably divided between the bed and chair, the latter bringing great comfort. The leg elevation gives the chair a one two punch.
I couldn't have asked for a better solution to my problems.
I should say that the chair can be used to watch TV or sit and chat, but it isn't ideal or worth spending the money for that. I give it an " A+ " for the things it is directly for.
