What is a "reclining chair"?
A reclining chair is a type of chair designed to allow the person sitting in it to lean back and adjust the angle of the backrest for added comfort. It often has a footrest that can be extended, letting the sitter fully relax. Reclining chairs are commonly used in living rooms or lounges and are popular for resting, watching television, or napping. Some models may also have additional features, like built-in massagers or adjustable settings, to enhance comfort and support.
