His main concern is that most of the footrests hit him mid-calf when reclined. He would really like for his feet to sit on the footrest since it cuts off circulation when a footrest hits you at your ankle or calf instead of supporting your feet. Do any of the models listed above have an extension that comes out when in the reclining position? If not, are there any other models in our price range that would accommodate a 6'5 guy?
I will be disappointed if I have to end up buying the ugly Flexsteel for my otherwise beautiful family room but this is a chair for comfort. If we can find the right BY or H&M that fits him well, I will buy it in a heartbeat!
