    Default Where to Find a Recliner for a Tall Man, Long Legs

    Hello and thanks for this Forum. If this is not the appropriate area, feel free to move my question!

    I want to completely change all of my living room furniture. The key is finding a RECLINER that will fit my husband. He is not exceptionally tall (about 6 foot) but no matter what chair we try, his ankles and feet hang off the end and he hates that...Does anyone know of a decent-looking recliner that will accommodate a taller man?

    As far as I know, all recliners will do that, they're not designed to have the heel of your foot atop the footrest. They're designed to have the footrest support the leg right behind the ankle and its actually more comfortable that way as it keeps your knees from locking up. But if he does want one like that, he has a couple options:

    * Buy a tall man's recliner, built for men 6' 4" and up. They'll have longer footrests and he'll sit deeper in the chair. Here's one example of that:

    * Get a tilt back chair and ottoman instead of a recliner. This unit I think is just about the most comfortable chair on the planet:
