The “Big Sky” recliner is for a person of stature… BIG STATURE. The seat is 4″ wider and 3″ deeper to accommodate a larger person. The footrest extends another 4″ to give more support to the legs and feet. Also, instead of 4 springs on the seat, there are six… this adds to the comfort and the longevity. The frame in strategic places is double thickness to add years of life to the product. The Morse Code velvet is constructed of the finest blend of yarns to give wear and softness to the hand.
