Is this a true zero gravity chair where you can have your feet higher than your heart? Does it go back far enough to do that? Thanks

Christian, to clarify... if you are laying flat, your feet will not be higher than your heart, but if you bring your ankle up on the opposite knee or put your hands up to the top of the chair, you will be. I use this method (with the knee) if I want to rock in the chair laying down.

That is possible by weight distribution. You have to move some weight to your upper body like putting your hands over your head instead of at your side. Your legs then go higher than your heart. The back stops prevent you from toppling backwards.I have never had a more comfortable chair.

Yes it will do exactly that. I just got out of mine - you can go back until the stops which is higher than your heart.

Yes, you can go back far enough so your feet are higher than your heart. Notice the stops on the legs. That prevents you from falling completely backwards. This is the most relaxing chair we've ever owned. You will not be disappointed.

Christian, when I lay flat with my head on the 'pillow', my feet will not be higher than my heart. If I position my arms over/behind my head, then I can get close to the 'zero gravity' position. However, this is not a comfortable position for me. I can rock to that position, but only momentarily. I think it's more a function of body shape. I'm tall and thin, and I think that's why I can't get to that position. I will try the 'ankle on the knee' method (mentioned below), however, that doesn't seem like a comfortable position either. I think this is a very comfortable chair to lay in, as long as I don't have to struggle to get into a 'zero gravity' position.

No, feet are not higher than your heart when reclining.You can rock the chair and momentarily be in zero gravity.

it's high enough for you, but beware of the wooden cylindrical piece at the back between the chair support plate and the bottom support plate (next to the back bolt) mine broke the first day

No, this thing is quite tall, at least 10 inches. I could not put a chair next to it and use the back to hang onto. I sent mine back because of this safety issue.

Hi, I own one of these. It is very sturdy and well built. It has 2 or 3 stops which limit how much it can tilt back based on your preference. It can go very vertical. The nice thing is that you control how quickly you tilt backwards and when you come back/right yourself it turns into a seat so it doesn't injure your back. Hope this helps.

Yes. I am tall and have the legs fully extended to have the chair at its highest setting. I am measuring just over 18" from leg post to leg post. I have been very pleased with this chair. I had total knee replacement so it is not a permanent fixture for me, but it has certainly worked perfectly when needed.

I purchased this for my mom and it is a transport chair. If u cannot put weight on your foot, I don't think you can push the chair forward.

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

It might be but I love this chair. I am 6' and 220lbs. It's perfect except it won't go back horizontal like my previous chair. It goes enough though but not feet up to waist/heart level.

Yes, it goes way back so that your feet are above your heart. The only problem I have is that it doesn't lock into place in any other position....

The seat depth is adjustable as Santhosh has described; however, the minimum seat depth is still quite deep. I am 5'2" and even with the lowest seat height and minimum seat depth my feet still dangle about an inch above the ground. This chair is not comfortable for me.

I am not sure. Best to check with manufacturer. It is chair height so a person does not experience the strain on back and legs to lower the body or rise again after use.

I am also built close to the ground. App. 4'11"". My feet touch the ground. I really enjoy my chair. I have taken many a nap in it. I am 73 yrs. young. Very comfortable rocker. Hope this is helpful.

My wife is 5' even. She can place both feet flat on the ground when chair is lowered. Although her back is firmly against the back of the chair she said she didn't know if she could sit like that all day (what ever that means lol)

Yes, I am 5' 10" and my chair just barely goes as low as I'd like. First there is a lever that raises and lowers the seat. Second, how low it goes depends in part on weight, as the spring is keeping it at a certain height. I have the spring set to maximum compressibility, so the chair goes as low as possible under my weight, which gets me just to the 90 degree angle.

It only goes as far forward as you see in the picture. It a just to hight. I just did a back piece and it worked perfectly and it's comfortable

I am the same height as you are, and my feet touch the ground with no problem. This is a great chair for the money!

No. It is very difficult to get on this chair float and I find it very disappointing - so much so I don't use it. It is nowhere near as good as others I have owned.
