Reminds me of Martin's beloved chair on Frasier. ;~) The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Those chairs are often advertised as sleeping chairs. I suppose they're for people who find it difficult to move from a chair to a bed, or people whose mobility is limited so sleeping in a bed is not an option because they wouldn't be able to get up. My mom has one to help her stand if she needs help. So far she doesn't seem to need help standing from that particular chair. ~Sue~ |

A chair? Concrete and steel. Signed "Jonas Bohlin". Designed in 1980 and presented at Bohlin's graduation show at Konstfack. https://www.bukowskis.com/en/auctions/558/24-jonas-bohlin-karmstol-concrete-kallemo-ab-varnamo?from_language=sv |

Neither one of those last two chairs posted look very comfortable. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I'm eventually going to get one of these Lane chairs, it has a500lb weight rating, the cost is about $556 currently. This is to replace part of My 24yr old broken sofa/recliner, I'd have to get a loveseat and ottoman for anyone else. The 53.5" wide loveseat. It was not easy to find 3 in a similar color. The ottoman, which in this case can be used as storage which is very lacking here. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

This looks quite scary. It reminds me of one of those boxes you put your penny in and a great big hand comes out and takes your penny and then swallows you up. eek :( |

This looks quite scary. LOL The recliner looks quite safe and comfy, however. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

For some odd reason we here in Scandinavia love to design chairs. Bruno Mathsson was a designer for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Mathsson And many more designers. https://www.google.se/search?q=chair+design+sweden |

I like folding chairs. Interesting. None of those permutations look every comfortable, but it's a handy little thing. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

@moomin I can almost imagine the two being able to walk around. |

This looks quite scary. Not to mention strong, that recliner can support 500 lbs of weight, though that comes with a price. Maybe one day soon. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

(Just to add... I am anti-death penatly \ state murder.) I am, as well. Unfortunately it still happens in some states. But no one uses the electric chair anymore. ~Sue~ |

@moomin My body is like a memory pillow, if I layed down on that for more than 5 mins that would be how I would walk afterwards.. lol |
