There's about 2.5" of "memory foam cushion" in the seat, which, on me, sort of "hit bottom and got very uncomfortable" after about 15 minutes of sitting in the upright position or getting a chair from the free standing dining table to use as a foot rest.....
Do some very serious thinking before buying a 52" recliner for anyone even close to 6' tall !!!!!
We finally "bit the bullet" and ordered RecPro's rocker/recliners last year. After spending 4 months living in the fifth wheel, they're almost as comfortable as our $1500 recliners at home. ALMOST, meaning I still prefer the larger recliner at home, but in the trailer, my head fits on the headrest and only my ankles and feet hang over the footrest. I'm 6'2" tall. Plus, after sitting in the chairs for an entire movie, they still have "some butt cushion remaining" with no hot spots and no "burn from sitting on the base"...
