Should I Buy My First Recliner?

I usually sit at my desk chair when at home, or my leather couch while watching TV. With stay-at-home, I'm going to be sitting most of the day at home and thought about getting a recliner so I can be on my computer and not have so much pressure on my hole and be bent over all day (sounds like a porno).

Should I get a recliner? Bean bag? Alternative?

Recliners are like a gateway drug. Please just say NO

Why? There are different styles besides the Overweight Frau model. I have a grey velvet one with curved wooden arms; it was a lifesaver for a few weeks when I was injured and could not easily get in and out of bed. Looks nice too.

“My First Recliner” -sippy cup holder and antimacasser not included.

It’s like the gay toaster, but every gay has to buy one for himself. Sorry in advance.

In all honesty, you should by a varidesk and stand most of the day. Flex your glutes

There are two ways to go. Ottoman... or hospital bed.

When you order a recliner from Wayfair or something, do you have to assemble it? Is it difficult?

I love mine. But then again, I'm a lesbian.

OP, get one, you can thank us later. Best piece of furniture you’ll ever buy. Spring for the electric version.

Do not, however, buy one by mail order unless you’ve sat in it and know the manufacturer and model number.

They all “seat” different and some can be quite uncomfortable. I loved all my recliners, yet every time I have to buy a new one sometimes you see one that looks great, sit in it and say “fuck! This is uncomfortable!”

R10, is it plaid?

R9, most recliners come in two pieces: the bottom and the back.

The back slides into grooves in the rear of the chair and you’re done.

Are your affairs in order, OP? I ask because I can think of no reason to make such a purchase beyond infirmity, "it came with the trailer," or very advanced years.

The Eames lounge chair with ottoman at R3 is fine if you like that sort of thing, but those horrible things with the levers and hidden mechanisms and antimacassars... Please no.

Your recliner is your last earthly stop on the way to Heaven.

R14, are you Frasier Crane?

What about an adjustable standing desk? Now that I see the Eames chair at R3, I fucking hate it. Sorry, R3. I think it's ugly.

We bought 2 electric home theatre recliners and they're fabulous. Modern looking as well. No shame here.

The electric ones are great. Tacky but comfortable.

I love mine. After 50 one needs a comfortable chair. My Lazyboy was worth every penny I paid. . I got an electric vibrating version and at the end of the it’s a comforter. Different ages need different luxuries.

Butt plug and vibrating recliner... divine
