Hello folks- I'm new here!
When young there were many bed chairs. Usually wooden arms and frame. Quite a long seat and average back. An extension could be pulled from under the seat thus extending it to receive one of the two cushions of the seat. Back could be lowered in stages until flat and horizontal throughout.
Then one could lie down and sleep. The cushions in those days were flock or Dunlopillo latex as plastic foam was not invented. As a private nurse on nights in the 50s I often used one - while my patient was sleeping, of course
.
I now have 3 different recliners. In the bottom-up posi none supports my heels. I do not think any do unless a midget. Fully reclined does not make a horizontal bed.
Often I nod off in front of the TV night-time; but by the time I arise and go abed I'm fully awake and it takes a long time to sleep.
I've searched on the web but can find nothing appropriate. Anybody know a DIY design so one could be constructed? Or perhaps everybody finds the recliners perfectly adequate?
