Nice design but uncomfortable
After searching for a recliner that would fit me I thought I finally found it in the Nerton Leather Zero Gravity recliner. It is designed supposedly for people up to 7 feet tall and up to 450 pounds. I am 6'4" and 240 lbs so well under the max. At first it felt great. However, as you can see in the picture, the seat cushion compresses way down and forces your back to sink low against the backrest. This causes the lumbar support to hit me at my rib cage, just below my shoulders, when I recline. There is a hard bar that hits your back. On the plus side, we found Macy's to be helpful and the buying and return experience pleasant. The leather seems to be good quality and the design is cool. It is very spacious, so you can accommodate two kids if you want to. The leg extension is the longest I've seen on any recliner and that part is comfortable. I really wanted to love this chair, but alas, time to keep looking.
One big flaw
Love the color, the leather, the size, the extended foot rest. The big flaw is the seat spring. I am 5'11 and 220 lbs. Half the weight it is rated for. When I sit down, the springs sink and a 4" gap opens up between the top of the seat and the bottom of the chair back. This means the always there lumbar cushion is too far up. My husband also needs a chair, he is 6'6", 270 lbs, and the lumbar cushion hits him wrong too, upon sinking. We both wanted to love it so much! But will have to return for a hefty return fee. But at least we will get some of our money back. We are sad. :(. I have added a pboto of my hubby just pushing on the back, and you can see the gap. It is even bigger when a body is on the chair.
