Manual Wallhugger
These mechanisms are more sophisticated than the 'push on the arms' type and are operated by your body weight after being released by means of a large exterior handle, an inside lever or an outside cable release. The mechanism sits on the floor and acts as the base for the chair. These types of mechanisms are sometimes referred to as 'Gravity Operated' recliners.
When the mechanism is released, the entire chair including arms, seat and back move forward in unison to the TV position. This movement allows the chair to be placed close to a wall before operation, hence the name 'wallhugger'. With further shoulder pressure the chair will move into the Full Recline position without touching the wall.
The wallhugger is available in several seat widths and can also be incorporated into two and three seater sofas.
