What does zero gravity mean on this recliner?

The power mechanism tilts the back and raises the legs so your knees sit near or above heart level. That position spreads body weight along the chair instead of loading the lower back.

Does it need to be plugged in?

Yes. It is a power recliner, so it needs a nearby outlet, and you should plan for the cable run from the base.

How does it compare with a manual recliner?

You adjust it with a motor instead of pushing back with your body, which is easier on the arms and back. In return there is more to go wrong, and it cannot be used in a power cut.

The upholstery is leather in an ecru beige tone. Treat it with a leather conditioner and keep it out of direct sun to slow cracking and fading.

How much space does it need behind it?

A recliner of this type needs clearance behind the backrest to fully recline. Measure the wall gap before placing it.

It suits people who want a supportive, fully reclined lounge position for long sessions, especially those with back or circulation complaints. Casual sitters may find a simpler recliner enough.
