A power headrest sounds nice. So does a lift mechanism, leg elevation, heat, massage, and five different ways to adjust your position. But when you're deciding whether a recliner is right for you, you want to know a whole lot more than special features.
You want to know how it actually works. Does the massage really reach the spots where your aches set in? If you find a perfect comfortable position, can the chair remember it? The chair says it reclines, but how far back does it really go?
Journey's Perfect Sleep Chair & Lift Chair is designed to make rest and relaxation easier. But before you buy, you want to be sure that the features it provides—multiple reclining and sleeping positions, a lift mechanism, heat, and massage, to name a few—align well with the way you like to relax.
Check out these signs that the Perfect Sleep Chair is the one you've been looking for.

You Readjust Your Position Constantly
Legs up. Head higher. Now your lower back needs support. Wait, you'd rather lie flat. If sitting in a recliner is an exercise in constant fiddling and readjusting, the Perfect Sleep Chair might be the ideal solution.
The chair lets you control the backrest and footrest separately and can move from upright sitting through a range of reclined positions to a flat configuration. The 5-Zone model allows you to independently change the headrest, lumbar support, and angle of the entire seat. The best part? You can store and save your favorite positions, so you can recall the just-right angle next time with the push of a button.
You Sleep Better With Your Head Elevated
If you're living with a lung condition like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or a sleep-related breathing disorder like sleep apnea, your doctor may have advised you that it's easier to rest with your head elevated.
Sleeping more upright or avoiding a flat-on-the-back position can reduce symptoms for some respiratory or pulmonary conditions (although not a substitute for prescribed treatments). What angle feels best? The Perfect Sleep Chair lets you lower your upper body gradually from sitting to reclining, so you can find the position that is most comfortable rather than relying on a stack of pillows to keep yourself propped up.
You Get Heartburn
If reflux is a recurring problem, the Perfect Sleep Chair offers a solution. The American College of Gastroenterology recommends raising the head of the bed for people with acid reflux, also called GERD, since gravity can help reduce reflux while you rest.
The Perfect Sleep Chair gives you a powered way to mechanically change your upper-body angle while keeping the rest of your body supported. Because the backrest can be adjusted independently, you aren't locked into a single steep sitting position—you can experiment with a gentler incline.
Your Legs Swell During the Day
Have you ever taken off your shoes at night and discovered your ankles have puffed up to the size of volleyballs? Or found it uncomfortable to walk at the end of the day because the swelling in your legs puts so much pressure on your knees?
Whether you have a medical condition like chronic venous insufficiency, or your blood circulation just isn't as good as it once was, leg elevation is one of the simplest ways to combat edema, or fluid-related swelling.
The Perfect Sleep Chair has a powered footrest that can be raised independently from the backrest. That way, you can elevate your legs while staying relatively upright or combine leg elevation with a deeper recline.
Always check with your healthcare provider, since leg swelling can have many causes. But if you've been piling pillows onto your ottoman to try and find relief, this chair could be the answer to your leg-swelling concerns.
Standing Up From the Couch Has Become a Project
Maybe you rock back and forth a few times before you can stand. Or maybe you grab on to the edge of the table or push hard through the armrest to stand. Whatever your workaround, there's no denying that getting in and out of your seat is harder than it used to be.
That is exactly the everyday problem a power lift mechanism is designed to address.
The Perfect Sleep Chair lifts the entire seat and gently angles it forward. When you're ready to stand, you can continue raising the chair until you reach a height where you can comfortably transfer your weight onto your feet. When sitting down, the process works in reverse so you don't have to lower yourself as far.
You've Got Back Pain
Join the club! Like most folks with back pain, you've probably tried any number of "comfortable" chairs to try and find relief when sitting for extended periods of time. The challenge: Back pain is less about soft cushioning and more about being able to put support exactly where your body wants it.
The 5-Zone Perfect Sleep Chair includes powered lumbar support that can move outward or inward independently of the rest of your chair adjustments. It also has a powered headrest that can move forward or back, easing pressure on parts of your back that hurt.
If you're constantly adding a throw pillow behind your lower back, removing it, folding it in half, and putting it back again, powered lumbar adjustment may be one of those features you don't realize you want until you have it.
Your Chair Is Your Command Center
For some people, a recliner is an occasional destination. For others, it is home base. You read there. Watch television there. Talk on the phone there. Nap there.
When you spend long stretches in one chair, being able to customize your sitting position is important. The Perfect Sleep Chair adapts as your activity changes. It lets you move from upright sitting for reading, to relaxing with your legs elevated as you watch TV, then provides deeper reclining and zero-gravity-style positioning while you chat on the phone with your family.
Sitting in one position is fine in limited doses, but if you run your world from your living room chair, make sure it's one that adapts to your needs.
You've Been Known to Fall Asleep While Reading
If you routinely wake up at midnight still sitting in your living-room recliner with your book across your lap, you know what a hassle it is to get up and take yourself to bed when you're perfectly comfortable where you are.
What if you didn't have to? What if your chair could easily convert into a fully reclined bed? The Perfect Sleep Chair is specifically designed to bridge the gap between a recliner and a sleep surface. It moves into a flat configuration and extends to 78 inches when fully reclined, so you don't have to choose between the supportive seated position you enjoy reading in during the evening and shuffling off to the bedroom when it's time to lie down. Just adjust the chair for your needs.
You've Got Sore Muscles and Joints
If you're living with arthritis, struggling with your weight, or simply feeling the aches that arrive with age, you probably could benefit from a little heat therapy and massage. Forget about the ungainly heating pads and those little balls at the end of a long stick that you roll on your back. The Perfect Sleep Chair has you covered—it incorporates targeted lower-back heat and zoned vibration massage into the chair, so you can pamper your muscles while you relax at home.
Is the Perfect Sleep Chair Right for You?
We're biased, of course, but it's hard to see who the Perfect Sleep Chair is NOT a good fit for. With two different models (the 2-Zone provides full lift, recline, leg-elevation, heat, massage, and sleep functions; the 5-Zone offers additional positioning for your head, lower back, hips, and legs), odds are that one of these chairs answers your most pressing needs.
If you're currently propping some part of your body up to sleep better, this chair does it for you. If you treat yourself to massages or take the time to do self-massage at home, the chair also does that. If standing up from your seat or bed is becoming difficult, the lift mechanism has you covered. In short, the Perfect Sleep Chair is designed with features to solve the problems many people experience as they age.
