Select Back Height

High-Back models are our most popular, and fit people in a wide range of sizes. Medium-Back models are intended for people who prefer sitting without head and neck support, though short people may get such support. Extra-High-Back models are intended for taller people.

Taller people should use the following guidelines for selecting an Extra-High Back chair or rocker:
  • You should be 6'1" or taller. People who are shorter but with longer torsos may still want extra height.
  • If you are buying a FlipFlop or Ultra recliner, you will benefit from full head support in the reclined position. We recommend people 5’10” or taller select a recliner with an Extra-High Back.

Note: High- and Extra-High-Back models include a headrest.

• We offer double extra-high backs (36”) for very large people.

Select Seat Height

Seat height is dependent on back posture, as follows:

• Standard seat height for Comfort Chairs, Comfort Rockers and Upright Rockers is 15". Recliners are available with 15” seat height only.

• Standard seat height for Upright Chairs is 17". People 5’5” to 5’9” may select 16”, while people under 5'5" should select 15" seat height.

• People under 5’0” often select the Extra-Short chair or rocker, which combines a 14” seat height with a 17” seat depth.

Select Seat Depth

Standard seat depth for all chairs, rockers and recliners is 19". Short and tall people should customize the seat depth based on back posture:

• Comfort models: Tall people (>6'1"), or those with long legs, may prefer a deep seat (21").

• Upright models: Shorter people (<5'5"), or those with short legs, should select a short seat (18"). People under 5’0” can select the extra-short chair, which combines a 17” seat depth with a 14” seat height.

• No matter what your size, seat depth should not exceed measurement A in the diagram. This is more important if you sit in an Upright chair or rocker, and less critical with Comfort models.

• We offer extra deep seats (23”) for very long-legged people.
