Know before you buy
A wall hugger design allows the chair to recline while positioned very close to a wall. Unlike traditional recliners that require significant clearance behind them, this model shifts forward as it reclines, making it ideal for smaller rooms or tighter floor plans.
The two-motor system allows you to adjust the backrest and the footrest independently of one another. This gives you much more control over your posture, letting you find the perfect angle for reading, watching TV, or fully reclining.
The Gilmore features semi-attached, fiber-filled back cushions designed with internal channels to prevent the filling from shifting or clumping. This construction helps the chair maintain its loft and support even with frequent daily use.
The seat is built with a high-resiliency, high-density foam core wrapped in polyester for a balance of firmness and comfort. It is supported by heavy-gauge sinuous springs, which provide a durable, responsive foundation that resists sagging.
Yes, the base is equipped with integrated, hidden plastic glides. These allow you to slide the chair across most floor surfaces with minimal effort without damaging your flooring.
Beyond the standard power recline, this model is available with optional rocking, swivel, or lift functions. You can choose the configuration that best fits your specific mobility needs or comfort preferences.
