Know before you buy
The Chesapeake features a manual recline mechanism activated by a discreet handle located on the inside of the arm. This allows you to easily adjust the chair into your preferred position without needing an electrical power source.
The chaise styling means the footrest and seat are connected as one continuous piece. This design eliminates the gap between the seat and the leg rest, providing full, uninterrupted support for your legs when the chair is reclined.
With an overall width of 30 inches, the Chesapeake is relatively compact compared to many overstuffed recliners. Its angular track arms also help maintain a smaller footprint, making it a practical choice for apartments or tighter seating arrangements.
The premium elastic webbing used in the seat and back provides a consistent, flexible foundation that contours to your body. Unlike traditional springs, this suspension system offers a more uniform feel and helps the cushions maintain their shape over time.
Yes, the Chesapeake model is versatile and can be ordered with a rocker, swivel glider, or wall hugger mechanism depending on your specific needs. Be sure to select the version that best fits your room layout and desired movement.
Because the cushions are tight and engineered with multiple foam densities, they are designed to resist sagging and maintain their structure without constant fluffing. Simply vacuuming the crevices occasionally and wiping down the upholstery according to the material-specific care instructions is sufficient.
