Know before you buy
You do not need any extra space behind the chair. The Carolina features zero wall clearance, meaning it can be placed directly against a wall and still fully recline without hitting it.
Yes, you can purchase an optional lithium-ion battery pack. This allows you to operate the motorized reclining mechanism and the USB-C port wirelessly, giving you more flexibility with your room layout.
The adjustable headrest allows you to fine-tune your neck support while reclining. It is particularly useful for maintaining a comfortable viewing angle for reading or watching television while in a reclined position.
The Carolina uses high-density, high-resiliency foam that is CertiPUR-US certified. This provides a firmer, more supportive sit that is designed to maintain its shape and comfort over many years compared to standard, softer foams.
The motor and electronic components are covered by a 3-year warranty. The frame and the unidirectional suspension system are covered by a lifetime warranty, while the reclining mechanism is covered for 10 years.
The integrated in-arm control panel features a 2-amp USB-C charging port. While it is convenient for keeping your devices powered while you relax, it is designed for standard charging speeds rather than high-speed power delivery.
