take a seat

Using your Human Touch Perfect Chair is easy. Just take a seat and

adjust the chair to the desired position. The Perfect Chair cradles you in zero-gravity comfort, with your feet above your heart—the ultimate neutral-posture position for back and spine relief.

Adjust the recline angle

To recline, gently pull up on the recline lever, lean back on the backrest to adjust it to the desired angle, then release the lever. To incline to a more upright position, gently pull up on the recline lever, then pull up on the armrests with your hands while applying slight downward pressure with your elbows, until the backrest inclines to the desired position. Release the recline lever.

NOTE: Lean back against the backrest before reclining the chair.

Adjust the headrest

While seated, reach up with both hands and grasp both sides of the headrest. You will feel the rigid frame beneath the soft head pad. Grasping the rigid frame, tilt the headrest forward or backward for maximum comfort. The headrest remains in this position until you adjust it again.

Gently pull up on the recline lever, pull up on the armrests with your hands while applying slight downward pressure with your elbows, until the backrest inclines to a full upright position. Release the recline lever. Use the arms for support when getting up from the chair.
