Recliner

[Foiled Again]

Anyone know what brand of recliner Airstream is now using in it's trailers? I like the look of the ones in the 30 International
(See ColonialAirstream.com) - but I've been unable to locate anything under $2500 with the small footprint and self contained footrest of these.

So, where can I find them without going through Airstream?

It's wierd, I can't find it anywhere.

That is nice, Paula. Hope you find it and share with us.

The Lane recliner I bought for my Excella at Dillard's has been a disappointment. The vinyl trim on the fronts of the armrests is peeling away showing white cloth backing. Not a good look at all. The problems are all on the armrests, but still a major annoyance for a leather set less than five years old.

Lazy-Boy. not inexpensive but very well made, and they have a bunch of sizes available. The Lanes and Flex-steels we have had were a disappointment. The upholstery held up ok but the mechanism went south on both in short order. I finally got tired of repairing the last Flex-steel and set it on the curb for the land fill.

Not the same. Not far off though. Not inexpensive either ...

Here's something very similar, though not polar white. Lots cheaper, though...:

Paula,

We have had a Benchmaster (Ventura Model) in our Airstream for two plus years. It has worn well in approximately 140 days of camping.....not to mention the times I just go out to the Airstream and sit down for a quiet break. Two other Airstream friends have also purchased the same chair, and are happy with them.

I have an EKorne Stressless Recliner in my home living room. After less than five years of use, color is wearing off in spots, and the padding is compressed to the point that there is no more lower back support. This is not what one would expect from a product that cost $2,300 (with discount).

I could have bought four of the Benchmaster Recliners during the past five years for the price that I paid for the Stressless.......and, the comfort level would have been about the same.

I also purchased the riser (utilizing it to anchor the chair to the floor of the Airstream).

I guess you looked at the Stressless Human Touch - has the integrated footrest but its price isn't Stressless...

As I understand it, Flex Steel will not sell to individuals, only thru approved area vendors.
