Some people suffer from the misconception that reclining seats are unhealthy because they allow you to assume a bad seating position which is going to damage your back in the long term. This isn’t true though, as the most recent studies into healthy seating positions say that a 90 degree angle is actually unhealthy, and the ideal is actually 135 degrees; which reclining seats manage very well.
This of course ignores the most important aspect of reclining seats which is the comfort they provide. Reclining back can put you into an ideal position for an extended period of sitting down to watch a movie or a couple of television episodes. They are far more effective at doing this than other types of comfort chairs or sofas, and you can also find reclining comfort chairs which have additional features more easily. A reclining seat may come with the option of cup holders, massagers and more.
