Your call
Pick the Golden Cloud PR-510 if…
  • Your parent dozes in the chair every afternoon and likes the feet up high
  • You want zero gravity from a brand with a lifetime frame warranty
  • The user is tall: the Medium/Large covers 5'7" to 6'4"

The catch: It is big and soft. At 38 inches wide and 45 inches tall it fills a corner, and the overstuffed back is a matter of taste. Labor is covered for one year only, both mechanical and electrical, which is shorter than the MaxiComforter's 3 years of mechanical labor.

Your call
Pick the Journey Sleep Chair 2-Zone if…
  • The user sleeps in a recliner most nights
  • You want heat and massage without paying for options
  • Your room can take a chair that stretches to 78 inches

The catch: SteadyHome does not take returns for change of mind: residential deliveries are covered by the warranty instead. The manual-backed warranty is 3 years on frame, mechanisms and electrical parts, with 1 year of labor, shorter than Golden's lifetime frame cover. And plan for 30.5 inches of clearance behind it.
