ABSTRACT:
A recliner has a layer of upholstery fixed to the seat and extending continuously and fixed to a footrest frame which is moveable to a retracted position below the front end of the seat with the upholstery extending about and vertically below the front end of the seat. The footrest frame may include one or two ottoman boards mounted to a footrest linkage which will cause an ottoman board to pull the upholstery layer taut. In one embodiment, a pair of locking links are mounted to the footrest linkage and connected to each other for releaseably holding the footrest linkage in retracted position. In another embodiment where two ottoman boards are used, two pairs of conventional four bar linkages may be incorporated in the footrest linkage without sacrificing the desired contour of the upholstery.
