ABSTRACT:
A chaise lounge recliner chair which incorporates an intermediate leg support member for providing support to the thighs and areas behind the knees of the legs of an occupant of the chair. The intermediate leg support member is connected to a portion of the seat of the recliner chair and a portion of the leg rest member of the chair. When the leg rest member is in an extended position the intermediate leg support member provides a normal slightly convex support surface. As the seat back of the chair is reclined, it causes the seat member to be extended outwardly which causes the intermediate leg support member to assume a pronounced convex surface. A plurality of elastic straps are further included and disposed between the seat and leg rest members to prevent the intermediate leg rest member from crowning downwardly relative to the chair frame when the leg rest member is in its extended position.
