A few years ago I would have agreed but now I need the arms to make it easier to get up out of the chair and also into it


You know what Gerry, you've now got me thinking about future proofing my chair by getting arms isn't growing old fun!

I was in the same boat, I really didn't fancy arms on a chair. To me they always look a bit more camper than fisher, and thought they would be awkward. But bit the bullet and bought the C tech low a couple of weeks ago. Having used it 3 or 4 times it really is as good as people are saying and I've found the arms don't get in the way at all.

Is the Solar Sofa Chair (extended legs) as high off the ground as the recliner chair? I'm 6ft 1 so don't wanna be slouched..... cannot find the measurements on the Solar website?

I don't think you'll be slouching mate, I'm just over 6' and it's fine for me. I did just get the chair out and there isn't much adjustment in the front legs, unless I've done something wrong about 10cm, that takes the front to 37cn H, under the knee.

I've got the SP C-Tech chair like some others on this thread. I also recently bought the sofa chair which is not worth the £165 price tag. In fact, I don't find it comfy at all. After a short period of time it starts hurting my hips with the pressure. It's the way it's designed by hugging you into the seat. In theory it should be mega comfy but I think it's a waste of money. It's compact and lighter than the C-Tech which is why I bought it. It's lower to the ground so not great if you're a taller guy. I have noticed the difference getting up out of the sofa chair compared to the high recliner C-Tech. I'll be selling the sofa chair when I get chance to take photos to list it.

The SP C-Tech is comfy BUT it's not the best on the market. Don't get me wrong, I do rate it. Although my pal has the Fox R- series (I think it's called), cost £240 but it's noticeably more comfortable. It is twice the price of my SP C-Tech but it's mega. I never want to get out of his chair when I sit in it.

I realised your definition of slouching may be for different reasons, so, if it's because you want your head on the back of the chair then YES you will need to slouch. As I said before I'm a little over 6' and me head is virtually completely above the chair so it wouldn't be for me. I've been looking for ages for a chair where it isn't and one of the few seems to be the Fox already mentioned, not sure if that's the same one as the other 1 they do with a extension on the top. I've yet to see one in the flesh and at that price I'm not buying blind.

Gents are talking about the Solar SP Recliner Chair MKII ?, some retailers advertise as MKII some do not, presumably they are one and the same ? Prices seem to be dropping especially on the low back version so was wondering if Solar are about to launch a new version bit like what they did with the SP C- Tech bed chair. Thanks.
Are you sure?
