See full text

A wall-proximity reclining seating unit includes: a frame having a back member and a pair of arms, the back member extending between the arms; a backrest; a seat; a first footrest; and a reclining mechanism connected between the frame, backrest, seat, and first footrest. The reclining mechanism comprises a series of pivotally interconnected links and is configured to move the seating unit between: (a) an upright position, (b) a TV position, in which the first footrest is extended in front of the seat and is generally horizontally disposed, and the seat and backrest are moved forwardly relative to the frame; and (c) a fully reclined position, in which the first footrest remains extended in front of the seat, and the seat is moved forward of its position in the TV position. The seating unit also includes a headrest mechanism attached to the headrest and the backrest, the headrest mechanism configured to move the headrest between a retracted position, in which the headrest is generally horizontally disposed and overlies the backrest and the back member, and an extended position, in which the headrest is generally upright and generally parallel with the backrest.
