HT Recliners with movable armrests

Vincent Kennedy · 10-09-07, 10:18 AM

Does anyone know of a brand of HT recliners that have armrests that move? I would like to be able to have the armrests for large movie nights or sporting events, but would like to flip the armrests up for nights when it is just me and the wife or to lay horizontally across 3 recliners.

Fortress has sofas with retractable arms and removable arms. Can't tell from the pics if the seats recline though.

According to their site they have some that recline with retractable/removable arms.

Anybody know about Fortress HT Chairs? Anyone have some? Anyone know of anyplace in the NOVA area where I can test/see some of these chairs?

Vincent,

that is correct, Fortress allows for custom options such as this, retractable arms are indeed available. The only other product i can think of off hand that would be more mainstream would be the Berkline 083 sofa. You might look at this option as well.

eskay! You rock!

You have no idea how long I have searched for what they call the "Matinee". I ran across a photo of it a couple years ago but never found the manufacturer. I doubt that I can afford it but it's exactly what I would like some day. Check it out. When you're tired of sitting upright or reclined, you can fold the armrests up and lay out like on a regular sofa.

Thanks!

Are these pricey compared to Berklines?
