The Thanko Legless Recliner will certainly raise a few eyebrows among the more traditionalist Japanese (or Westerners who think like them). But it shouldn't: there's no rule that says that a culture that uses the floor for sitting or even sleeping should be deprived of the comfort of a recliner! And this is what it is: a lounger that instead of legs has a low base that only elevates its seat about 15 cm (5.9") from the floor – just like traditional zaisu floor chairs you find in classical Japanese rooms laid with tatami mats!
Other than that, the Thanko Legless Recliner has everything you'd want in a lounge chair. Its back reclines in 22 steps going to a full horizontal position, so you can make it into a bed just by pulling its lever. The recliner comes with a head support pillow and a waist support pillow, and has a flexible arm that can hold your smartphone, tablet, or mobile display. And for extra levels of comfort, it also features a drink holder and headphone hook so you can have everything you want at easy reach!
