I recently purchased a bio mat and wanted to be able to sit or lay down on the mat in my home office. I love how the chair has so many options for sitting or laying down. The back moves to 3 postions and the lounger pullout is very easy to pull out/in. Serta has made a high quality product. My only change would be to have a slightly higher back. Very heavy base. You will need two people to move it. I've slept on it and it is firm but I like a firm base to sleep on. It is not a chair you will sink into. I wasn't looking for soft.
