Very comfortable chair. The heat function is just enough for an achey back. Massage function(vibration) has different configurations to keep anyone happy. The lifting function works great and makes getting out of the chair very easy.  The material is soft and seems durable. It seems very well made. It is a bit of a hassle to put together... You need patience and persistence. It's a big recliner and needs a lot of room behind it to fully extend. Very happy with this purchase!
