The Human Touch® Perfect Chair® PC-8500 is a sophisticated seating experience designed to transcend traditional comfort standards, blending aesthetics, technology, and ergonomics seamlessly. It offers a virtual weightlessness experience, cradling the body in unparalleled comfort, and goes beyond zero-gravity with its unique PC PRO mode. This extended range of recline and leg elevations is inspired by techniques used by chiropractors to alleviate soreness, tension, and fatigue. The chair incorporates clever memory functions and an intuitive control panel, meticulously designed to provide ultimate relaxation with the push of a button.
Function Description:
The PC-8500 is an electric recliner that allows users to adjust the backrest and footrest to various positions, including a zero-gravity position where the feet are elevated above the heart, promoting a neutral posture for back and spine relief. The chair features a "PRO" mode, which extends the recline and leg elevation beyond the standard zero-gravity position, mimicking positions used in chiropractic practices for enhanced back pain relief. Users can save two custom preferred positions using the memory buttons. The chair also includes a battery backup system to ensure the chair can be returned to an upright position in case of a power failure.
