Hi guys, Looking to buy new recliners for the FW. I like the look of these. Does anyone have experience with them? Are they comfortable. Hard to buy something you can't even try out. Please chime in.

I'd sure want to sit in them first. But, I prefer cloth anyway.

Yes, you have to sit in a recliner first to know if it fits. Our MH came with Flex Steel recliners in it. Nice looking recliners but they're too short for me. My head falls off the back and the leg support is too short. I'm 6' 2" so I'm a little taller than normal, but a 5' 10" person might have problems with them also.The Camping World brochure came out with an add for a mattress from Denver Mattress Co (I think that's who it was) that looked good. We tried several CWs over a couple of months so we could look at and feel one. While all of the stores could order one, none of then stocked it. They didn't make a sale to us.They aren't going to sell many of these type items unless people can actually see and touch them first. Bill

Measure available space, with slides in, then go looking in a big box furniture store. Part of the problem may be getting them in the door so check on removal of the chair back.

Exactly why I need to sit in the chair. My butt is wider than most. I have to shop in big and tall for shirts. Not for pants. Yet! Lol! So, sitting in the chair is monumental. The weight of the chair is no problem. But the width is. I have to stay less than 34" to close my slides. Right now we've checked out La-Z-Boy chairs. Saw a few that might work but the seat on the chairs are 18.5". Really? 18.5". I'm a man, not a boy! So that being said, I have a La-Z-Boy store a mile from my house so a visit will be made in early August.Btw, I tried to speak with CW customer service. Just to sit in the chair to try it out, I have to have them shipped to the house. Shipping 95.00/chair. Too much for a test drive.

We canned our sofa/bed and purchased a La z-boy love seat dual recliner that fit perfectly in the slide...one of the best purchases I've made in an up grade to our 5er. Very comfortable, very durable and easy to get into the 5er by removing the back of the recliner....May want to look at that aspect of putting certain sofa's and recliners into the 5er....that there is enough room to get it into the 5er
