The Benji swivel glider is a perfect small scale chair for those corners where you need a little something extra. The swivel base makes them perfect for open concept spaces where you want to focus on different spots at different times. Best of all – made in Canada!

BACK REST

• All the backs of our reclining furniture are removable for better mobility.

FILLING

• 100% new polyester fibre.
• Curled fibre for a better resiliency, so it retains its shape longer (6 ripples per inch).
• Silicone treated to avoid fibres bunching up together.
• Fibre is empty like a straw to allow air to flow through for more abundance.
• No recycled fibre is used because resiliency is not as good.

FRAME

• Superior construction grade spruce plywood which is dried better and doesn’t warp or crack.
• We combine materials and make choices according to the application to ensure strength and durability of the furniture. The wood pieces systematically interlock during the assembly process which creates a strong, reinforced structure.
• In the areas of the frame that need to withstand more pressure, we use TimberStrand®. It’s an engineered wood currently used to make “H” beams in houses because of its strength. Doesn’t change with variations in humidity and temperature.
• Our frames have a “L” shaped piece that joints the back of the arm to the seat. This piece stops the pivot point on that joint and reinforces the frame.

HANDLE

• Direct drive action.
• Equal weight distribution, because both sides of the mechanism work simultaneously.
• The other advantage of the external handle is the assistance to close the footrest.
• External versus internal handle = only a question of design.
• Introduction of a new internal handle: Easier to use and more resistant.

MECHANISM

• Leggett & Platt is the world leader in this 6 billion $ industry. We work in co-development with them.
• Exclusivity on the design of the mechanism.
• The constant evolution of the design of the mechanism to enhance performance, fluidity and function.
• Manufactured in the United States, we invest a little more money to get a thicker grade of metal, therefore a better quality and durability for our mechanism.
• The usage of self-tapping screws reduces the risk of loose connections because they actually bite into the metal.
• Adjustable legs on rocking chairs.
• Swivel bases available on most rocking chairs.

SEAT FOAM

• High quality foam (Density = 2.05 lb/ft³). The competition uses foams that vary from 1.5 to 1.9 lb/ft³.
• The compression of the foam is the equivalent of flexibility and comfort (33-38 lb/in²) average 36 lb/in².
• Our foam is pre-crushed which allows it to have better comfort upon reception of the furniture.
• We use high quality No Sag springs with a metal rod linking all of them for better weight distribution.
• Felt is installed between the springs and the foam to lengthen their life expectancy.

SWIVEL BASE

• Swivel base available on most of our rocker recliners at a minimal cost.
• Easy to install.
• The swivel base allows the chair to rotate 360 degrees or 160 degrees for our motorized recliners.
