Standard shipping is curbside: it ships by freight to the 48 contiguous states, and the freight company delivers to a carport or first-floor entryway. From there, plan on two or more people to move the box inside, and measure every doorway, hallway turn and stair landing on the way to the room, not just the room itself. Assembly is required and can take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the chair. Many product pages also list In-Home Delivery (inside your home, no stairs, just inside the doorway) and In-Home Delivery and Assembly; check the product page for the options and cost for your model. Once it's in place, leave the listed wall gap so the backrest can recline fully and leave room in front for the leg rest to extend. Check the owner's manual for power and outlet guidance before you plug it in. Try several programs in the first days so you can raise any fit questions early. If you return a chair, a return fee applies.
Ownership: warranty and care
- Svago ZGR: the listed warranty is 2 Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is synthetic leather; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
- Svago Newton: the listed warranty is 2 Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is top grain leather; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
- Human Touch Perfect Chair PC-420 Classic Plus - Comfort: the listed warranty is 7 Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is leather; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
Read the warranty terms on the product page so you know what's covered and for how long. Keep the chair out of direct sun and away from heaters to protect the upholstery, and clean it the way the manual describes. If a pad is removable, take it off now and then to check for wear. Keep the remote and any power cords where they won't be stepped on or pinched by the recline.
Honest trade-offs
- Svago recliners: easier to move and generally lower priced. Their massage is vibration or air rather than rollers, so treat them as recliners first.
- Human Touch Perfect Chair: a zero gravity recliner built around recline positioning. The PC-420 Classic Plus Comfort lists a 7 Year Limited Warranty and a 9" wall gap, and lumbar heat is an optional upgrade.
- Either brand: neither replaces a full roller massage chair. If you want kneading or shiatsu, budget for a massage chair instead.
Delivery, trial and financing
Shipping is free curbside within the contiguous U.S. (48 states). If you return a chair, a return fee applies; see our refund policy for details.
