    theater seating solitude - feet can't touch the floor

    So yesterday, I was giving the solitude a more thorough look over at a dealers lot.. and I noticed something interesting.

    When sitting in the theater seats in this early 18 year model, my feet won't touch the floor. I'm think that this might start to become uncomfortable when you're just sitting in the seat in the upright position.

    Does this bug anyone else?

    I pulled the theater seat out of our Reflection for that very reason. Replaced with a single recliner.

    We have an early model 2018 Solitude 375res and I am fairly short (5'8") and my feet reach the floor just fine. I don't practically like the power seats but reaching the floor when the seat is not reclined doesn't seem to be a problem. My wife is 5’3” and I haven’t heard her complain yet. I will ask her and see what she thinks.

    And we're talking about the Thomas Payne's ?

    I guess if I stretch my toes, they touch the floor, but just sitting normal, they swing and swing.. I'm 5 10

    It's almost as if... the seat sort of sits back already, and lifts up slightly at the knees.. like the seat itself is never flat, so therefore it picks your feet up a little.

    Most office chairs and recliners that I've purchased over the past few years are cushioned higher behind the knees and the backrest is tilted slightly to the rear. I'm 6 feet even and no problems touching the ground. My five feet tall wife however.....

    I guess I'm trying to determine if this particular coach has an anomaly.

    I am what they call... "vertically challenged" and my feet touching the floor on anything other than a step stool is an anomaly.
