Barcalounger
Padded reclining seat
Barcalounger is a brand of reclining chair, now used generically for any large, padded recliner—the kind that tilts back and extends a footrest.
The name evokes comfortable middle-American domesticity, often with a hint of the sedentary: Dad fell asleep in his Barcalounger watching the game.
