Your head should be higher than your shoulders and has the center of gravity further in front of you. Notice if the back of your head feels tense. Try to focus on how the backs of your legs are pressing the backrest as little as possible. If the backrest of your recliner has a constant tension difference from that of your legs, it may be due to a recliner's strain on your lower back. If you can't feel your seat's pressure during this initial test, your recliner will need replacing. [substeps] Take the recliner's adjustable seat clips and untwist one to relieve more tension in the seat. [substeps] If it's too difficult to lean back, you'll need to decrease the recliner tension. It can also be a good idea to decrease the tension if you have a petite build since reclining the chair will then require less strength.
