Our thoughts: The shallower seat and high seatback make for a more upright sitting position - great for the posture, spine, breathing and digestion. The added seat height is great for those with longer legs and the added back height allows the seat to cradle the head and neck. The arms are a good height and wrap you in their embrace.
