Recliners:
X Rocker doesn’t stop at just making rockers and pedestals, they also make a line up of recliners designed for gaming. When it comes to the recliner, a lot of the same base features apply from the other models, but of course with the comfort of a chair that is designed for you to relax in. The X Rocker Triple Flip (https://www.amazon.com/Rocker-0717901-Triple-Storage-Ottoman/dp/B00CTIA5LU?ref_=ast_bbp_dp) is one such example, allowing you to recline while you enjoy your gaming experience.

FAQs
What does Wireless mean for the chairs?
If a chair is wireless capable, it is designed to eliminate the need for audio cables running from Chair to TV. The chair itself though, has a power adapter that runs from chair to power outlet, which gives it the power it needs.
Can a Pedstal Mounted Chair be converted to a floor rocker?
The Answer is Yes & No, it depends on the model. Be sure to check with your product guide or with X Rocker directly to verify.
When the chair is in use, will sound come from the other sources?
No, similar to headphones being plugged into your phone or laptop, the sound will only come through the chair when connected.
Is the Height on the Pedestal Mounted Chair Adjustable?
Unfortunately the chair is not height adjustable, and it sits roughly 18 inches off of the floor.
