TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a recliner, in particular to a foldable recliner.


BACKGROUND

A recliner is a sitting tool commonly used in daily life and generally includes a backrest, a seat surface and armrests. In order to pursue comfort, people will lean the back on the backrest of the recliner while sitting on the recliner. Due to different heights of people, taller people often find that the backrest of the recliner is not high enough when using the recliner, such that the head will be suspended on the backrest when using the recliner, and comfort and user experience will be greatly reduced. In addition, a user can adjust an inclination angle of the backrest of the recliner from a sitting posture to a lying posture. However, when the inclination angle of the backrest is increased, a suspended portion of the backrest is increased, thereby reducing the stability of the recliner and leading to falling and other situations of the user who uses the recliner to take a rest.
