With the current economic downturn, individuals and businesses in all sectors are feeling the pinch. The issues have generally been caused by a shortage of credit, which not only causes bills to go unpaid by customers, but also means the shop struggles for short term cash flow to cover for these unpaid bills. This is being felt just as hard in the world of recliners.

Although recliners are a fantastic example of engineering that can help with all kinds of physical ailments such as back and joint pain, they are often seen as a luxury by most people. This has led to a drop in the sale of recliners right across the board since the downturn began, as families were forced to try and make do with simple static armchairs and sofas, perhaps the odd futon, instead of their wondrous contraptions of comfort.

It is not just this loss of new business that is causing headaches for recliner dealerships either. After the last 5 years of super-cheap credit, the majority of recliners were purchased on special offers involving spreading the payments out over a seriously long length of time, often with little or initial deposit. Of course in the current climate with even rock solid credit rated families having to sell their houses back to the bank, there have been a serious number of recliner defaults, leaving many showrooms seriously out of pocket. Some of the money may be recoverable eventually, but it is in the short-term disruptions to cash flow that the damage will be done.
