# Everest 9517 500 lb. Oversized Big Man’s Rocker Recliner
## **Built Bigger. Built Stronger. Built for Serious Comfort.**
The **Everest 9517 Big Man’s Rocker Recliner by Franklin Furniture** takes oversized comfort to an entirely different level. Part of Franklin’s heavy-duty **Titan Series**, the Everest is purpose-built for bigger and taller users who need more seating room, stronger support and a recliner engineered to handle up to **500 lbs.**
Everything about the Everest is generously scaled. An extra-wide **24″ seat** gives you more room through the hips and legs, while the impressive **48.5″ overall height** provides the tall, substantial back larger users often struggle to find in a conventional recliner. Fully extended, the Everest reaches approximately **71.5″**, giving you nearly six feet of head-to-toe lounging space.
But the Everest isn’t simply a larger recliner. Its foundation is engineered differently. Franklin’s **Ultralign Reclining Technology** combines a substantial **29.5″ tubular-steel base, Ultra-Arch springs and a larger metal seat box** to create a broader, more supportive seating platform. Together, these heavy-duty components help distribute weight across the entire seat and provide the stability expected from a true Big Man’s recliner.
Comfort gets the same heavy-duty treatment. The Everest uses **high-density WOW gel-blended foam** with increased compression and density to provide a supportive, responsive feel with excellent shape retention. The generously overstuffed back is filled with **premium virgin conjugate fiber**, surrounding you with plush cushioning while maintaining the support a larger recliner demands.
The Everest is a **rocker recliner**, giving you relaxing rocking motion while upright and a comfortable reclining position when it’s time to put your feet up. An **extended easy-release handle** makes the manual recliner easier to operate, while an available **power footrest** provides effortless push-button reclining. **USB charging is also available** for added everyday convenience.
Wrapped in soft **Nucleus 100% polyester upholstery**, the Everest combines inviting texture with the durability needed for a chair that’s likely to become the most-used seat in the house.
For anyone tired of squeezing into undersized recliners, the Everest delivers what its name promises: **serious size, serious strength and serious comfort.**
**Made in the USA of domestic and imported materials.**
