Recliner

Recliners can also accommodate a near supine position for sleeping (making them multifunctional furniture), and are common in airplanes and trains, as well as in homes.In the late 1800s, many designs were found for motion chairs that were made of wood with a padded seat and back.[5] Knabush and Shoemaker, two American cousins, are credited with gaining a patent on a wooden recliner.The Secret Service bought 50 of them for President Lyndon Baines Johnson as a Christmas gift.The Presidential Seal was embossed on these chairs with one currently in the Smithsonian Institution and another at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.
