What is "barcalounger"

A Barcalounger is a type of recliner made in the United States of America. It was introduced by the Barcalo Manufacturing Company of Buffalo, New York, which eventually became the Barcalounger Company. The chairs are currently produced in Morristown, Tennessee, after the company filed for bankruptcy and shuttered its facilities in Rocky Mount, North Carolina and Martinsville, Virginia.

Barcalo Manufacturing also made beds in Welland, Ontario under the Quality Beds name in the first decade of the 20th century. It is reputed to be the first American company to allow its employees coffee breaks, in 1902.
