TD...We recfently came to the same conclusion re lack of comfort and replace Mainship sofa w 2 recliners.We had replaced a recliner in a motorhome with a Benchmaster recliner purchased online through Discount Leather Chairs We went with the Benchmaster Ventura model as it was a little more compact - their different styles have slightly different dimensions if you look through their line.Our MH recliner has served us well and we're expecting similar results on the boat but we just made the swap at the end of our season.I don't see the link / listing of Benchmaster on the DL Chair site but I seem to recall it was somewhat hidden - If you call you will likely reach Bob - I found him very knowledgeable and helpful. They periodically run specials so you might inquire and see when if any are coming up... I bet he would get back to you if you asked.Edit - found the link and it shows the riser / base Benchmaster at DL Chairs Service was great - had the chairs shipped to our house - they are partially assembled and boxed well - 1/2 hr ass'y for each but that was actually an advantage fitting them in our SUV and getting them aboard.If you go the above route I would also recommend the optional riser for the chairs - It about an 1" high wooden ring that gets placed under the chair base. My wife & I are fairly tall and found it more comfortable a little higher - also being Sr Citizens easier in / out.I do plan to be more careful to close blinds when we leave the boat for extended times as I understand sun /UV not the best for leather.Re: attachment - I added a web strap w/ a plastic quick-connect buckle in the MH - rarely use it and have never had the chair move. Haven't done anything on our boat - all the saloon furniture in our Mainship was lose - sofa, chair, stools, table so didn't fel it was necessary but something that can be done fairly easily if / when req'dI do see Camping World has some similar units for RV's including one w/ a built-in foot rest - you might try them if you have a decent sized one nearbyGood luck and if any questions feel free to contact me - PM probably best.A couple of before & after pics...
Looking at the original sketch of the Ball Chair, it was created on the 11th of January in . Eero immediately knew that it would have to be prototyped first. Pirkko&#;s father was a school teacher in Salo, where Eero spent evenings and weekends with Pirkko&#;s brother in the crafts class room developing the first ever shell to the Ball Chair. Taking of the molds for the first time, the outer surface turned out beautifully, but the inside was uneven and rugged. It needed to be reinforced. First, they thought of adding more fiberglass layers. The shell did in fact get stronger, but Eero realized that the weight and costs would also rise accordingly. Facing the problem, a lightbulb came on over his head. Right behind the opening of the shell, he could install a round pipe ring, and laminate it with fiberglass. The shell became as hard as stone, and it was ready to be upholstered by a talented upholsterer Kataja in Haaga. Completed in their home stood the first prototype of the Ball Chair, the very same one still present in the Aarnio family&#;s current home in Veikkola.

The first potential customer for the Ball Chair was a furniture shop Sopenkorpi in Lahti. Eero showed them the drawings at the factory and told about the prototype he had made. The Ball Chair was delivered to the Helsinki, where it stood on the shop floor in Kasarmitori. The business representative came to see the chair but, in the end, they were not interested.
Eero Aarnio didn&#;t lose his drive to success that easily. In he had a great idea for marketing the Coca-Cola brand. He painted the whole shell of the Ball Chair red and enlarged and glued the Coca-Cola logo to the back. He emptied their whole bedroom, bought a huge white board, and placed the Ball Chair in the center of it. He asked Pirkko to dress all black and sit in the chair and drink Coca-Cola with a straw. Eero shot a short image series, and afterwards he called the representative of Coca-Cola Finland to see if they would be interested in collaboration. When the representative saw the idea of Coca-Cola chairs he was overwhelmed by enthusiasm and wanted to send it to their company headquarters. Eero was excited, his freelancer career was about to kick off. Only it was not yet written in the stars. After a few months wait he received a fairly rude letter from the headquarters, stating that they had other plans for marketing.
