American doctor Edward Livingston Trudeau, a pivotal figure in the study of tuberculosis, opened up a cottage sanatorium that treated TB patients. An early idea of Dr. Trudeau was that sufferers of TB could be helped with enough bed rest. As a result, they developed reclining chairs called “Cure Chairs.” The chairs would reduce movement from a bed to a chair and allow people to get the optimal amount of rest. The design of these chairs would go on to influence day beds, recliners and loungers – right up to today’s la-z-boys!
