A handle-operated, wall-avoiding, recliner chair having a headrest which during normal or upright position of the chair is concealed behind the backrest but which is extended upon movement of the chair to TV position or to reclining positions to support the head and upper regions of the back of the chair occupant. The chair is moved into TV position, that is, with the footrest extended, by means of a handle mounted on the side of the chair. The headrest is mounted to the backrest by a linkage which is actuated to extend or retract the headrest by means of a headrest actuating linkage connected to the handle to be driven thereby when the chair is moved to the TV position. The headrest mounting linkage is also actuated when the chair is moved to advanced reclining positions, beyond TV position, to further position the headrest in harmony with the advanced reclining position of the chair.
