Our Verdict

The RESPAWN 800 swaps the 900's footrest and deep recline for a simpler pedestal base that swivels a full 360 degrees and rocks back to 117 degrees, no wheels required either way. Flip-up armrests make it easier to get in and out of, and the high-back ergonomic shape carries over the same lumbar support as the pricier 900 series. It undercuts both RESPAWN 900 versions while staying lighter and easier to reposition than a full recliner. For buyers who want RESPAWN's stationary build quality without paying for a footrest they may not use, the 800 is the better value. Lighter and easier to reposition.
