Abstract
A vehicle seat including a thigh support, a leg rest, a foot rest and a control system which is adapted to monitor the respective positions of the leg rest and the foot rest. The control system will either move the foot rest to a position where it will not strike the floor during movement of the leg rest or prevent the foot rest from moving in such a manner that it will strike the floor. A control system which is adapted to adjust the back support and leg rest such that the seat is in either the sleep orientation or the upright orientation in response to the user's actuation of a single switch may also be used.
