Why Cardiac Patients Heal Better In A MacZcliner

After open-heart surgery, sleeping flat on your back can be painful β€” and getting in and out of a traditional bed puts strain on the chest, sternum, and healing surgical sites. That's why Mack didn't touch a bed for two months.

The MacZcliner solved three of the biggest recovery problems:

  • Safe overnight sleep at a supported incline that doesn't press on the sternum
  • Power lift assist that does most of the work when standing up
  • Zero-gravity positioning to reduce swelling in the legs and feet

Mack lived it. Now he wants every cardiac patient in Houston to have the same recovery he did.

β€œMy husband had open-heart surgery and needed a recliner like Jim McIngvale. This recliner has made a big difference in the comfort of his recovery.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MacZcliner designed for?
