Tim highlights that the Pinnacle provides independent back and legrest movement, allowing users to fine-tune their exact comfort level. This makes it especially helpful for those needing relief from back discomfort or difficulty shifting weight.
The Pinnacle also fully reclines into a horizontal, bed-like position, which can be useful for sleeping, recovery, or extended relaxation.
