I think what made these good design is that they were pioneers. Consider the eames chair. Plenty of people lust after one, they are worth more than a used car.

I have sat in one but there wasn’t any magic or anything. Any recliner feels the same. But that being said my perspective is from a world post eames chair. Before this chair maybe there wasn’t a comparable experience at all among what people were usually buying for chairs.
