"Quality of life"......a gift that just keeps on giving.

I sat in hundreds before settling on the one I got. It's designed for a women's body, different dimensions. And, is space saver, sits closer to the wallor has a smaller footprint.
Electric is great unless you have storms, surges, etc. We do, tropical storms and hurricanes and winds.
I don't do well sitting on a couch for long. I get really uncomfortable, body screams at me! So, have a recliner in den and bedroom. Fiance and I had related recliners. He was a big man, so he needed a larger chair.
Hope you are well, Sue. Blessings, Elizabeth

@ess77, Smiling because who says we have to sit on couches? very big grin (vbg). Mine faces the tv so I stretch out with back pillow support and Precious perches on tummy as we view our favortie shows together....she prefers animal programs but likes the pro-football games too.
With back problems enhanced by aging...sigh...I find I can't sit comfortably anywhere for long now...except in my wonderful feminine styled vintage recliner. With my most recent sofa purchase, I ordered two "special order" stylish manual recliners. When neighbors came over, husband tried to recline in one and it was so stiff it was a struggle! Should have called furniture store to loosen; instead it took months to "break in" the two newbies. Of course the store model reclined easily because of many shopper try outs! Who would have thought? lol

Thinking I may have shared this before, but will share again because it has been huge for my husband. He has drop foot that happened after back surgery that also resulted in MRSA 23 years ago. His leg is weak. He's been active, but getting out of a recliner was hard. We decided a lift chair recliner was worth considering. And, we were shocked at the price, which generally ran between $2000 and $3000 depending on fabric. I took a chance and ordered a $500 model on eBay. Brand new, OK color, man sized. It has been a life saver. So good that we ordered another one for our summer place. Mentioning this because it was so well worth it. His recent episode with an epidural gone wrong that left his other leg with weakness has added to our thankfulness that he has this chair.
