Hard to do, irritates low back herniated disc. Taking a nap solves the problem, but feet are not higher than heart. Not always able to take them though. Wish I had one of those tilted upside-down chairs! Straight back chairs are required to keep low back painless but are hard to get feet higher than heart. Will give the idea some thought and see what my brain waves come up with. Thanks.

I have an adjustable mattress which makes it easy for me but I don't have a back problem like you have.

You're referring to ZERO GRAVITY chairs. Google and learn about the various ones available, even as chairs for patio, etc. I'm looking into getting a zero gravity recliner with lumbar support. Yes, they are available in various price ranges, some seriously expensive. I don't want heat or massage, just a quality zero gravity recliner, and will need lift since I have developed problems with legs, making raising myself from a sitting position very painful (and depending on the pain level of the day, getting up to a standing position is nearly impossible, an at times not possible at all).
I learned that Medicare will pay for the mechanism within such chairs but not for the cost of the chair itself. Medicare also pays for adjustable base for beds IF prescribed by your doctor. It's a process that can be a deterrence, but may be worth your while. Of course, all depends on the type of Medicare plan one has.
