Hello, we are looking for one recliner chair. And if successful, then a second one.

Back story. My sweetie is a liver transplant recipient. 30+ years out. Meds from the time ravaged her long bone joints and as a result, she has had 6 total joint replacements, 2 ankle fusions.. and other things too. Short of it is she live is chronic pain. At times it is crushing. But we work to keep things functional.

A chair is vital. We’ve rooted around for years looking for a suitable chair. On our 4th one. So am reaching out to this community to ask for help, ideas, advice. So we don’t again spend oddles of time going around to furniture stores, finding just ‘ok’ chairs and are soon end up disappointed.

Worse tho is now, the recent chairs we have are leaving us in pain. Not only can we not get comfortable. Cannot just relax. End up compromising. We're are experience more pain instead of relaxing.

We’re tired.

So what are we looking for? A chair that provides a leg lift, back recliner, on the “not” thick, fat, bloated side… but more towards narrower but not crazy thin. And vital in all this which we have yet to really find is something that can be adjusted so the back can go straight up 90 degrees… not essentially every chair we view.. the back leans backwards a few degrees and we cannot ever get to straight up, and a back that does not have an added cushion or pillow that pushes the head forward.

Literally… a chair that is capable of a nice, comfortable feel when sitting in, leaning back into, but where the back can be made to go straight up.. and then adjustable into a backwards reclining position tho we never need to go back more than say 20-25 degrees backwards.

We have tried adding lifts, risers, under the back feet to attain a straight back, but that ends up disastrous. And we’ve tried to find chairs where the back can over adjust forward so it attains a straight back/up posture. But so far a no go. Having a total body ‘lift’ function is not vital but would be nice, lift being where the chair can motor forward to assist one to stand up.

We just have not found anything that attains the above simple characteristics. Almost all the back can only attain maybe 75-80% up, and/or is has an added pillow or similar that forces the head forward.

Thoughts anyone? We’re tired of flailing around for something, and now we’re experiencing more pain from chairs. A model, style of chair to pursue, a company? Help?
