Hey, Sal, I did a lot of homework and testing to pick the lift chair I'll be ordering when I get wherever I'm going. I have frequent bouts of vertigo and can only sleep sitting almost upright in a recliner when it hits me.

The ONLY one I could find that is genuinely comfortable to me is by Berkline. I chose the wing back version primarily because I prefer the greater distance/depth between the armrests and the seat. It suits my arms better and allows me to put my long lap desk across the arms for a work area.

I tested all the major manufacturers' models, Pride, Med-Lift, Golden, and Berkline. The common thread among all but Berkline was an impossibly firm seat cushion. I'm a buttless wonder and require a little cush for my tush. The Berkline is the only one that feels like a 'regular' chair to me.

The three-way recline takes it to horizontal and it has an extension of padded fabric between the seat and foot stool, so it's a whole support unit and there is no fear of becoming entangled between the two.

I also inspected the construction of all and found the Berkline to be superior, using hardwood joinery instead of staples and plywood/particle board.

Here's a link to the one I choose:
