I have to adapt my recliner for sleeping too.
I use a pillow on the foot rest for no pressure points, a lumbar pillow for the low back because the head and shoulders are shorter in the chair then a guy, and it pitches my head forward.

I have it all the way back and lay fetal. I can not sleep on my back. I make sure I have myself relaxed, which mentally is never possible, but I try. I have valium for spasms and taking that at night helps, along wth Advil gel caps, 3 or 4 of them.

If my neck trap hurt it is ice. if it is the low back, thigh then it is the heating pad.

If a real flare of the lumbar or trap, I have a tens, not one like a bee sting, but a massage wave action. From Reliamed for $75 best one I ever had. I wear it for hours when in spasms or pain of trigger point spasms..

I need a new recliner this one is shot. I want more sink in comfort, one that the leg rest is padded up to the seat area,
Maybe income tax refund money,.,,,
