Thank you Wibby they look just what I want . I don't suppose you remember the name of your chair ? there is such a good range and choice hope you don't mind me asking I will study the measurement so that should help me to come to a decision .

How about a nice, comfy rocking chair? I bought one recently and I find it very relaxing and supportive.

I find my stressless recliner really positions my spine well and is very supportive and comfortable yet doesn't look 'special'.

Those stressless chairs are so comfy, my daughter has two, The problem with them is that they are too low I can't get out of them.

I all too frequently fall asleep on my Stressless chair. Somehow it prevents me from 'lolling', so I wake up in the same position.

I love my Celebrity recliner chairs, so comfortable and supportive, they come in three sizes, Petite, Standard, and Grande, and are quite compact compared to most modern chairs.
Its also possible to get a chair prescribed via your local community Occupational therapist for free, via Mediquip, my Daughter had one, made to measure and exactly for her own personal needs, ask at your GP practice for a referal, and even if you prefare to buy your own, the assesment will be very helpful in getting the right chair and avoiding any expensive mistakes.
