I liked your tips about sitting in a recliner more comfortably & then not have issues when I get up after sitting thru a TV movie!

Glad you liked it.

I've been sleeping in a recliner after my heart attack. Laying flat increases the pressure of the lungs on the heart. I use a nice cushiony U-shaped neck pillow to support my neck. Also a piece of latex foam under my knees. Thank heavens my recliner was well made 60 years ago... firm and irreplaceable!

The thing with a recliner? If your back is hurting before you sit down in a recliner, when you get up, your back is still going to be hurting.

Here is my recipe and it works. If you own a Lazyboy get rid of it. Get a stressless brand recliner and start doing these exercises every day. It will make your life wonderful. I am pain free.

I take the best naps in my recliner!

I have to say I hate recliners! Unfortunately we bought expensive leather ones. They are just too big and bulky and feel horrible beneath the knees. I far prefer a nice fairly upright chair that supports my back with my feet firmly planted on the ground.

I’m a recliner connoisseur I have a small pillow in my low back as I find that there is a hollow area in the recliner which isn’t good for back support. I have an electric recliner.

I have sciatica atm. Been 6 weeks but almost better. Small cushion positioned in L4 L5 area pushes the curve in the spine (arches back to front). Relief!!! I have slept in the recliner (absolute maximum recline) Relief!!!

Will try all your ideas.

Good luck!

When I sleep in the bed, I always wind up with numbness and tingling in my limbs. When I sleep in the recliner, I don’t get that.

I'm stuck between both I have no body ailments but I'm very active and like to rest properly so I do have a recliner but I use it for an hour at most and I get up frequently, if I stay planted for a while my hips and back start getting tense

I needed this information. Thank you.

I often sleep in a recliner. It hurts to sleep on my back in a bed. Hope this isn’t bad

If you can sleep on your back reclined in the recliner, that's not necessarily bad. Side sleeping in a recliner isn't a good idea because it bends your spine sideways. Ideally though, it would be good to be able to sleep comfortably in bed (on your back or your side). Here's a video about back pain when lying down that may help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/np1lsM6HldvJeZs.html

My dad had a stroke and has a recliner with splint on lower leg . he does sit on it and sleep for a while in living room and has pain in lower leg which has now spread to knee. I am not sure using the recliner with leg rests on chair partly up is good for knees if sit or sleep for long time or is a case he is not exercising enough and is sitting even on a recliner too long.The knee pain might be something else but is worth trying adjustment in posture .

It's worth trying the posture adjustments, but you may also be on to something with just spending too much time in the recliner and not moving enough. If he's had a stroke, has a splint immobilizing his leg, isn't moving around very much, and had pain that started in the lower leg, it would also be a good idea to tell his doctors about it to make sure he hasn't developed a blood clot (DVT) in his lower leg. Good luck!
