I actually bought a Lazyboy several months back from a neighborhood furniture shop. I needed the head/neck/back support without it being a large chair. It is a rocker/recliner. I like how I can lean it back with or without raising the footrest. The footrest raises high enough that I can rest my feet higher than my heart. The negative is that the headrest sometimes feels too soft when I need more support for reading. I'll use a supplemental pillow for that. Doesn't seem to be bothersome watching TV though. It is one of the only chairs I've actually been able to sleep in. Best of all, less than $500!
