This chair is .... AMAZING! It's super comfortable which is a must because you will be spending a lot of time in your nursery chair. Also, the electric function is a life saver. I wasn't planning on havng a c-section but ended up needing one and let me just say, the recovery was painful! Getting in and out of bed was so hard! So I basically slept in this chair those first few nights and it was so helpful. With traditional non-electric recliners, you really have to manually push the footrest which exerts your abdominal muscles and increases your risk of developing a hernia as well...this electric recliner has got you covered though!
