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.
Will try all your ideas.
Good luck!
I take the best naps in my recliner!
Thank you for this information. This is something that I am concerned about right now.
You're welcome.
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.
That's a good tip too. Thanks for sharing!
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!!!
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.
Glad the recliner helps. Here are a few videos that may help with sleeping positions to get more comfortable in bed.

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 needed this information. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much for those great tips
You're welcome.
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
Nice information dr.
Glad you liked it.
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: ua-cam.com/video/li1NlNexcI8/v-deo.html
@@More4Life thanks, my spine is already twisted from sleeping in the recliner and all the compression fractures in it
