Researched recliners for days, not wanting one that could potentially harm "nosey" kittens from them getting caught underneath/inside of bottom of traditional (grampa) recliners.  So this super comfortable and modern spin of a chair with ottoman (that equals a big, bulky one) fits the bill. In all seriousness, the first evening I sat in it and tilted back all the way, I fell asleep within 10 minutes! I awoke and asked girlfriend if she thought I was pretending- she said "no, I knew you were out by your snoring!"
Case closed. Oh! - our cat loves it as well, she slept in chair the first 2 nights she owned it.
