I decided to purchase 2 of the  'Trouper' recliners after sitting in the one my mom has.  I'm short, so recliners tend to have too much bulk behind my head, pushing it uncomfortably forward. I have no such problems with the Trouper.  This recliner is well padded and very comfortable, but not at all bulky.   I'm able to sit completely back in the chair with my feet on the floor.  My husband loves the way he can recline almost completely recumbent.  We are 100% satisfied with our purchase and recommend the Trouper model for all but a very large person.
