This chair is comfortable for a 5'4" pregnant lady and a 6' husband of a pregnant lady. It isn't too wide, which is nice, because I always find myself leaning to one side in chairs that are super wide, which hurts my back, but there's still room for a pillow to nurse. The recliner is nice, and I didn't find it hard to push back down at all, which was a concern I had based on the reviews. It's smooth and a natural movement as you stand up. It's going to be a great addition to our nursery, but looks nice in the living room while we're painting.
