I absolutely love this chair - it's comfort and it's easiness to carry around. It's so comfy that I thought about using it to sit in while I watch TV in our den. However, I mainly got it so I could take it with me when we go to our son's T-ball games and practices because sometimes there's no where to sit. A VERY COMFORTABLE CHAIR. It does recline perfectly. You can definitely get all curled up with a blanket or two and it won't hurt your back because it's not straight up. I Love the cup holder too. Take it camping, to t-ball games or leave it in your family room to watch TV. Anyway you like...it's a great chair.
