Hello all,
I've read a number of times here that after open heart surgery, it can be more comfortable to sleep in a recliner as compared to a bed. So we're looking for a recliner to keep in the bedroom for after Eric's surgery, and after looking a bit today we had a couple of questions for those with experience...
If you slept in a recliner after surgery, how upright did you like to be? Did you need to be as upright as the chair sits after lifting the legs, or could you recline the chair back comfortably? Did pushing the recliner back cause excessive stress on the sternum? Was a particular recliner design easier to push back to reach a more comfortable sleeping position?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and recommendations!
