Like Kim, my husband has the Golden Technology chair from a local store who matched online pricing and will provide any service we might need in our home. His has the zero gravity position and a remote on a cable that's long enough to use with either hand. (Important now because his right hand can no longer control it.)
He wanted the upholstered chair instead of leather, so I got a waterproof, washable recliner cover that works great! It has arm covers that drop over the side long enough to hold remotes but short enough he can reach them. We got the large chair. My PALS is a big guy (6'1" and 250 lbs.) and I am only 5'3", but it is comfortable for both of us. (Sometimes that chair is the only thing that "cures" my insomnia! HaHaHa) When he's not in bed, he's in that chair!
