The Chairs I Tested
The [Christopher Knight Home Tafton Recliner With Ottoman](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Christopher+Knight+Home+Tafton+Recliner+With+Ottoman&tag=thetestedhub-20) was the design winner. Tufted leather looks great and the ottoman is heavier than expected.

Frequently asked
Separate ottomans give better leg support and double as guest seating. Built-in footrests are tidier but the angle is fixed.
I look for at least 120 degrees of back recline. Anything less and you cannot actually nap; anything more and you struggle to stand back up.
