Recliner rocker vs glider w/ ottoman -

What would you choose? Do you have either? What is your ideal BFing chair?

I was searching for gliders the other day and came across a small problem...Im too big for most of these chairs!! The arm's would break off, and I want to be able to sit there comfortably for an hour or 2, and be able to fall asleep if I wanted to. so it dawned on me - DUDE! Get a lazyboy recliner!! So now Im on a hunt for lower priced recliners (that rock) What do you think?? Big lots has one for about $280 - cheaper than the actual arm chair gliders at BRU.

Check Plush Mocha Oversized Rocker Recliner - BigLots.com

Ill be able to recline and sleep with baby, while still being downstairs with the kids and family! And not have to worry about my hips breaking the wooden gliders!

I have a rocker but would LOVE to have a recliner. DH says NO use the rocker, whatever..BUT I was thinking If I find a crappy one and just have re upholstered then MAYBE he would let me get one? Those chairs are always so pricey!!!

We already have a rocker recliner so I don't think we will be getting anything else!

I have a gliding chair and ottoman from BRU - and they sure are ridiculously expensive (mine was the floor model so we got a deal). I'll be honest though, I love it. I especially love the ottoman. In addition to gliding, it has a nursing stool that comes out too. It's extremely comfortable, but then it was specifically designed to be good for nursing/holding a baby. It also reclines so I've taken several naps in it too. I would buy this chair/ottoman again in a heartbeat, it's been worth the cash. If you like a rocking motion more than a gliding one, then the Lazyboy would be great, because it's so cushioned. I personally like a gliding motion more. Either way, do NOT forgo the ottoman. Having a footrest come up when you recline is good, but a separate ottoman is better, for nursing especially.

Thanks for your input Kyle!! I never used a stool with morgan...so I doubt Id use one this time around either, in fact I tend to sit criss cross when I nurse, or one leg under me, dont know why lol. Amy - david wont let you get one from big lots? its TONS cheaper than a real lazy boy!!
