This recliner has extra padding in arms, seat and back, and would be very good for a new mom because the arms are extra high and padded, n rocks when stationary. When you’re not in reclining position w/ legs elevated, it’s also a relaxing rocker with a smooth motion. So you can sit on it while it rocks. Side mounted handle lifts the leg rest into 3 locked positions. Double blown fiber filler cushions. See videos and pics. Fabric is in great condition, no pets n smoke-free home. Not used much. 1 flaw in fabric on back on seating, shown in pic. Original owner amazing condition. Measurement in pictures. Extremely comfortable cushy chair to sit and rock and elevate ur legs n watch tv
