Lift Recliner Chair after Hip Replacement?

Having THR in late July and am wondering if a Lift Recliner Chair has been found useful by others? I have a leather sectional couch with 2 recliner pieces on each end, but they have manual controls and you have to use your body weight to put the footrest down and of course, bend forward when getting out, so I am wondering if that will be advisable. Also, your hips seem to sink lower than your knees in these two parts of my sectional couch. I hear that there are fewer restrictions with the anterior method which is the one I am having. I was also wondering if people found it more comfortable to sleep in a lift recliner for a time after the surgery. Or is this an unnecessary expense for an item which will not be used for that long of a period of time? Thanks

    I didn't have a recliner. A company came and raised up my sofa and also my bed, so that they were the correct height.

      Have you tried putting a pillow on a seat and sitting on that, I found that comfy.
