Before you go to the store, make sure you have his correct height.
I made the mistake of trying out a recliner in a store after I had been shopping the whole afternoon: I was very tired. The chair felt so comfortable so I bought it.
At home I discovered my mistake after sitting in it for a while: I was a little too short for it as the back top roll hit my head / neck in the wrong place. This chair would be perfect for a tall person. It was donated.
The width of the seat is very important also...check the different models to see what would be most comfortable for DH. Better yet, get him to try them out since he will spend a lot of time in one as he recovers.
