On a tight budget, consider shopping at your local Habitat for Humanity Restore Store. Sometimes they have nothing I'd want, however, other times they have some really nice stuff -- estates donated -- and you can get wing back chairs and rockers and even recliners Their inventory varies daily.

When considering buying used, know what you're getting. Look it over carefully.

I chose two (different occasions a few months apart) very comfortable wood rockers with separate cushions I took to the local coin laundry and washed in cold water on a gentle cycle with lemon scented Mr. Clean before bringing them home to dry them (so they'd not shrink in the dryer -- took nearly two days to dry so I left the cushions on the dash of my car overnight. One required a couple of replacement bolts to the "lock" of the rocker but the other only required tightening the existing bolts.

IF you do buy something fabric/upholstered you cannot launder, I'd recommend you do give it a close look and sniff test before buying and spray it first for any fleas the former owners pets may have added (etc.) and then for smell before taking it into the house.

MT Company (miles Talbot) makes a really comfortable higher back swivel chair. Sherrill does as well. Hickory Chair may be a good one to try as well. It really depends on your budget. All of these would be in the $900-1200 range.

if comfort is your primary objective -- or even if it isn't -- sit in what you buy before you buy it.

No one can tellyou what is comfortable for you go shopping.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I realize I would need to sit in the chair to make sure it would be comfortable for me. I was seeking input on other brands that I may not be aware of that were known for good quality (but not as pricey as H&M).
