Upholstered Rocking Recliner Recommendations?

Hi Moms and Moms-to-be,

My husband and I are in a dilemma, we're both on the taller side (I'm 5'10" and he is 6'3") and all of the rocking gliders/recliners we have seen at BuyBuyBaby and BRU are not tall enough to rest my husbands head during the seating and the reclining position.  In an effort to find something that 'fits' both of us, we're still in a search...

 Any recommendations from any tall parents-to-be for preferably a completely upholstered recliner that rocks, swivels and reclines?  Help!

 Thanks so much everyone for any input you can provide...

    The baby furniture stores around me all carry Best Chairs Storytime Collection. There are so many different fabrics and styles... that's what we are going with! I am 5'9 and my DH is 6'2 and they are SO comfortable!

    We just moved our recliner from the living room to the baby's room. DH is 6'1" and could rock and snooze with DD just fine.

    Try La-z-boys.

    They have some great options and you can customize the fabric.  We're thinking about getting this one https://www.la-z-boy.com/Product/6735-8381/Reclina-Rocker-Recliner/

    It reclines, it glides, it spins, makes julienne fries. :)

    My DH and I are in no way tall, 5'3" and 5'7", so as far as that goes, I am no help. But, we bought a Best Chair from teh Storytime Series and LOVE it. I have slept many, many nights in that chair and it is wonderful. It was also very comfortable for nursing. After I quit BF and DS got a little older, we moved the chair into the living room and now we have fights over who will get to sit in it. LOL. OUr couch sucks. It is plenty wide enough that DS and I both sit in it very comfortably. We were able to pick the upholstery from a book of swatches and went with a very neutral dark camel color. It reclines, swivels, and has a foot rest-thing. I really recommend this chair.

    I def. recommend Lazboys. I got fed up with all the "nursery furniture". We're getting the Lazboy Melanie which is insanely comfortable, but the Gibson is the "big brother" that fit Dh wonderfully (he's 6'1"). They're both rocking recliners and you can add the swivel base to any of them. We knew we wouldn't have room in the actual room to make use of the swivel though! He would fit in the Melanie fine, but being 5' it was just smaller and fit me better and I'll be using it more. If we had the extra $100 to spare we would have just gotten the bigger Gibson. It is SO cushy and comfortable. I actually fell asleep in it in the store while I was waiting for my mom and gma to finish shopping!
