They all look nice, but that blue one at the bottom looks the best.
Are they easy to get out of?
We have the same problem, with Nana’s knees and hips. We bought her recliner at an Ashley Home Furnishings store.

Oh...we have one of those Ashley Home Furnishing stores. I’ll have to find out where it is.
My knees are a major issue, too, so all pictured are easily gotten out of. One of the options at Lazy Boy was the addition of a taller base or a rotating base. Adding a few inches to the height makes a huge difference in extracting ones self....a good difference.
The blue color is my favorite, altho I don’t know if it’s my favorite chair. I like the splash of color. And there will be 2 of them.
