Zero gravity chair for big AND tall over 6'3"

Question

Hey guys

I'm looking for a zero gravity recliner that's extra wide and extra long. My current recliner is a standard size, my feet dangle way over the end and the chair sides dig into my thighs leaving bruises. All the XL chairs I've seen are only extra wide and perhaps an inch or two longer. That doesn't cut it. Any ideas/experiences?
Here's a pic of my current chair. Note the pool noodle on the lower crossmember. Helps just so much. After a while it hurts.

I'm also 6'3", I think I have the same color pool noodle on mine :)  You're right, it only helps so much...  Hope someone posts a better alternative onto this thread.

I have been looking for years and once saw one with the bottom bar dropped but have not found it since, still does not cure the "hang over". In searching for I found this one Tall? chair.
I am thinking of looking for the manufacturer, (China?) or taking a conventional chair and doing a hack, cutting the bottom bar do some 90 degree elbows and welding/gluing/whatever to get it to work.

Here's the anti-gravity chairs we have.

Rated up to 300 lbs and the seat is 21" wide. Don't know if it would accommodate you for height though. (The shade thing folds back, so it wouldn't hit you on the head.)

Good idea with the pool noodle. I'm going to try that.
