Mine is not a straight back chair. It's a Drexel upholstered swivel/rocker with an adjustable seat back tension.

May I ask what make/model of recliner-or its dimensions?
And laying down on it how far is your head from the 55" TV 5 ft above the floor?

I have a Stressless Consul. I don't lay it flat for TV viewing, although I do for napping. My viewing distance is 12 feet.

  You need a larger TV. My 77" OLED is 5.5 feet away to give me the "Dolby Subtended Angle" of 45-50 degrees while my visual acuity with glasses, cannot resolve the individual pixels, so it's Optimum.

    I can't go larger than 60 inch, the alcove where it is won't allow it, and I'm not going to put my chair in the middle of the room. No matter, I got along with the setup when I had a 30 inch CRT.

  This looks wonderfully comfortable. https://www.stressless.com/en/products/recliners However, without open space around the head beneficial reflections may not be received, especially for music listening. I use the Drexel chair with a small ottoman somewhat like this so it won't block delivery from the main and center speakers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404316098756

    Mine doesn't block anything.
    
    As for comfort, I spend some 7 hours a day on my computer. I used to do so at a desktop, sitting in a conventional computer station chair. It put all my weight on my hips, which killed my back. I went to Stressless and a laptop, the laptop on a table like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Karl-home-Height-Adjustable-26-in-H-W-Retangular-Gray-Wood-Iron-Computer-Desk-with-Wheel-941228127004/318312582
    
    That ended my back problem. Between being on the computer and just watching TV I'm in my chair some 10 hours a day, with no ill effect.
