I am 5-5" and my husband is 5-7" 160lbs. we tried the sami, Royal, and Woodbridge. I also tried a Greyson. The sami fit me perfectly, it is narrow but supported head and feet well. My husband liked the Sami, but liked the Woodbridge better. That one also fit me well. The Greyson was too upright when not reclined. The Royal was a little too big for us, but since we are smaller than your husband, you may want to consider something as large as the Royal. There were other people trying the recliners and the Royal looked like it fit some of the bigger men better than the Woodbridge.

Hope this helps!
