Duane thank you for the info, and when you get the interior dimensions, please let me know.

Martha,
We have used pillows for the last 10 years, so we don't need to consider them. We have found that they are terribly uncomfortable. My sister and daughter both have the leather pillow top arms, which we find very comfortable. As, I stated earlier, I like this style and don't care what anyone else thinks about the way it looks. As we know, "what goes around comes around", and it appears that since H&M has rolled out a new pillow top arm recliner, that this style may be making a comeback. Either way, I don't care. Thanks for your input.
