Help me find a good office chair!

I have a home office that I do spend a lot of time in. Much of the time is relaxing and watching TV. My wife is in the living room watching her shows and I am in the office watching my shows or actually working on the computer.

I am a typical American. 6 foot tall and for sure a bit overweight, but I am working on that! ;

Anyway the last two office chairs I bought just fell apart because they are designed for a 130 pound person I presume. I have a chair at my real office that is 12 years old and still solid. It does not have a brand name.

I DO NOT want a leather chair. I wear shorts and a t-shirt most of the year and cloth is more comfortable. I want a chair that has a footrest and reclines and is tall enough to nap in. And no, a standard recliner will not work. I want the wheels and the ability to swivel and move the chair to pull up to the computer desk or rotate 180 and recline back and watch TV.

I would prefer an American made chair. I suspect the last two were made in China typical crap.

So the specs: I want a chair that can handle a 220 pound man, has a foot rest, and a high back so I can tilt back and take a nap. And I don't want leather.

I have searched on-line but I can't find anything that fits my specs. Any ideas of a good brand or a source?
