Have you tried Elite Dangerous? It's totally playable from the chair.

I wonder how that game would be to play it relaxing in a "zero-g" recliner/lounge chair?

Have you ever heard of the company Flogiston - and the Flogiston Flostation?

You can find some more pictures and stuff with google - the company no longer exists, and I don't know if any of the prototypes or such are still around; if they are, they are probably "unobtainium".

But anyhow, part of the system was a particular style of "zero gravity" posture chair, as you can see from the pictures and such. So playing Elite Dangerous in an HMD from a similar chair might be an interesting experience...
