I have the stressless recliner, standing desk, single large monitor, monitor arm to tilt my monitor towards me since I'm reclined, ergo split keyboard which I rest on the arms of the recliner, and a small table right next to my recliner where I put my trackball mouse, phone, and water. The standing desk isn't necessary, it's just what I've had all these years, but it's nice to precisely adjust the height of the desk based on comfort. The monitor arm is key so that my monitor remains parallel to me. Imagine sitting in a normal office chair, the monitor would be vertical - since I'm reclined, I need to tilt it accordingly.

Are you willing to share a link to the specific chair you have? "Stressless" appears to be both a brand name and a type of recliner, which makes it difficult to search for.
I got the Stressless Reno https://shop.stressless.com/en/c/recliners/reno I visited a local furniture store that's a certified retailer of Stressless and got to try a bunch of models out. I brought my keyboard with me to simulate how it'd feel. The thing to look for - your body should be so relaxed you almost start napping in 10-15 mins. There should be zero tension in your shoulders or your neck (i.e. chair should not push your neck forward or else you'll get headaches).
