רכין
Explanation:
Hi Zmira,

reclining chair = מושב רכין / כסא רכין

I'm 100% sure it's proper Hebrew, bscause it comes from
The Academy fo the Hebrew Language.
I'm lowering the confisence only because it's probably
too archaeic (though it comes from a 2008 term list)
and not widely known & used enough
for your purposes of translation.
