Im sorry to hear of your problems Jools, but as the saying goes 'where theres a wiil theres a way'.
Have you tried using foam block wedges for support?
Im Disabled myself, and need to sit and sleep upright fully supported with my feet raised. I bought and covered a foam block wedge with a back height of around 90cm, with a top edge of around 15cm deep and approx 40cm at the base. I use this at the opposite end of the long front benches to the window, which gives me a slightly backward support similar to a high backed domestic sofa.
I have also gone a step further by buying a memory foam V-pillow from Dunhelm, which l lean up against my wedge for extra comfort and softness for sleeping at night. You can also buy memory foam neck pillows if you wanted to take this even further. You need to buy the medium to firm grade foam for the wedge itself, but dont be tempted to buy the cheaper firm bonded foam crumb type as its rock hard and very heavy in use and a total waste of money. The width of your wedge should be just slightly narrower than the seat base cushion, mines 80cm and works fine for me, being a similar width to the comfy chair backs l have at home.
