Comfort and convenience are everything when it comes to choosing furniture. Recliners in particular, are one of the best pieces of furniture you can own. The relaxation capabilities while sitting in a recliner make the purchase all the worthwhile.
For someone who has a medical problem that restricts movement or for someone who has a general difficult time maneuvering around, a recliner lift chair is the best possible option for sitting comfort.
There are many manufacturers of lift recliner chairs, but before you purchase one, you should know which style and specifications will suit your needs best.
Lift recliner chairs are not a one size fits all type of chair. Depending on the weight and height of the person will determine which size chair you need. You’ll need a seat width measurement and a back height one. You can turn to the manufacturer’s guide for assistance with this part.
A life recliner chair can recline back much further than a typical recliner, so another question to ask yourself is, how far back do I want my recliner to go? You can choose a semi-recline, to a moderate and then all the way back to a lying down position. This factor is dependent upon mobility limitations.
Do you want any special features added to your chair? For example, if you’ve had a stroke and have limited mobility with a particular hand, you can choose to have a remote mounted to the side of the chair with the hand that has full function. For therapeutic purposes, you can ask the manufacturer if it’s possible to have features such as heat and massage added. You can also custom upholster your chair with a fabric of choice.
