The recliner chair has been around forever but they have invented more and more ways for us to become comfortable while sitting down. There are myriad kinds of recliners, such as the electric, manual, massage, riser, swivel, rocker and combination recliner, just to name a few. It all depends on what your heart desires and what style fits your home.
Description of Some Choices In Recliner Chairs
- Electric – Comes with a built in motor to electronically recline the back of the chair and raise the footrest.
- Electric riser – This recliner is normally used for any person who has a disability and cannot move under their own propulsion. These recliners have a remote control attached to the built in motor where the user can literally ‘ask’ the chair to rise up to meet them. The user can then just lean against the chair and manipulate it back into a sitting position. The manufacturer will normally do a made to measure chair to make sure the fit is correct for ease of sitting.
- Massage - For those people who suffer from constant aches and pains, this chair provides a massage therapist around the clock. There are usually four different massage controls ranging from rolling, kneading, compression to percussion, depending on your need that day. They can even come with the availability of pre-programming them to a session of different massages if wanted.
- Rocker and Swivel – Just as the description says, these recliner chairs can swivel to turn to any occasion or rock for satisfaction and comforting relief.
- Manual – All this means is that there is no electric devices on this chair. There is simply a handle or lever on the side of the chair that is used to recline the back and life the foot rest.
A recliner chair not only comes as a stand alone unit anymore but can also be combined with a sofa to provide a beautiful array of lounging furniture with multiple purposes. There are loads of manufacturers with just as many options. Cup holders, built in trays, leather, cloth, memory foam, single motors, dual motors, heat, massage, wall-away, and size are all choices for the recliner enthusiast.
It is a proven fact that we all spend a great deal of time in the safety of our own homes enjoying whatever mode of entertainment we opt for. Nothing is more pleasing and comfortable than to have our own ‘easy chair’, one that seems to have been built just for us. As with anything in life, anything can be bought and with the recliner chair, the sky is the limit in what is available for the ride. So, an electric, rocking, swivelling, heating, massaging chair would be the Cadillac of recliner chair heaven. Not to sound crazy, but who wouldn’t want the best seat in the house.
