Recliner Chairs
What are Reclining Chairs?
Recliner Chairs are exactly as they sound, Armchairs or Sofas which feature reclining backs and often a footstool which lifts up to support your feet while in the reclined position. Recliner Chairs have many additional features depending on how much you are willing to spend, but generally feature the foot-support as a standard feature. Other features include headrests, additional lower back support and sometimes a foots-support that can be used independently from the rest of the chair in order to maximise comfort for the user.
How are Recliner Chairs operated?
There are many different styles of Recliner Chairs and Sofas which are all operated in different ways, some are operated manually while others feature an electric motor which allows the user to recline the chair without any additional effort. Originally recliner chairs were designed with a lever that when pulled, allowed the weight of the user to push the chair into the reclined position. There are levers of all different designs, some modern manual Recliner Chairs feature push buttons which act in the same way as a lever. In more recent years, Recliner Chairs feature an electric reclining backrest which is operated by a remote linked to the chair, or even just two buttons on the side of the chair, one for moving the backrest into an upright position, the other for lowering the backrest. These types of Recliner Chair were mainly designed for those without the strength or manoeuvrability to pull the lever. It also helped those who might not be suited to the faster recline of a manual Recliner Chair.
What materials are Recliner Chairs made from?
Just like any armchair the materials used in Recliner Chairs vary greatly depending on the design. For the external material anything from leather to various fabrics just like most chairs. In fact some simpler Recliner Chairs such as Sun Beds and Benches are made purely of wood with detachable cushions for added comfort. Some more modern Recliner Chairs are made from leather or fabric covered memory foam for added support and comfort. Memory Foam Recliner Chairs are designed to help those with limited mobility in order to stop conditions such as sores and rashes caused by constant pressure of a standard filling. Memory Foam also helps support individuals with joint problems, aches and pains and arthritis as it offers significantly more support than alternatives. Memory Foam Recliner Chairs, although more expensive, often remove the need for additional lower back support.
