Types of Recliner

When choosing a recliner, consider what you’ll need and want it for the most. If you struggle with back pain, then all types of recliner will provide the same basic function of reclining back. This relieves pressure and tension in the upper and lower back. Using a recliner also helps with good posture and positioning. Especially when compared to sitting on a normal chair or sofa.

Rocker recliners do exactly what the name suggests. They rock back and forth as well as reclining, which can help you doze off if you have trouble sleeping. A surprising amount of people use their recliners to sleep!

If you’re looking for the ultimate relaxation chair, then a massage recliner is just what you need. As well as reclining, these chairs will massage your back and legs, and some come with a heating function.

If the traditional recliner look isn’t for you, they’re also available in wing-back chair designs and contemporary styles. Whatever the style of your home, there’s bound to be recliners designed to suit your taste.

If you have weak knees or limited use of your legs, then a lift chair recliner is a great option for you. They are motorised so that the seat is lifted up from the base of the chair. Lift chairs make it much easier to get back up once you’re done relaxing.

Custom Recliners

Recliners can often be made to your exact specifications. Especially useful if your reason for getting a recliner is related to back or neck problems rather than just purely for relaxation. But a custom made recliner can also mean you’re getting the ultimate chair. For relaxation with a recliner tailored specifically to your requirements.
