Lift Chair Features
Like any other recliner, lift chairs come with various features and benefits. Some of Slumberland’s lift chairs have a power recline feature, which is perfect for anyone who wants to relax after a long day. This feature is further beneficial for anyone who has back problems, as reclining in this way relieves a lot of the pressure on the lower back area. Some Slumberland lift chairs even come with a massage function, perfect for anyone whose back gets tight as the day progresses. The massage feature of our lift chairs offers unparalleled relaxation. Leather recliners are another popular feature we offer at Slumberland. Leather recliners are durable, last for years, and even come with power headrests.
Many of our lift chairs also have an adjustable headrest, which means you can shift the angle at which your neck is propped up. This has a lot of utility for those who often have sore necks, as the adjustability of this feature is likely to help with this issue. Some of our lift chairs also have a USB port so that you can maintain a full charge on all your devices while seated. Keep your tablet or phone charged while relaxing in your lift chair recliner! Many of our lift chairs also have a wall–hugging feature, which renders them very unobtrusive in the room in which they are. In this way, you can make sure that your lift chair is not taking up too much of your space.
How Do Lift Chairs Work?
Lift chairs are seats that contain a powerful lift system that hoists the base of the chair forward, assisting you in standing up. These chairs are supremely useful to those of us who have trouble transitioning from a seated to a standing position and vice-versa.
Who Benefits From a Lift Chair?
Anyone with trouble with mobility, particularly in the hips and knees, will benefit from a lift chair.
DIFFERENT LIFT CHAIR RECLINER DESIGNS
Lift chair recliners have three defining characteristics: they have a lift mechanism, they're built like luxury recliners and easy chairs, and they have simple controls. Within those parameters, there are several different lift chair recliner designs.
TWO-POSITION
A two-position electric power lift chair reclines about 45 degrees as a footrest flips out into position. The footrest cannot be operated independently of the chair's motion. This type of design can be used for sitting, watching TV, and reading. However, they are not ideal for sleeping since they do not move into a fully reclined position. They are generally smaller than other designs, which makes them a good choice for smaller spaces. And since they don't recline all the way, they can be placed closer to the wall.
THREE-POSITION
A three-position power lift chair can recline completely or almost flat (180 degrees), making it a chair for sitting and napping. When the chair reclines, the footrest flips out automatically and cannot be moved independently of the chair. Some models offer therapeutic heat and basic massage, increasing their therapeutic value.
INFINITE POSITION
An infinite position lift chair has all the bells and whistles, is plush, and is designed for people who will spend most of their day in the chair. They can recline into almost any position, including the feet above the heart and the Zero Gravity position that aligns the spine and improves circulation.
Infinite lift chairs usually come with massage and heat functions. They have dual motors so that the footrest and the recliner can be moved independently of each other.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIAL FOR YOUR LIFT CHAIR & POWERED RECLINER
While power lift chairs are solid and durable, they are also designed to blend into your décor and go with your decorating and aesthetic style. Choosing the right model often involves how it looks in your home.
Lift chairs and power recliners come in a variety of designs, styles, color options, and fabrics (e.g., leather lift chairs). The fabric on a lift chair recliner is a crucial decision that goes beyond appearance. Some fabrics are more durable, stain-resistant, and softer than others. Comfort and breathability are also significant factors to consider.
Things to consider when choosing the material covering a lift chair include:
- Breathability – airflow becomes an issue when sitting in a lift chair for long periods.
- Spills and stains – modern fabric and chemical stain protection make it easier to find material without worrying about spills and stains.
- Personal preference – keeping the first two considerations in mind, choose one that goes with your style and living room décor.
Today's lift chairs and power recliners offer a range of choices in styles from classic to contemporary to elegant. Armed with this information, you'll be able to find a model that balances style, design, and comfort in equal measure.
Slumberland’s lift chairs are available in a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. We will go into more detail about the pros and cons of each material below.
FABRIC
This is a fantastic material for a lift chair. Fabric is the most commonly used material on sofas, and it is the least expensive too. Additionally, the fabric is very easy to clean, although it also stains easily. Simply use detergent or whatever household cleaner you would use on clothes to clean this material.
LEATHER
The look and feel of genuine leather are unbeatable. It is a classy and refined material that is extremely durable and long-lasting. Leather is also incredibly difficult to stain and will retain its brightness for a long time with proper care. The only practical shortcomings of genuine leather are the price and the difficulty in removing stains if they do occur.
MICROFIBER
This material is perfect for those who prize comfort as a top priority in their furniture. Microfiber is exceedingly soft and comfortable while also being reasonably durable. However, microfiber stains easily, as it is very absorbent. Fortunately, these stains can be easily gotten out with common household cleaners, much like fabric.
VINYL
Classic good looks with superior durability to fabric characterize vinyl. It may be the perfect material for your lift chair. It is relatively easy to clean vinyl, and it stains with a bit more difficulty than, say, fabric. Vinyl is also relatively inexpensive, making it a good all-around option for anyone looking for a lift chair.
