There are two kinds of electric chairs. One is strictly used for punishment. The other occupies the opposite end of the spectrum: a comfy and convenient recliner, where sitting always feels like a reward.
“Power recliner.” Just the name of this piece of furniture is enough to get us excited. Let’s maintain that enthusiasm while we nestle in deep and get cozy with the subject of power recliners!
What Is a Power Recliner Chair?
The average chair uses no electricity at all. What is this – the Dark Ages? No thank you! Please keep your obsolete sitting technology to yourself.
Now a power recliner chair – that’s different. It harnesses the pure, universal force of electric energy to provide its owner with several comfort- and convenience-enhancing features. A power recliner therefore represents the pinnacles of human achievement in both science and furniture design. Not bad for something you can put in your living room!
Exactly which kinds of life-improving features are we talking about, here? We had hoped you would ask.
Adjustability
Do you have trouble finding the perfect position in which to get comfortable? Then an adjustable power recliner is due to make your life a whole lot easier. If you get a one motor model, you’ll be able to effortlessly recline and tilt forward. If you get a two motor model, you’ll have full control over your footrest. And if you take things one motor further, you’ll control your recliner’s headrest as well.
Got back pain? A power recliner offers the lumbar support you need to feel better! Research suggests that sitting in a reclined position can actually relieve back pain. Who would have thought that putting less pressure on your spine would be good for it?
Power recliners are controlled by easy-to-reach button panels. But if you would rather wield so much control in the palm of your hand, then you may decide to add a remote operated model to your living room.
Accessibility
Do you have back issues, hip or knee arthritis, or limited mobility? Then you’ll surely understand why lift chairs are already so popular. A lift chair lifts and tilts at the press of a button, which makes it a whole lot easier to safely sit and stand.
Lift chairs are available in three models. Two-position offers standing and seated options. Three-position adds a full recline option. Infinite gives you every position the chair is capable of holding.
Medicare usually doesn’t pay the full cost of a lift chair. But if you’re on Medicare Part B or C, your insurance may cover the cost of a lift chair’s seat-lift mechanism. You just need your doctor to confirm that it’s medically necessary.
USB Ports
Picture this: It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. You’re wide awake in your living room, just staring at your phone screen. You are expecting an important call at any moment. (Say, for example, you are waiting to hear whether your cousin Greg will be inducted into the Minnesota Fishing Museum and Hall of Fame.)
Your heart skips a beat when your phone finally begins to ring. But right as you tap to answer, you notice the battery indicator. The dreaded 1%. The call is terminated the instant the screen turns into a black mirror. You’re left in interminable suspense.
All of this could have been avoided if you just bought a power recliner. The state-of-the-art furniture is available with USB ports, so you can charge your phone or tablet every time you take a load off. Never miss an important call again!
Cooling Cup Holder
Picture this: It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon. You’re sitting back, happily enjoying The Price Is Right. Plinko is next, and it’s your favorite. You decide to take a celebratory sip of your root beer, only to suffer mild disappointment when you realize that your root beer … has become lukewarm.
All of this could have been avoided if you just bought a power recliner. Many models are available with cooling cup holders, so you never have to feel unrefreshed by a beverage ever again.
Edema Management
A power assist recliner is an excellent way to help manage leg swelling. If you are living with edema and have found it difficult to position your body so your legs are resting above the height of your heart, then a power recliner solves that challenge entirely. Just push a button, lay back, and let a little electric motor do all the positioning for you.
