There isn’t anything like coming home at the end of a long day at work and taking refuge in your personal oasis – your recliner chair. While taking refuge in a comfy recliner is a great way to wind down after a hectic day in the office, shopping for a recliner isn’t nearly as relaxing. In fact, shopping for living room furniture can be a stressful endeavor if you’re not sure about the factors you should consider to choose between all the recliners available in the marketplace.
The professionals at our Fort Wayne, IN furniture and design store don’t believe that shopping for a recliner should be a burden in any way. Instead, it should be a fun process that will end with you picking a reclining chair that will keep you comfy and relaxed for 10 years or more with regular use. Being familiar with the things you should keep in mind while you shop will help make buying a recliner a fun-filled, rewarding undertaking.
Your Aesthetic
Whether you’re going to keep your current aesthetic or you have plans to redesign the entire room where your recliner will take up real estate, it’s important to consider the room’s style. Recliners are readily available in a wide variety of styles so take your time and find one that will fit your aesthetic seamlessly. If “stately” is your style, you might want to look through the recliners manufactured by Bernhardt.
Space
The space that’s available for your recliner is another important consideration that will influence which recliner you ultimately purchase. Measure the space that you’ll allot to your recliner and keep those measurements in mind as you’re shopping.
Taylor King produces recliners in two forms, chairs and sectionals. If you want reclining furniture that can accommodate more than one person, you may want to choose a sectional. People who want to be the sole occupant of their recliner will likely want a singular recliner chair.
Physical Limitations
Recliners are offered with several different kinds of reclining mechanisms. It’s crucial to think about the type of mechanism you want a chair to have, particularly if its primary user has any limitations that may make it a challenge for the person to get the chair into a comfortable position with physical effort.
Here are some of the recliners that have different reclining mechanisms you may want to consider:
● Pushback recliners: These recliners require a user to push themselves back while holding the chair’s arms. They have no lever or power controls to help a person lean back or return to an upright position.
● Lever and handle recliner chairs: This type of recliner uses a lever, handle or another kind of pulling device that will recline the chair when activated.
● Power recliners: Power recliners require you to push a button to recline the chair or return it to its original position.
● Lift recliners: Lift chair recliners work similarly to their power brethren, but they take things a step further by helping users rise from their seat. A lot of these chairs allow users to lay completely flat if they choose to do so.
