When choosing upholstered furniture, we think first of all about comfort. A recliner chair is able to provide a person with a high level of relaxation. This chair has its own specificity that distinguishes it from other types of furniture. Its task is to create the most favorable rest for tense muscles, reduce the load on the spine, relax the shoulder girdle and neck, and relieve muscle spasms of stressed legs.

Peculiarities

The recliner chair is a convertible with a reclining backrest and a raised footrest. Depending on the configuration, such furniture may have a built-in audio system, massager, heating, aromatherapy function.

The main difference between this type of furniture is the possibility of transformation. The backrest leans back and is fixed in several positions, up to horizontal. The seats are equipped with an electric drive and are equipped with a sliding footrest. The back of the product takes into account the peculiarities of human anatomy, thanks to which the spine is supported in the most favorable position.

The headrest can be tilted.

The assortment includes orthopedic models, models for the disabled and the elderly. The backs and armrests of such furniture can be adjusted to the individual parameters of a person. Manufacturers produce chairs with a 360-degree rotation and a rocking function. These models are ideal for nursing mothers. For tall people, as well as obese, there is an opportunity to choose the appropriate model. Recliners are also produced with a position memory function.

The disadvantages include the bulkiness of the furniture. Before buying, you need to decide where such a chair will be located. It is quite voluminous even when folded, and when the backrest is folded back and the footrest is extended, it takes up much more space. And of course, the price tag. This is expensive furniture, as well as its repair.

Device

By design features, recliner chairs are divided into 2 types.

Mechanical recliner

Chairs of this type are cheaper and easier. The transformation takes place by means of force - to activate the mechanism, a slight pressure on the back is enough. There is a slow recline, with a gradual extension of the footrest. To speed up the process, many chairs are equipped with a lever. The footrest can be retracted manually. Such a mechanism is not very convenient, but it significantly reduces the price, is more durable, and is less prone to breakdowns.

Recliner with electric drive

For models with electric drive has its own characteristics:

  • there must be a connection to the power supply;
  • a chair with rotation is controlled by buttons, remote control, touch panel;
  • a working chair makes a slight noise similar to a buzzing;
  • there are control buttons located in the armrest;
  • can have the function of a massager;
  • equipped with lithium batteries;
  • can have 2 drives - in the backrest and the footrest;

Varieties

Recliner chairs cannot boast of a wide variety of designs, there are more differences in design. Let's consider the main varieties.

Classic models

Classics are voluminous armchairs with soft headrests and armrests, on low legs. Fits well with classic interiors. Thanks to new types of upholstery, brighter but more durable, they organically fit into modern interior design.

Rotating base

A rotating recliner with a rocker function is much more expensive than other products.However, the presence of such convenient functions make it no less in demand. Rotation around its axis makes it easy to reach the desired object.

Relax models

Relax is always recognizable. The characteristic feature is the round base. Separate ottoman for feet. This model looks stylish and is quite compact compared to classic recliners.

Manufactured in 2 versions - with mechanical and electrical drive.

Lift Up Models

Some manufacturers make chairs with a special Lift up option. This option is intended for people who are elderly or sick with limited ability to get up and down. This version of the recliner solves the problem, it is enough to come up and slightly cuddle. The chair can be lowered with the person, and when it rises, it takes an almost vertical position.

How to choose?

First you need to decide what type of mechanism you prefer. When choosing a mechanic, you need to consider that the main advantage lies in the lower price. It takes physical effort to fold and unfold the transformer. In the electric version, it is enough to press the button. Smart options have a memorization function that allows them to memorize their “favorite” incline options. If desired, you can order additional equipment.

Among the manufacturers, there are several that have proven themselves in the furniture market:

  • Imtex Furniture (Tomsk);
  • Indstyle (St. Petersburg);
  • "Furniture Factory 8 March" (Nizhny Tagil).

Immediately before purchasing the selected product, it is necessary to check the operation of the mechanism, lever, buttons, the very base. You should pay attention to what weight the chair is designed for. Feet should reach the floor. Decide on the features you need, you should not overpay for what you will not use.

Pay attention to the upholstery fabric. Cheap fabrics are not used in the production of this type of furniture, even synthetics are selected of high quality. The upholstery is usually made of leather. Tapestry is also used as upholstery - an interesting material that resembles a carpet.
