recliner chairRecliner Chair
A recliner chair ;reclines when the occupant lowers the chair’s back and raises its front. It has a backrest that can be tilted back, and often a footrest that may be extended by means of a lever on the side of the chair, or may extend automatically when the back is reclined. A recliner is also known as a reclining chair, lounger, and armchair. Modern recliners often feature an adjustable headrest, lumbar support, and an independent footstool that adjusts with the weight and angle of the user’s legs to maximize comfort. Additional features include heat, massage, and vibration. Some models are wheelchair accessible. Recliners can also accommodate a near supine position for sleeping (making them multifunctional furniture) and are common in airplanes and trains, as well as in homes.

Recliners with casters

Traditional home recliners are generally intended to be large immobile objects that never move and must be dragged or carried to be moved. Now home furniture manufacturers produce a thick padded leather or overstuffed fabric recliner with casters. Recliners with casters are also designed for a medical setting such as for use in a nursing home or hospital. Medical recliners often have accessory hooks and an optional removable arm and tray table.

Wall hugger recliners

Used for apartments, the wall hugger recliner is used to save space. A wall hugger recliner is positioned with inches between itself and the wall and only reclines forward. This is achieved by utilizing a gliding mechanism underneath the seat that pushes the bottom half of the chair forward so the back of the recliner never gets any closer to the wall thus ensuring efficient usage of space.

Riser armchairs

A riser armchair or lift chair includes a standing-up system, for the elderly and people with limited mobility.

Power vs. Manual Recliner: Pros, Cons, and More
When it comes to recliners, finding the perfect one for your home can be a challenge. Do you opt for something with power so you can recline with the push of a button? Or do you prefer a manual recliner chair ;that requires a little effort, but offers more of an aesthetic appeal?

Whether power or manual, you want a recliner that’s comfortable and on par with your style preferences. There are pros and cons to each, and we’re here to break them down so you can make the best decision for your home!

Pros

Manual recliner chairs are a bit more carefree than power recliners. They have the flexibility to go anywhere in your house, they tend to be less bulky, and many styles don’t look like a “typical recliner.”

The Viceroy Recliner and Burke Re-Invented Recliner are two stylish and sneaky options – you wouldn’t know they recline until you push them back!

Some manual recliners, like the Quinton Re-Invented Recliner, can be equipped with power as long as the manufacturer has the ability to do so. If there’s a manual recliner you like that has this option, be sure to let your designer know when you go to purchase it so the manufacturer can build in space for the motor.

Cons

One significant con of a manual recliner is that it requires more effort to push it back. If you find that you struggle with this, it may not be the best option for you.

It’s important to note, however, that not all manual recliners are the same. As far as ease of use goes, Stephanie said, “Stressless recliners are probably the easiest to push back because of their continuous mechanism.”

Electric Recliner Chair
An electric recliner chair ;allows you to recline with the simple push of a button and needs to be plugged into a wall outlet.

Pros

A significant pro of an electric recliner chair is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s a great choice for someone who wants to come home and instantly relax or the individual who likes a little luxury in their life.

Electric Recliner Chair may also benefit those with an injury or limited mobility because they require less effort to use. ;

Cons

One con of electric recliner chairs is that most need to be close to an outlet in order for them to work. You can, however, purchase a separate battery pack so you have the ability to float your recliner and place it anywhere in your home.

Because power recliners are motorized, their longevity may not be the same as manual recliners.

Additionally, electric recliner chairs tend to look bulkier and have the appearance of a recliner whereas a manual recliner blends in a bit easier with your décor. However, this is subjective and comes down to your style preferences.

Gaming chair health benefits for computer users
Ergonomic advantages of a gaming chair

Standard office chairs force users into static sitting positions. Over full-time sitting hours, that leads to poor posture, joint strain, lethargy, and discomfort. In stark contrast, gaming chairs ;are “ergonomic”. That means they come with adjustable components that meet modern ergonomic standards. Those emphasize two essential qualities. The first is the presence of adjustable parts that support a healthy sitting posture. Second, features that promote movement while sitting.

Effective posture support

A racing-style gaming chair comes with a padded bucket seat, high back, and backrest cushions. The cushions adjust to support the spine’s natural curves. Adjustable armrests provide extra spinal relief by absorbing the weight of the arms. Gaming chairs enable long computing sessions with comfortable features that support the spine. For best results, follow the steps outlined in our gaming chair user guide. Start by adjusting the seat height so your feet rest flat on the floor. Then adjust the pillows. Slide the lumbar pillow into the small of your back. Adjust the headrest to cradle your neck. Then lean your body into the backrest. That aligns the legs, hips, back, and upper body into an optimal position for upright desk work. It also absorbs the weight of the body, holding it up against gravity. As a result, the spine and muscles get spared from having to overexert.

Opportunities to move while sitting

Many ergonomic scientists suggest that there is no “perfect” sitting position. Instead, the body needs to move, rarely assuming static postures. For example, it only takes one hour of static sitting to shorten the spine. Conversely, using a dynamic swiveling seat pan while sitting expands the spine and promotes flexibility. That shows how seated spinal stimulation helps to mitigate the risks of sedentary habits. In a gaming chair, users can easily alter their position to engage the arms, back, abdominal, or leg muscles. Small movements keep muscles active — without strain. That boosts circulation, strengthens core muscles, and keeps the mind engaged.

Gaming chairs promote movement while sitting in a few ways. First, users can angle the backrest a few degrees back or forward every so often. Second, they can adjust the lumbar or neck pillows as they recline or lean forward in the chair. A third option is to adjust the armrests, which freshen up the arms and shoulders. On pro-quality gaming chairs, users can also tilt and lock the seat at different angles.

Pros of PU Gaming Chairs
Affordability ;

PU leather is pretty darn affordable, especially when compared with authentic top or full-grain leather. Yes, this is because it isn’t the most desirable part of the animal, but it is still a big factor for gamers who want to save money.

Aesthetics

From afar, the PU gaming chair ;looks nearly identical to regular leather. The differences are really only noticed when you get closer, and most average people won’t be able to tell either way. Only people who have experience with leather will know that this isn’t top-grain – and how many people do you know that are both hardcore gamers and leather connoisseurs?

Mostly Immune to Spills and Stains

Thanks to the glossy, smooth surface of PU Leather chairs, they are virtually immune to damage from liquid or other substances that may come in contact with them. Most of the time, you can just wipe the substance right off the chair and get right back to gaming. So, if you spill your sugary soda on your chair, just flick it off the side and sit back down. However, it might help to spray it down with water just so it doesn’t get sticky. This same quality means that things likely aren’t going to stain the chair either. Even red wine will be easy to wipe off. ;

Durability

Despite being the cheaper type of leather (and technically not real leather), PU Leather is still pretty durable. You can’t just take a knife and start cutting it up, but it should hold up to a person sitting and spilling on it for several years.

It will certainly start to wear and show its age, but it will function just the same and remain as comfortable as it was when you bought it. In fact, it might even get more comfortable as you break it in.
