Recliner Buying Guide
The Only Recliner Buying Guide You’ll Ever Need
By Sarah Quek
You might have remembered playing around with your elders’ recliner chairs when you were a kid. While recliners are good fun for adolescents, they actually serve a greater purpose.
Recliners actually have various health benefits. For instance, they are known to relieve pain in the back, shoulders and neck, improve blood circulation throughout the body, mitigate stiff and aching joints and soothe an anxious mind.
Some recliners we have in our living room collection include manual, motor, slim & firm as well as plushy & large.
However, picking a recliner is a lot like picking a shoe. You would want comfort as well as practicality. In fact, failing to pick the right recliner for your body might result in aches and pains (which defeats the purpose of getting a recliner in the first place).
Luckily for you, we are here to help. Follow our guide to choosing the best recliner for your body!
1. Check the Space Available
While the primary purpose of a recliner may be to optimize your health, you wouldn’t want your living room to feel cramp because of it. When shopping for a recliner, check its measurements to ensure that you still have ample space in your apartment to walk and move about freely.
Selected recliner sofas from Cellini are equipped with near wall mechanism – a special design feature that
allows the sofa to be placed close to the wall. Such mechanism saves space, as the sofa inclines forward and outward, and does not require space at the back.
2. Access Your Health and Physique
Do you have pain in your neck? Do you have mobility issues?
Since the ultimate goal of recliners is pain relief and comfort, you would want to get a recliner that can tackle points on your body that are giving you pain.
For instance, if you or your loved one has mobility issues, opt for a motorised recliner
so that you needn’t exert any energy when reclining. Likewise, our Mila Manual Recliner Leather Sofa is firm yet comfortable enough to provide sufficient support for individuals who have back pain.
3. Try It Out
When you head to a showroom, find a recliner that fits your body and keeps pressure points like the head, shoulders, lumbar, knees and feet comfortable. Comfort aside, the best recliner should also feel stable and safe.
4. Consider Your Living Conditions
Do you intend to enjoy a TV dinner in your recliner?
Will your kids play around with the recliner?
In this aspect, choose a material which best suits your living style. For example, if you enjoy your daily TV dinners, choose a leather recliner for easy maintenance or Fabric Gard material as it would be resistant to stains. And if you need your phones close by while you lay back and relax, simply plug it in – some of our recliners comes in-built with USB charging ports.
Recline Your Way to Good Health
Even if your bodily pains aren’t severe at the moment, it might be worth looking into getting a recliner chair for your living space to mitigate the discomfort. After all, you can’t put a price on your health!
