The Advantages of Power Lift Recliner Chairs

Power lift recliner chairs are used by those who find it difficult to get in and out of a seated position. They provide assistance especially to individuals who suffer arthritis and are also quite useful for people joint, knee back or hip problems, and for people who have just had a major surgery.  These chairs use electric motor(s) to lift a person to a standing position and recline the chair back. Some people do not have the strength to operate a manual recliner, especially the elderly and so these electric chairs are used to solve this problem. The best part of this recliner is that all of this can be accomplished by just clicking a button.

There are many types of power recliners and there are many variations so that the user can have a chair based on his needs and requirements. The two-positioned chairs are quite inexpensive and the Golden Tech value series is perfect for those on a budget. The aim of two-position power recliners is to lift the person in and out of a chair, plus with two positions for comfortable sitting and reclining. These chairs recline to a 45 degree angle. This angle is generally used if a person wants to watch television.

Three-position lift chairs can give much of the flexibility you many need. It is more suitable for people who occasionally take naps. These chairs lay further back unlike two-positioned ones. The back and legs of a person move into a position at the same time. If you are looking for a safe and comfortable chair, then this type of chair is just for you. It comes with a lifetime warranty and is also equipped with a backup battery in case there is no electricity.

The History of Reclining Lift Chairs

The history of reclining lift chairs is quite interesting. In 1813, a British periodical named Ackennann’s Repository of Arts published the designs of a reclining lift chair. This design was one of the earliest designs ever published.  After that, there were several such chairs that were made throughout the century with the help of a prototype of the “reclining patent chair”.  In 1855, the streets of New York were filled with advertisements named “Improved Patent Self Acting Rec lining, Elevating, and Revolving Recumbent Sofas.”  This advertisement was made possible by Browne and Ash who were running an upholstery and cabinet making business. An easy form of the reclining chair was devised by a cabinet maker named George Henkels. This chair had minimum complicated machinery.
 
A more modern and modified form of this device was devised by William Watt in the late nineteenth century.  The mechanism was simplified even further than Henkels’ model. The chair had a series of pegs that enabled the back of the armchair to rest and recline against the pegs or metal rods. The wooden frames were quite massive but had upholstered cushions for the back and seat. It was named “Morris Chair” and was manufactured after 1883 by Morris and Company, a decorative arts manufacturing firm. This firm was founded by William Morris and advertised under his name.
 
And so, more and more chairs were produced that were more innovative, comfortable and user friendly chairs that could be reclined with ease. Today, reclin ing lift chairs can be found in many types as well as in assorted colors. Chairs have a metal mechanism that is activated by the user. These chairs are also called motion or action furniture because they can move or can change shape. Some chairs can be activated by pulling a lever; others are activated by pushing the chair with some force.
 
There are many styles of reclining lift chairs that are available in shops. The best way is to order online as one can choose from a wide variety. Most of these websites offer a wide range of chairs to suit everybody’s needs. They offer a variety of designs and styles to matches an individual’s personality. You can also get chairs for various positions depending on what you really need.  Chairs with two-positioned mechanisms recline to an approximately 45 degree angle. They are mainly used for seating purpose. The functions are generally controlled by using hand controls and are fully motorized.
 
So, what does this have to do with us these days?   Well, if you want your chair to adjust to any angle and provide maximum comfort, switch to three-positioned or infinite position chairs. Just like the two-positioned chairs, these too are fully motorized (with two or even three motors) and the controls can be easily manipulated using a "tv-like" remote control.
 
Infinite positioned chairs allow you to have a very relaxing experience. The footrest operates independently and you can manipulate the footrest independently from the chair because of the two separate motors. You can also have your back at a 90 degree angle with the feet raised to whatever position(s) you would like.  These chairs come in a variety of fabrics; from leather coverings to vinyl to synthetic. Leather chairs are preferred by individuals as they are very comfortable.  Even better is the Brisa synthetic leather from Golden Technologies.  All the benefits of leather, but softer, more durable and less stain resistant.

Lift Chair Extended Warranty. A Good Idea?

Is purchasing an extended warranty for your new lift chair a good idea and worth the money?

It's understandable when purchasing an new item, whether a lift chair or something like a new television to ask yourself if spending a little extra money is worth it.   I guess it depends on the person and their circumstances.  You see, if you're having difficulty moving around or other basic movements…its probably a no-brainer.  For instance, with an extended warranty from Golden Technology, it' as easy as making one phone call to have it taken care of…end of story.  For me personally, that makes a lot of sense for peace of mind it gives me and is well worth the money.
