Buying Guide

Most of us think little about the chairs that we sit in. However, when someone with a disability looks for a seat, several questions arise. Will I have difficulty standing up once I sit down? Is this chair secure enough to hold my heavy frame? Will my shoulders hurt due to the low back of the chair? These are just a few questions that may go through the mind of a disabled person before accepting a seat. Be conscious as to their needs and consider some of these options when selecting armchairs for disabled individuals.

What features to look for in armchairs for the disabled?

Armchairs for the disabled are made for those that have problems in sitting and rising, so look for models whose seat level is higher than normal at 22 inches. A power remote puts you in charge of infinite positions with ease. A great way to relax without asking for assistance. A model built with solid wood and quality metal coils guarantees strength and durability, while soft leather-like saddle materials will make the armchair an impressive lounger in any decor.
