Wall-hugger recliners are the ones that are best used in smaller rooms as they take less space compared to any other type of recliner. Most recliners are both rocker and wall-hugger recliners. A wall-hugger will let you sit up straight, making it easier for you to get up. There's also less movement involved. They're recommended for those who have bad knees.
Lift Chairs
A lift chair has a motorized mechanism which pushes the chair upwards, making it a lot easier to leave the seat. Lift chairs are often used by people who have limited capacity in using their legs. They're especially useful for people with weak knees. Because lift chairs are available in different sizes and shapes, it's easy to get one that fits your specific body type. Because of the motorized mechanism that's been added to a lift chair, it can be a little expensive.

Massage recliners, our personal favorite, are some of the most comfortable recliners around! The best ones even come with their own heating function. They'll massage your back, as well as your legs. The lifting and reclining will be done by the chair for you. After a long and tiring day at work, you'll find the massage recliner to be a godsend!
