What are the benefits of a swivel lift chair?
The practicality of the swivel base in combination with the lift makes this multi-functioning chair a must-have. Not only is it a stylish piece but it assists those who have difficulty standing. The swivel lift chair allows seniors to move from side to side and stand comfortably. Because seniors sometimes have challenges with their lower muscle strength, maintaining some independence is critical. These chairs allow them to move freely without assistance. A powerlifting mechanism elevates these swivel recliners. In doing so, the base lifts allowing the user to stand up easily. Some refer to these chairs as medical devices. The main reason is that they help those with physical conditions.
What different styles of swivel lift chairs are there?
You'll find there are many different styles of lift chairs. Not only do they feature unique reclining options but also different configurations. They offer convenience with optional remote controls so users can easily move the chair with button controls. What's more is these swivel chairs are available in just as many fabrics and styles as traditional recliners.
- Two-position swivel lift chairs: this is the most basic style for a lift chair. It allows those who are sitting to recline at a 45-degree angle.
- Three-position option: these swivel chairs offer three positions for those who would like to go all the way back, partially back, and sit upright.
- Infinite Positioning: this swivel lift chair has a full range of reclining options including an exact sleeping position, upright, and opportunities for customizing positions.
What are the most durable materials for a swivel lift chair?
While featuring optimal comfort is the goal, durability is also crucial when choosing a swivel lift chair. These chairs will have a significant amount of use. Therefore, they must feature a solid frame construction. Picking a swivel chair featuring microfiber upholstery will help with easy maintenance and spot cleaning. A swivel lift chair with leather upholstery will feature durability, comfort, and style. However, it will take a little extra care regarding maintenance. Clean up spills immediately, as with any other upholstery, and ensure it stays dry and dust-free.
How to select the best swivel chair?
Choosing the best chair boils down to three factors including the user's preferences, the size of the chair they'll need, and the budget. When determining what size chair is optimal, the best determination is figuring out how much weight it will need to hold. Under most circumstances, a standard lift chair will accommodate three hundred pounds or more. Another factor to take into consideration is how high the user would like the backrest. Those who are taller will need a higher backrest to ensure they're receiving proper back support. Taking this into consideration will ensure the prevention of new aches and pains aren't occurring.
