Back Pain Again? Find an Armchair or Sofa That Really Helps You Relax

When choosing a sofa or armchair for your living room, decisions are often based on design, but in reality, you should pay attention to seating comfort instead. A low backrest and hard seats may not provide enough support for your body, which can cause back pain and fatigue when sitting in front of the TV for long periods. Since most of us spend a large part of the day sitting, it's worth considering purchasing a comfortable recliner instead of buying a classic sofa or armchair.

What is a recliner?

Recliners are armchairs and sofas that are rapidly gaining popularity around the world, featuring an adjustable mechanism that allows the backrest to recline and the footrest to rise.

Recliner sofas and armchairs operate either with a manual control lever or electrically. In the latter case, you should ensure that there is an electrical outlet near the seating area so that the recliner sofa can be connected to the power supply.

Electric models often have a USB port attached, which allows you to charge your phone. Recliner armchairs are also available with swivel and rocking functions, which help easily change the viewing angle and position.

Advantages of recliners over traditional sofas and armchairs

Compared to classic sofas and armchairs, recliners have significant advantages.

1. Individually adjustable position

The ergonomic position of recliner sofas and armchairs offers significantly more comfort compared to traditional seating. Single-motor recliners move both the backrest and footrest at the same time. With two-motor models, the backrest and leg position can be controlled separately.

2. Beneficial for the back and neck

A high-backed recliner supports the spine and keeps the neck in the correct position. This helps prevent muscle tension and avoid pain, making it suitable for people suffering from chronic back problems as well as those who want to prevent back problems.

3. A good helper during recovery

After a long run, gardening, or a physically demanding work day, it's truly relaxing to sit on a sofa or armchair and put your feet up. This reduces the feeling of heaviness in your legs and gets the blood flowing in your legs again.

 4. An ideal choice for a relaxation corner

A recliner offers an ideal solution for those who like to read in an armchair or sofa, watch movies, and do mental work. Rocking models work well for rocking a child to sleep and even for napping in an armchair.

5. Support also in old age

A recliner is especially useful for elderly people who have difficulty getting up from a sofa. Recliners with a lift function help you stand up without straining your hips, arms, and back. This function is particularly practical in the golden years, making a recliner an ideal gift for grandparents.
