Lift Chairs - What You Need To Know
Nov 8th, 2007 by emgra
These days you can choose a lift chair to not only meet your physical needs, but also an elegant piece of furniture to match your rooms decor. Of course, the space available in your room will determine the size of lift chair most suitable for you.
The most basic lift chair is one that has no reclining positions i.e a straight backed chair. This makes the chair much lighter and portable and suitable for performing activities such as eating or working at a table or desk.
The common differentiating factor between chairs is the number of reclining positions. More electric motors are required for additional reclining positions and are therefore more expensive.
A lift chair with two reclining positions has in fact only one additional position, which is at a slight incline and suitable for reading or watching television.
One of the most popular models and suitable for most peoples requirements is the three way reclining lift chair. Some models are slimline and these space saving lift chairs are ideal for rooms where space is restricted while others, such as lift chairs with unlimited reclining positions, take up a whole lot more space. I guess that is the price you have to pay for the additional benefits provided.
It is also possible to purchase add-on accessories to provide heat and massage facilities… some deluxe lift chairs come with these features as standard.
