Find the perfect spot for a comfy sanctuary
ARISE and recline chair is a brilliant asset for the home, as it can help you sit and stand up with ease and retain independence.
When you recline, you can find a position that supports your back and eases tension. And using the leg rest to raise your feet off the ground gives a feeling of instant relaxation and can help to reduce swelling.
What’s more, the rise action can help you get to your feet safely without strain — great for those with conditions such as arthritis.
But where is the best place to put your new chair? When they are fully reclined they can be quite bulky, although there are tilt-in-space versions that will sit neatly against the wall.
The living room is the obvious choice, as it’s the heart of the home where you can relax while enjoying all the comfort and support you need.
If you need some extra space to accommodate it, putting up shelves, moving furniture around and having a good clear-out can help make room.
Sitting near a heat source can be soothing — but you don’t need a fire to warm your joints, as many chairs can now be factory fitted with a heat or massage function, making them even more relaxing.
There’s nothing like putting up your feet while watching TV. If yours takes up lots of room, a wall-mounted television might be the answer, leaving plenty of space to recline.
Do you have a conservatory? This is another good spot for a chair, providing a calm sanctuary to spend some ‘me-time’ in.
And having a rise and recline chair in your home office provides a perfect spot for a study break.
A rise and recline chair is also an ideal book buddy. Who doesn’t love curling up with a book in their reading corner? The chair will fully support your whole body while you read and then help you get up once you’ve finished a few chapters.
