Is your favourite chair worn out?
THERE are many reasons for purchasing a new chair. Perhaps you are moving house and feel the need for some new decor. Your joints may be getting creaky and you crave a more supportive chair, or maybe your favourite one is simply worn out!
Modern reclining chairs work by tilting back and raising the legs to support the body in a relaxed position.
As well as being a great way to nap or read your favourite book, this position has been shown to improve circulation and ease symptoms of indigestion — a positive solution if you’re partial to a snooze after a meal. While many are available, bespoke chairs that are made to measure for your own use will provide support in the right places and will minimise pressure on the joints and bones.
This enhances comfort for any user, but is especially important for people with arthritis, or anyone who will spend a lot of time in the chair, as it significantly reduces the risk of pressure sores. Rise and recliner chairs do everything that recliner chairs do, with the added function of a forward tilt to assist users getting out of the chair. This is convenient for individuals who can move around independently, but lack the core strength to push themselves up.
For long-term use, it’s always worth getting a riser recliner to futureproof against potential mobility issues. Though a simple addition, the rise function can have a great impact in prolonging independence, as you don’t have to wait for help to get up.

Once you’ve decided, you can put your feet up, relaxing in the knowledge you’ve picked the very best chair for your personal situation. Bliss!
