Things To Consider Before Buying a Chair
- Your weight and height
- Your strength – will you require help transferring?
- The chair’s purpose – eating, relaxing, supporting or pressure relieving?
- Length of time you will use it daily
- Do you need a portable or adjustable model?
Living Room Chairs
If you need a chair to relax in, a liftchair is a great idea. Armchairs are designed to give the user both comfort and support. You can select from a single or dual motor seat, which can recline to stretch your back or elevate your feet. If you want a chair that keeps your legs elevated without the need to recline the backrest, a dual motor chair is an excellent choice. For better lumbar support, a high-back chair is the best fit, designed to relieve pressure from the back and encourage good posture.
