When we are thinking about recliners, we think of the first two things that come to our mind
is comfort and relaxation, but some aspects of it are beyond luxury. A recliner couch or a
single seater recliner isn’t just to make you comfortable, but also to provide significant health
benefits. Whether you are dealing with poor circulation, chronic pain or stress, all you need
is the right recliner to solve your issues to some extent
In this blog, we will explore the health benefits of recliners as a smart product and what all
benefits a person can have after introducing a recliner in their daily life and why it’s an
investment to their health.
1. Improves Posture & Spinal Health
One of the main advantages about having a recliner sofa at home is that it has the ability to
support the spine and improve body posture. We have often sat on poorly designed sofas
and chairs and they don’t even have a good lumbar support. Even at this time, 48% of the
population is dealing with a lower back problem.
How a Recliner Helps:
- Lumbar support: a well-designed recliner sofa provides a good lumbar support to
prevent you from slouching and reducing pressure on the lower back - Correct spinal alignment: unlike conventional sofas, a recliner aligns our body to a
natural resting position of the spine and reduces strain on it and doing this process
over and over, the spine recovers to its natural posture - Minimizes Neck Strain: with the help of an adjustable headrest, you can reduce the
strain on your neck and get it properly aligned to prevent stiffness and discomfort.
2. Eases Back & Joint Pain
For individuals suffering from chronic back pain, arthritis or joint stiffness, the Donna lift
recliner can be a life changer, providing a good reclining angle to relieve pressure from your
body and the ability to lift up your body to a extent where getting up from a recliner won’t be
a knee or back straining issue
Health Benefits:
- Even Weight Distribution: The recliner distributes body weight evenly, reducing pressure points on hips, lower back, and shoulders, doing this our exo skeleton gets at ease and ultimately relaxes our body.
- Reduces inflammation: recliner chair has an adjustable foot rest and back to put the body at a neutral aligned position to improve our blood circulation, resulting to minimising swelling and inflammation in joints
- Therapeutic Positioning: some recliners are known as a zero gravity recliner, and they put your body in a zero gravity position, because of it, your exoskeleton doesn’t feel any body pressure, muscles get to relax and recover
3. Enhances Blood Circulation
Poor circulation often leads to swollen feet, varicose veins, and muscle cramps, recliners
introduce better blood flow by elevating legs and reducing pressure on the heart
How a Recliner Improves Circulation:
- Leg elevation: Raising your legs on a recliner reduces fluid buildup and improves venous return.
- Minimizes Risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): prolonged sitting on traditional sofas and couches can increase the risk of blood clots, as a recliner moves with the body and keeps the circulation optimal
- Promotes Oxygen Flow: recliner keeps the body in relaxed posture, allowing oxygen to circulate efficiently
4. Reduces Stress & Promotes Relaxation
What really can affect you mentally is stress and anxiety, it can really take a b ig toll on your
body, but this is where recliners come into the picture by providing a comfortable escape
from daily hustles by providing comforting and relaxing environments for your stress buster
naps.
Why a Recliner is Great for Stress Relief:
- Releases muscle tension: relaxing in a reclining position helps in loosening body muscles and relaxing
- Encourages deep breathing: when our body relaxes, our lungs expand more than usual, so by increasing oxygen intake, it reduces our stress levels.
- Creates a personal relaxation zone: whether you are in a living room or bedroom, the recliner seat offers a personal space to unwind
5. Helps with Sleep and Insomnia
Many people often struggle in getting a good night’s sleep due to discomfort, breathing
problems or chronic pain, a recliner can serve an alternative solution to your sleep issue, lets
know how
How recliner improves sleep:
- Aids in sleep apnea & snoring: Sleeping slightly in an upright position opens up airways, reduces chances of snoring and sleep apnea
- Eases acid reflux and heartburn: sleeping in a bit upright position prevents stomach acid from flowing back to the esophagus, hence reducing the probability of it
- Encourages deep sleep cycle: by comfortably positioning yourself on the recliner bed allows the body to sleep faster and stay in deep sleep longer
6. Supports mobility and independence
For senior persons, power lift recliner, Donna provides a support of assisted mobility, which
is eventually safe and comfortable seating options that enhance independence
Why recliners are beneficial for mobility:
- Assistive features: Many motorised recliners have a power lift feature that helps users transition from seating to standing in ease
- Reduces fall risk: elderly people often have issues in getting up from a chair, and many times they fall in the process, and sofa seats are low in height,t and course it is hard to stand up from that height, so power lift recliner offers a gradual lift
7. Provides ultimate Customisation & Comfort
If we are talking about a recliner, or sofa, they both are available in a huge degree of customisation and comfort, but the degree of personalisation and comfort is only available in a recliner only
What to look for in a recliner
- Adjustable Reclining positions: you get a degree of freedom of reclining in different positions, like full recline, upright seating
- Level of finishing in a product: you get a recliner in different prices and materials as the material and price point are linked, so you can go as per your needs
- Durable and supportive upholstery: you get a variety of options ranging from fabric to leather and leatherette, to make your product durable and comfortable
