The Power of Recline
Lay down, stretch out, curl up, tuck your feet in. We don’t just sit on our sofas, we contort our bodies in all sorts of positions to get comfortable. So why not recline? After a long day, there’s nothing better than to stretch out in your comfortable recliner and relax, watch a movie, or take a nap….ahhhh.
And with power, it’s a smooth ride. There’s no lever with a jerky motion that throws you back in the chair, and there’s no need to use your body weight and a death grip on the arms to push back. With a power recliner. you can safely hold a hot coffee (cold beer?) or snacks in one hand and with a simple push of the button, recline.
The pros and cons of a power recliner
The manual labour needed to use traditional recliners doesn't work for everyone, and that's why a power recline can benefit those with an injury or reduced mobility. Along with being easier to operate, power recliners have a nearly infinite amount of positions, so you can choose whatever setting is the most comfortable for you. Not to mention the smooth transition from watching TV or reading a book to a full recline for taking a nap.So what are the pros and cons of buying power recline?
Pros:
- Many models include a battery pack option to create a cordless piece that can float in the middle of your room.
- Easy to operate and adjust to find the perfect position for you.
- Some models have USB ports on the control panel to easily charge your devices while lounging.
- Contemporary and modern design – you can’t tell it’s a recliner!
- Sofa and sectional models with multiple reclining seats, so there's never a bad seat.
- Minimal clearance is required for many models, meaning it won’t take up unnecessary space in your room and can go right next to the wall.
Cons:
- More expensive than a standard sofa.
- Power cords across the floor (although this con is solved with the battery pack option).
