Here are a few things to consider when choosing a favorite lounger...
Traditional recliners should be placed about 3 feet from the wall to fully recline. For a small space, wall-hugger loungers only need to be a couple inches from the wall. These space-saving loungers do not skimp on support either, offering a weight limit of up to 500 lbs. The Ashley Nerviano has a zero-wall design, allowing you to fully relax without taking up much space.
If you have a larger space to fill, the Ashley Coombs Oversized Armchair is a “chair and a half.”This wide seat recliner leans back to almost a fully flat position. You can kick back comfortably with room to spare!
Contemporary seating, such as the chic Bernhardt Parc Power Motion, have a more modern, minimalist aesthetic. This style of chair often features clean lines, sleek fabrics, and metal accents.
The Bernhardt Middleton Power is transitional style. Transitional combines style elements that are traditional and contemporary. This chair can be a good choice for those who want a more neutral look.
Lift mechanism: A lift chair is designed to easily assist people transitioning from a seated to a standing position. It typically has a dual motorized mechanism that both reclines and raises the chair to a near-standing position, allowing the user to easily stand up with minimal effort.
People with mobility issues or disabilities, as well as elderly people often find lift chairs appealing. This type of chair is designed for anyone who may have difficulty standing from a traditional chair. The Ashley Yandel Power Lift lets you enjoy custom comfort positioning with the push of a button. This seat has the appearance of a leather recliner but is covered in a cozy feel-good fabric.
Massagers: Some loungers come with built-in massagers that use vibration or heat to relax muscles and improve circulation.
Cup holders: These are small compartments or holders built into the chair where you can place a drink or snack while you relax.
Storage: Many have built-in storage compartments or pockets where you can keep books, magazines, remotes, or other small items. The Ashley Screen Time Power offers a cupholder and discreet storage on both arms of the one-touch control power button. This seating option is perfect for a home theater.
Remote control: Many power armchairs come with a remote control that allows you to adjust the reclining angle and other features of the chair without reaching too far.
USB ports: Some recliners have built-in USB ports that allow you to charge your devices while you relax in the chair. The Bernhardt Blake Power Motion Recliner is both stylish and functional, offering a USB port next to the power reclining push button.
Swivel base: Some armchairs are mounted on a swivel base, which allows them to rotate in a circular motion. This can be convenient if you want to easily access items in different parts of the room.
