Let's take a look at the Flexispot Top Five.
The Flexispot Top Five Tips for Recliner Chair Purchase
Ergonomics
At Flexispot, we know the importance of comfort and consistent body support. From physical health and minimised aches and strains, to reduction of chronic cardiovascular diseases, improved sleep and a better daily mood, quality ergonomic support in all of your daily furniture can make a huge improvement to your overall well being.
Consider a recliner chair built by ergonomic experts, offering full body support with quality materials that will last a lifetime. Head and back rests, adjustable armrests, and S-curve lumbar support are all ergonomic plus points to look out for.
Features
From USB connection ports, to cup holders and handy compact storage, there are so many additional features to be found in recliner chairs - but what do you really need? Whilst the hype of these features may initially draw you in, you may be missing out on elements you really need in a chair if you're picking unnecessary additions over practical bonus features found in another recliner chair that will serve you better.
Make sure to consider what is essential and what design additions would be a helpful bonus in your perfect recliner chair. If you see features on a recliner chair that don't sit on either of your lists; is it a feature that will add to your use of the recliner, or one you will rarely use that might even get in the way of your enjoyment and comfort?
Budget
You may have heard the common adage that "one is too poor to buy cheap things"; meaning that investment in quality products is a much wiser choice than going for the cheapest option. A quality investment that is likely a higher cost initial purchase will last you a lifetime; a trusted brand with quality construction and trusted design focus will take you a lot further than the cheapest generic offer.
The technology, design, and construction that goes into an ergonomic recliner chair is much more elaborate than your standard couch or armchair, and as such prices can range from a few £100 to several £1000. Whilst higher cost chairs are generally of a better standard, it's important to have a realistic budget that meets your individual limitations and understand the difference between justified cost and unnecessary hype.
