Reclining furniture not only feels good, but it’s also good for you! Whether you’re enjoying the big game or delving into a novel, a comfy reclining seat is beneficial for both your mental and physical health. Plus, today’s recliners are slimmer and more stylish than ever so you never have to sacrifice style over comfort!
Health Benefits of Reclining Furniture
1. Relieves Stress
Take a load off after a long, hard day! A recliner alleviates stress by offering the utmost comfort and support. When your body reclines, the spine is rested, the back is supported and the legs are elevated. This position puts your body in a state of relaxation, relieving stress and rejuvenating the mind and body.
2. Improves Circulation
If you’re sitting at your desk or standing for long periods, this causes blood to rush to your legs and feet, causing inflammation. Reclining can give your lower body some relief by elevating your feet above your heart level, allowing gravity to improve circulation naturally.
3. Reduces Back Pain
Our backs play a supportive role for our bodies, experiencing a lot of stress and fatigue during our working life. According to the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Saskatchewan, 85% of working people can expect to experience lower back pain during their lifetime, especially if their job is sedentary. A good quality recliner will offer excellent lumbar support, with the ability to reduce back pain with regular use.
4. Eases Motion
Recliner chairs have earned a high reputation for providing assistance with standing and sitting down at ease! With just a single touch of a button, you can ascend safely to a standing position with a power lift feature. This is beneficial for an individual who might face challenges while getting out of the chair or those who are at a higher risk of falls in the standing position.
