Make Senior Living Easier with Ashley Canada
Ashley Canada’s senior living furniture is built around one clear idea: making your home feel easier. From power-lift recliners that gently bring you to a standing position, to mattresses and adjustable beds for seniors that support a full night’s sleep, this is furniture chosen for comfort and accessibility for everyday use. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a parent, you’ll find options that span the living room and bedroom.
Recliners That You Need
Let our lift chairs and power-lift recliners with motorized bases that tilt the chair forward and upward help you rise from seating without putting pressure on your knees or hips. It is a practical choice for anyone managing joint pain, post-surgery recovery, or reduced mobility. Our Rocker recliners offer a gentler alternative with a soothing back-and-forth motion, while zero gravity recliners recline to a position that distributes body weight evenly and takes pressure off the spine. For tighter rooms, a wall-hugger recliner only needs a few inches of clearance to recline fully, which matters in smaller spaces such as condos, apartments, or smaller bedrooms.
Before You Buy
Seat height is the first thing to check. High seat chairs make standing noticeably easier compared to low, deeply cushioned sofas. Firm seat cushions matter too. Soft ones feel comfortable at first but make rising harder over time. If back pain is a factor, a recliner with lumbar support keeps the spine properly positioned rather than letting it sink. And when shopping for chairs for elderly family members, bring them along if at all possible. Fit is personal and difficult to judge without sitting in the chair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lift chair? A lift chair is a motorized recliner with a base that tilts forward to help you rise to a near-standing position. It functions as a regular recliner day-to-day and is a practical option for anyone managing limited mobility or joint pain.
What is a wall hugger recliner? A wall hugger recliner reclines forward rather than backward, requiring only a few inches of wall clearance. It is a good fit for smaller rooms, condos, or any space where a standard recliner will not fit.
What is the difference between a power recliner and a power lift recliner? A power recliner adjusts the backrest and footrest electronically but stays on the floor. A power lift recliner does the same and also raises the entire chair to help you stand.
What are the best recliners for seniors? Power lift recliners, rocker recliners, and zero gravity recliners are the most popular picks for seniors. Look for firm seat cushions, lumbar support, and a seat height that makes getting up easy.
What mattress is best for seniors? Medium-firm mattresses tend to suit seniors well, providing enough support to keep the spine aligned while cushioning pressure points at the hips and shoulders. An adjustable base paired with your mattress gives added control over your sleep position, helping with back pain, circulation, and acid reflux.
Are adjustable beds good for seniors? Adjustable bases let you raise the head or foot of the bed independently, which helps with circulation, back pain, and acid reflux. They also make getting in and out of bed easier.
What should I look for in chairs for elderly family members? Prioritize seat height, firm cushioning, and sturdy armrests that can take weight when standing. A power lift recliner takes away the struggle of getting up, as it effortlessly lifts you to a standing position.
