Quality, comfort, aesthetics: furniture with advertisers

When choosing upholstered furniture, everyone strives for maximum comfort. An excellent option that can provide complete relaxation is a recliner chair that can be adjusted to different positions. This type of furniture got its name from the English word “recline”, which means “to recline”, “to be in a reclining position”. Modern models have electronic control and many useful functions, such as heating, massage, and an audio system.

How to choose the right recliner chair

General points:

When choosing a recliner chair, you should avoid the risk of tipping over. The most stable supports are in the shape of a cylinder or metal disk.

The parameters of the recliner chair when folded and unfolded should correspond to the area of ​​free space in the room: if the home is compact, the chair will need a small one - a sufficient size (WxDxH): 84x75x103 cm.

When deciding to buy a recliner chair, it is important to consider your own dimensions. The range of adjustable furniture includes products for people of different heights. Those with miniature shapes will need a model with a seat height of 42 cm.

Upholstery also matters. The stores offer various upholstery for advertisers: fabric, microfiber, natural or artificial leather. Microfiber creates a feeling of coziness, leather chairs create luxury, chic, fabric coverings are cheaper in price. The removable case included is an added plus. The protective coating will simplify the procedure for caring for the recliner chair.

Advantages and disadvantages

Just a few years ago, the main advantage of mechanical recliners was the price. Models with mechanics could be bought from 30 thousand rubles, and high-quality models with electrics started from 50-60 thousand.

Today, in 2021, prices are more or less equal. Initial and high-quality models cost comparable, from about 30 thousand for a manual recliner and from 35 thousand for an electric recliner. You can find it even cheaper, but, as a rule, this does not make sense, since savings are already beginning to the detriment of quality.

Electric recliners have a huge advantage, which confidently puts them in the lead. In such chairs you can adjust the position of your body throughout the entire range of operation of the mechanism. Raise your legs a little or more, adjust the tilt of the back as you feel comfortable. That is, every day we can take different positions that are convenient for you at a given moment in time, depending on your needs. Sometimes your legs are more tired, sometimes your back, sometimes your neck and shoulders. All this requires different body positions for rest.

This is not the case with a mechanical recliner. As a rule, there are three body positions. Sitting. Sitting with legs raised horizontally. And reclining, with the back reclined as much as possible.

Types of recliner chairs

Furniture for relaxation is usually classified according to the following criteria:

1. A computer chair with a footrest that extends or unfolds from under the bottom of the chair.
2. Bed. The footrest serves as an extension of the seat.
3. A complete massager. The model is equipped with massage rollers and various vibration modes.
4. Glider is silent furniture with a pendulum mechanism for swinging a chair and a banquette.

Mechanical characteristics

Recliner chairs can be frameless, support, or modular. In the first case, the folding mechanism is installed on wooden beams of the furniture frame, ensuring synchronization of movement. The support mechanism is equipped with its own base, the elements of the chair support the body. Modular office advertisers are equipped with separate elements: an armchair and a banquette.

What is the difference between the modes?

Now let's look at each of the three mobility options for a recliner chair. This will help you understand more clearly what the benefits of each condition are.

Mode one. It can also be called the original one, since in this position the recliner chair is practically no different from an ordinary high-quality chair. In this state, its task is to comfortably hold the person’s body in a sitting position. In this case, the back of the recliner chair is tilted approximately one hundred degrees. As for the footrest, in this situation it is superfluous, and therefore is removed in a certain way, as it will be indicated in the instructions for each chair.

Mode two. People often describe this position of the chair as TV mode, since in this position (reclining) it is very comfortable to watch TV, and it is incredibly suitable for relaxation. The footrest here is slightly pushed forward, and the backrest is tilted about one hundred and ten degrees.

Mode three. In a recliner chair you can not only sit, but also lie quite comfortably. This is exactly the position supported by the third advertiser mode. In this position, the backrest should be tilted as much as possible until it is virtually parallel with the floor and the footrest should be raised to a higher level that is comfortable for lying.

Recliner chairs, due to their mobility, can satisfy all the necessary requirements of our body, and therefore they are highly recommended by orthopedists not only for people who already have health problems, but also for healthy people who want to remain so in the future.

Control type

Mechanical recliner chair

The simplest and most affordable type of recliner chairs for the home allows you to change the position of the backrest mechanically - just press on the back of the furniture, then reduce the angle of inclination using a lever.

Power recliner chair

Finnish electrically controlled chairs easily change position by pressing a button on the remote control once. The best offers from sellers allow you to buy a recliner chair with 2 positions, as well as models that provide smooth adjustment. Furniture with the function of remembering popular items will cost more.

Touch control

The contacts responsible for controlling the recliner chair are hidden in the armrests. By pressing the left armrest, the backrest takes a lying position. To the right - returns to its previous position. Additional functions of “smart furniture” include seat heating, radio, and player.

Types of advertiser mechanisms

Depending on the principle of setting the mechanism, recliner chairs are divided into mechanical and electrical.

Mechanical

The mechanical type requires the user to apply certain physical efforts.

The device is triggered by pressing on the back and is fixed at any point. A special lever is provided for lifting to the starting position. Some modifications have restrictions on the angle of inclination. They do not allow the chair to be reclined to the “lying” position.

The footrest is removed using telescopic guides, opens like a “book”, and emerges from below (Dolphin mechanism).

The advantages of this group of chairs include reasonable cost, simple transformation principle, and reliability. The downsides include some slowness during setup and a limited range of options.

Electrical

A chair that operates using electric current is easier to operate. Just press the corresponding sensor buttons or use the remote control. Such a model is able to remember several favorite positions and reproduce them in a short time.

All changes are carried out smoothly, and importantly, much faster. However, when the drive is running, it makes a characteristic buzzing sound, which can be annoying.

The chair is powered directly from the mains or has a built-in battery.

In the first case, you should provide an outlet within reach.

The battery does not limit the choice of place to place the chair and does not interfere with 360° rotation. However, such batteries are quite expensive and require regular recharging (every 2-3 weeks). Although, with intensive use, the battery may run out earlier.

An electric recliner chair will cost more than a mechanical recliner. This is due to a more complex device and expanded functionality of the product.

Recliner chair for eyelash extensions

Many studios promote recliner chairs as a comfortable alternative to couches. The advantages of improved furniture are as follows:

1. The master sits in a comfortable natural position, which increases work efficiency.
2. The chair takes a horizontal position, allowing the client to relax during eyelash extensions, manicure and pedicure.
3. The choice of seat upholstery is offered in leatherette, medical leather that complies with GOST, and pleasant fabric upholstery. The last option is represented by suede, flock, velor, velvet, and matting products.
4. To protect the upholstery from glue and other contaminants, the furniture is equipped with headrest covers. The upholstery in the foot area is protected by footrest covers.
5. It is possible to brand the chairs and embroider the salon logo on the furniture.
6. Many models are equipped with additional options: wireless charging, massager, heating function, cup holder, flashlight, tablet holder, USB charging.

What can be additionally equipped with?

Additional accessories make the chair even more comfortable and functional. The product may have a number of interesting options.

• Rotation around the central axis by 360°.
• Rocking back and forth will give you a feeling of peace, relieve stress, and set you up for a night's rest.
• Massage in several modes for different zones is performed by built-in units. This allows you to get rid of muscle spasms, tension and fatigue after a hard day.
• Keeping the backrest and seat at a pleasant temperature is quite a useful feature. In hot weather, the chair will delight you with pleasant coolness, and in winter, on the contrary, it will allow you to warm up faster.
• The audio system and radio will give you the opportunity to relax, accompanied by your favorite tunes.
• A USB port is required to connect a phone, laptop, tablet. Gadgets will always be ready for use thanks to a full charge.
• The lift is designed to provide a comfortable height when getting up from the chair. This option will help out users with disabilities and the elderly.
• Rollers will make it easier to move massive furniture to the right place.

It is worth remembering that the more functions included in the design of the chair, the higher its price. It is wise to choose a model taking into account the necessary needs and material capabilities.

For pedicure procedures, it is convenient to replace the foot part with a cutout for a bathtub. A folding footrest will support the client's feet in a comfortable position. The legs installed at the front allow you to tilt the backrest at the required angle. The function will provide the ability for several specialists to work with a client at the same time.

Types and features of “recliner” transformation systems

Mechanics. The simplest spring mechanism is activated by body weight: you need to rest your hands on the elbows and press your back against the back of the furniture. As a result, the footboard simultaneously rises and the backrest tilts back. There are also transformation systems where parts of the furniture are individually adjustable: the footboard is raised using a lever on the armrest, and the backrest is lowered by applying pressure or by pressing a button. Mechanical models are the most budget-friendly in the line of recliners, but in most products the elements are fixed at only one angle. For example, the footrest only rises horizontally, and the backrest only lowers by 45°.

Electric drive. In advanced models, the foot and back positions are adjusted using an electric motor. The elements move smoothly and are fixed at any desired angle. For control, buttons on the armrest, wired or wireless remote control are used. The furniture is plugged into an outlet, but if there is no power source nearby, the motor can be powered by a battery (as a rule, it is included in the package). The compact battery fits easily in the case, the charge lasts for 2-3 weeks. Electric recliners are more expensive than their mechanical counterparts, but you pay for superior comfort.

Additional functions. For true connoisseurs of technology, there are advanced models of advertisers. The slider function allows for 360° rotation. If there is a glider mechanism, the furniture spins and sways. The functions operate when the advertiser is in the base position. When the furniture is unfolded, additional options are blocked. Multifunctional advertisers - complex and expensive - should be purchased from reliable manufacturers who strictly control the quality of their products and provide a long warranty.

Chairs with recliner

Traditional options for recliners are luxury chairs for home and office. They are ideal for implementing such transformation systems: the moving furniture elements are quite light, and at low loads the mechanism lasts longer.

The opinion that a recliner chair is only suitable for modern interiors is wrong. In fact, the design of the models is diverse, because when assembled, the technological filling is absolutely invisible. Look at the Redford chair from the Britannica . This chic curvy model with leather upholstery will look great in a rich, classic living room. For comparison, take a look at the “Lago” chair from the same manufacturer - the original streamlined lines emanate modernity and even futurism.

Sofas with recliner

With the advent of modular furniture, recliners found their place in the design of sofas: any standard block can be replaced with a transforming section. Only the foot and back of a particular module move, so the mechanism is not subject to excessive stress.

Recliners are built into both straight and corner sofas. You can choose a comfortable model for a room of any size and geometry. Massive furniture, for example, the Foresight modular system from Britannica . The models can implement a whole range of useful functions - an advertiser, a folding or roll-out bed, a mini-bar, intermediate armrests with tabletops.

Where to put furniture with an advertiser

The optimal place to place a smart sofa is the living room: watch TV, read or just relax with maximum comfort. If the sofa has several transformable sections, everyone will be able to choose a position that is comfortable for themselves.

A recliner chair is a great choice for an office. In free moments, it is pleasant and useful to stretch your legs, relax your spine and back muscles. At home, the chair can be placed in front of the fireplace or in a quiet corner, away from the hustle and bustle.

If you value technologically advanced, comfortable and beautiful upholstered furniture, buy an advertiser. You can choose a model with a suitable design and functions in our catalog.
