How Can Independent Living Specialists Help?

As Australia’s largest provider of mobility scooters and lift chairs, ILS carries a full range of electric recliner chairs that provide clients with the mobility and independence they deserve.
So What Exactly Is an Electric Recliner Chair?
It is easy to get confused about what exactly an electric recliner chair is. There are many different names associated with this type of chair, including lift chairs, electric lift, and aged care lift chairs.
All these terms are used to describe a chair powered by a low-voltage motor that adjusts its position to suit your needs best. In other words, you can position your chair from reclining to fully risen depending on your preferences and needs at that moment.
What Are the Uses of an Electric Recliner Chair?
An electric reclining chair accommodates anyone who experiences limited mobility. These chairs are helpful for users who face challenges in sitting down or standing back up.
Specifically, an electric recliner chair lifts and tilts to help users in and out of a seated position. These gentle chair movements remove any strain on your knees and hips. These chairs also feature a recliner position for total relaxation or a comfortable sleep. Moreover, an electric recliner chair can help people recover from accidents, operations, or illnesses by helping reduce the strains on the body. Finally, these chairs can too empower users to help themselves and remain independent.
Electric reclining chairs offer amazing comfort and superior versatility in meeting the personalised needs of users and are extremely user-friendly for people of all ages.
Important Factors for Choosing an Electric Recliner Chair
Independent Living Specialists offer a wide range of electric recliner chairs, including both luxury chairs and more affordable options. Purchasing a chair is an investment and it is essential to make sure you are choosing the right one for you. There are a number of important factors to consider when selecting an electric recliner chair.
Size
Yes, it is true – most electric reclining chairs are relatively large. But some of these chairs are larger than others.
Some electric reclining chairs are specially designed for shorter and slender individuals, such as the Pride C1 Lift Chair Petite. Other lift chairs cater to larger users. It is challenging to feel comfortable in a chair that is not big enough for you. So it is crucial to carefully research the size of your electric reclining chair before making any purchase decision.
ILS knows the importance of getting the right size chair to meet your needs. So let us know how we can help.
Comfort
Considering the amount of time many people spend in their favourite chair, comfort is one quality you must prioritise. Each person is different – so while many people may claim a chair to be the most comfortable in the world, you may not feel the same way. It is only your opinion of comfort which matters when it comes to your electric recliner chair.
If you have any questions about the comfort of any electric lift chair, talk to an ILS expert.
Weight
In choosing the perfect weight for your electric reclining chair, you will face an important trade-off. You will want your chair to be heavy enough that it is durable to meet the wear and tear of regular use. So it needs to handle your demands and not break in the process.
At the same time, you do not want a chair that is too heavy to move when you need to reposition it. While it is unlikely that you will be moving your electric reclining chair very frequently, the chair needs to be portable enough to be moved when required.
Most lift recliners carried by ILS feature these two requirements, being both sturdy and mobile.
Assembly
An unfortunate aspect of buying any new piece of furniture is the required assembly when you get it home. The degree of difficulty involved with specific electric recliner chairs varies. So be sure to consider the required assembly when you decide between available models of chairs.
Contact ILS for details as to the assembly required for any of our chairs.
Material
Electric recliner chairs come in a variety of materials. And these materials feature different characteristics relating to comfort, feel, and durability. Some common materials include leather, polyester, nylon, cotton, and wool. Choose a chair made of the best material for your needs.
ILS carries electric recliner chairs made of various materials for your convenience. Whatever your needs, we have you and your chair covered.
