Did you know that Napoleon III and NASA collaborated to develop the current reclining chair? That’s an unusual pair of furniture enthusiasts! Recliners have revolutionized our image of comfortable seating, from headrests to heated massage pads, to become the pinnacle of relaxation. After all, why would anyone settle for a sofa that doesn’t recline when they can sit back and relax like never before?
1. THE EMPIRE RESTS
History historians believe Napoleon III was the first to buy a reclining chair in the nineteenth century. By the time the space era arrived a century later, NASA engineers had made numerous improvements to the recliner and were using them as seats in their space rockets. These ingenious features, such as the recliner’s distinctive adjustable foot rest, were pioneered by furn
Daniel F. Caldemeyer, a designer and inventor, in the late 1950s.
Fortunately, we no longer need to be a French Emperor or an American Astronaut to get the benefits of a recliner. Traditional recliners, available in leather or fabric, have wide arms and a padded footrest, allowing us to comfortably put our feet up when sitting.
Today’s reclining armchairs and sofas also make extensive use of new design techniques and technologies to provide us with even greater comfort and relaxation. To maximize our comfort, recliners today generally have adjustable headrests, padded arm rests, lumbar back support, and independently operated footrests. Leather and leather air upholstered recliners are still popular today because they have remained trendy over the years and are much easier to clean. If you happen to spill something on the leather chair while dozing off, simply wipe it off.
Watching Netflix or playing Nintendo on anything other than a contemporary chair is a significantly less satisfying entertainment experience.
GET INTO A RECOVERY STATEMENT
Recliners can be particularly useful for those recovering from recent surgery, especially if they need to keep their shoulders or legs elevated after a hospital visit. Again, it’s always a good idea to get expert medical counsel before using anything.
Furthermore, riser recliners are created specifically for the elderly and people with restricted movement. They have an automatic stand-up mechanism that assists in safely lifting individuals out of chairs and getting them back on their feet.
WALL HUGGERS VS. SPACE INVADERS
Recliners have always taken up slightly more space than comparable armchairs and sofas. However, with the introduction of wall hugging recliners with a forward reclining mechanism, these space efficient recliners may now be used in flats, apartments, and other residences with little available space.
