Finding Your Perfect Fit: Tips on Choosing the Right Size Recliner Chair
When it comes to finding the perfect recliner chair, size matters. Recliner chairs come in a variety of sizes and styles, so it’s important to consider your needs before making a purchase. With the right information, you can find a recliner chair that’s perfectly suited to your size and shape, ensuring your comfort and relaxation. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with helpful tips on how to choose the right size recliner chair for your home.

Different body types require different-sized chairs

For petite frames, the standard chair size may be too big. In this case, a smaller chair such as a petite recliner is ideal. These chairs come with a narrower seat and backrest, making them more suitable for smaller body types. For larger frames, a larger chair with a wider seat might be more comfortable. If you're looking for extra help getting out of a chair, consider a riser recliner chair. These chairs are designed to gently lift you into a standing position, with absolutely no effort from you. They also are available with a wider seat and backrest making them perfect for those with larger body types.

Recliners for the shorter person

The average person should look for a standard size chair

Riser Recliner Chairs are the perfect fit for people with an average build. Generally, the standard size should offer enough room for an average-sized person to sit comfortably and recline with ease. Look for chairs that have adjustable features to make sure you can adjust them to your own height and body size. When selecting a recliner chair, make sure to also consider the depth of the seat, as well as the height of the back and armrests, to ensure you’re able to recline without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.

If you're taller than average, look for a chair that has a higher and deeper seat

If you're taller than the average person, you should look for a recliner chair with a higher and deeper seat. A higher and deeper seat will give you more support for your legs. Taller people tend to need more depth in the seat to support their legs, so make sure the chair you choose has a deep seat so your legs don't hang off the edge. Additionally, look for a chair with a higher back and neck support, as this will help alleviate neck and back pain due to poor posture.

Consider your weight when choosing a recliner chair

It is important to take into account your weight when selecting a recliner chair, as heavier individuals may need to invest in a chair with a higher weight capacity. Imported chairs usually have a maximum user weight limit of 20 stones, whereas UK recliner chairs usually have a maximum user weight limit of 25 stones. For heavier individuals, it is wise to look for recliner chairs that are specifically designed to support more weight. You can also opt for reinforced mechanisms or extra cushioning to ensure optimal comfort and support. When purchasing a recliner chair, make sure to check the maximum user weight limit to ensure you find the perfect fit for your body.

If you'll be using the recliner chair for an afternoon nap

Electric Recliner Chairs are the perfect choice for you. These specialised recliners allow you to recline to an almost flat sleeping position. Many of them even come with built-in massagers and heaters, making them the perfect spot for a nap. Look for chairs with dual motor electric reclining capabilities for the best level of comfort. You may also want to consider an adjustable headrest option for added neck support. Investing in a good-quality recliner chair can help ensure you get the perfect afternoon siesta.
