9 great recliners for elevated sleep

Getting a good night’s rest when you have a heart condition, digestion problems, sleep apnea, or other medical issues can be difficult. Some people want or need tosleep in an elevated position, and of those, many find that a recliner can provide the right angle for them to sleep comfortably.

问题要问之前买的躺椅

Some things to consider when buying a recliner include the reclining angle, the size of the chair itself, the material (for example,faux leathercan be easier to clean but may not be as warm and cozy as fabric), whether it is operated manually or electronically, and if it has dual motors so the backrest and footrest can be adjusted independently from one another. Do you want heating and massage options, cupholders, or other accessories?

For those who have difficulty getting in and out of chairs, you may want to consider a power lift recliner rather than a standard recliner.

Finally, of course, is your budget. (Note that some power lift chairs are covered by Medicare if considered medically necessary. You will need a prescription from your doctor.)

With so many varieties on the market, selecting the right recliner can be daunting. If possible, try out the recliner before purchasing. If you are unable to visit the store and need to purchase your chair online, make sure you understand the return policy.

Also, most recliners require assembly and are usually shipped in two or three separate cartons due to their size. For those who prefer to purchase their chair online, we’ve selected nine models to help you get started with your search.
