The Pros and Cons of Recliner Chairs

Mar 2nd, 2008 by Tom

Recliner chairs are becoming more and more popular, particularly amongst male consumers as the ideal item for relaxing after a day at the office. But to what extent are they a good idea, and could you really live with the downsides in your home?

Pros

• Comfortable - there’s nothing like kicking back with your feet up after a hard day at the office.• Ergonomic - recliner chairs allow you to take the weight off your feet which is good for you after working for long periods or having a busy day

• Personal Touch - a recliner chair can quickly feel like your own, moulding to your shape to enhance comfort in that most intangible of ways

• Stylish - many recliner chairs look stylish, and most are upholstered with leather for that extra fashionable look.

Cons • The Mechanism - recliner mechanisms are notoriously fickle, and that is usually the first part of the chair to give way• Space - recliner chairs, when fully extended, require far more space than vertical chairs which could prove a problem unless you have a fairly large room in which to use the chair

• Practical - recliner chairs tend not to be too practical for things like computer use; they’re more designed for chilling out.
