Question 1

Can a recliner chair worsen back pain if not used correctly?

Accepted Answer

No, a recliner chair provides pressure relief on your joints and spine which helps to alleviate back pain. However, stiffness and circulatory issues can occur if a person does not move around enough throughout the day. You can avoid this by making sure that the recliner has been adjusted to your specific requirements.

Here are some more helpful suggestions if you are uncomfortable in your recliner chair:

Does the recliner support your body’s natural curves? If it does not support your body’s natural curves then you can adjust the headrest to support your neck or the leg rest so that you can allow your knees to bend 90-120 degrees.
Have your legs been elevated? Elevate your recliner to help increase blood circulation.
Are you hunched forward? Try to avoid poor posture such as having your shoulders rolled in or knees higher than your hips.
When was the last time you stretched? A simple and easy way to avoid muscle stiffness and improve circulation is to do some gentle stretches before and after napping or after long periods of sitting.

All of our recliner chairs are made with these considerations in mind, giving each person the most comfortable experience no matter how unique their requirements are.

Question 2

How do I maintain my chair for long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Here are some tips to help maintain your recliner chair for long-term use:

Prevent damage i.e. keep chairs out of sunlight, change loose cushion covers, and reduce contact with strong odours (smoking etc…).
Keep on top of cleaning the chairs. Leather chairs will require a different cleaning process than fabric chairs.
Take care of the mechanics by oiling them regularly - do not wait to hear the creaking sounds before you take action.

Important Note: Our recliner chairs will not solve or heal your back pain. Our chairs help alleviate pain and provide a more comfortable seating option for people suffering with back pain alongside the elderly and individuals with neurodegenerative conditions.

If you are struggling with back pain please follow this advice from the NHS:

See a GP if:

the pain is stopping you from doing daily activities.

you can no longer cope with the pain.

Ask for an URGENT appointment or call 111 if you have back pain and:

a high temperature
you have lost weight unexpectedly
you are experiencing swelling or lumps in your lower back that has changed shape.
the pain is worse at night and does not improve after rest.
the pain is worsened by sneezing, coughing or excreting.
the pain is coming from your upper back (between your shoulders) rather than your lower back which is the most common form of back pain.

Call 999 or go to A&E if you have back pain as well as:

pain, tingling, weakness or numbness in both legs
numbness or tingling around your genitals or buttocks
trouble peeing
loss of bladder or bowel control (peeing or pooing yourself)
