There is no secret that recliner furniture has gained a lot of popularity over the past few years.
Its ultra-comfort and plushness makes reclining furniture very popular today. This time we will study the top 5 benefits of owning a reclining chair.
Before we discuss the benefits, let’s talk about the history of its creation
A dentist named Josiah Flag added a headrest to a dentistry chair in 1790 to make it more comfortable for patients to sit in. A dentist named James Shnell exploited the mechanism of the chair that allowed patients to lean back, placing their feet on the footrest, in 1832.
A recliner chair is also said to have been owned by Napoleon III. Mauritian chairs were introduced later, which only reclined, and people called them rocking recliners. Joseph Hoffman also designed his own type of recliner chair. All these prototypes paved the way for two American cousins, Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker, to design the first modern reclining chair that we are all familiar with. Later, the two cousins founded a company that produced the famous recliner armchairs. Eli Winkler, the company's marketing specialist, once said, "90 years ago, with the invention of the La-Z-Boy recliner chair, the demands of American consumers when buying furniture completely changed. From that moment on, convenience became a priority for the American buyer.
Besides being comfortable, recliner armchairs are also useful for health. Here are the 5 top benefits that deserve your attention if you intend to buy reclining furniture.
- Relieve tension in your legs
When you lean on the back of the armchair, you relieve the tension in your legs. Gravity exerts pressure on the legs during the day and a reclining chair will help relieve the pressure on the legs and relax.
- Relieve back pain
If you constantly complain of back pain, you definitely need a reclining chair. Leaning on a reclining chair, you can relieve back muscle tension. When you lean on the chair, you allow the back muscles to relax and relieve pressure.
- Regulate breathing
Another healthy feature is that it will help you regulate your breathing. Leaning and sitting on the reclining chair will contribute to the opening of the diaphragm and better breathing. If you have breathing problems, get yourself reclining chairs.
- Improve blood circulation
As the earth's gravity affects the body, it may be difficult for the heart to maintain good blood circulation. When you are sitting in a reclining chair, the gravity force does not only affect your legs, but is distributed evenly throughout your body. If you have noticed that your legs are often swollen in the evening, it is worth buying reclining furniture.
- Relieve stress
One of the best properties is that it relieves stress. All reclining armchairs are super plush and one touch is enough to completely relax. It relieves the stress of the whole body.
