Typically, recliners have an exceptional level of comfort since they feature overstuffed backrest and seat cushion, as well as plush upholstered arms. But they lack one important feature which is why these chairs cannot be called as all-purpose furniture i.e. lift mechanism. For that reason, lift recliner chairs ย are incredibly helpful because not only do they fulfill the needs of normal adults, but they are also ideal for the elderly, nursing women or people with medical handicaps.ย ย The power lift feature lifts up the couch and tilts it a little bit, so that the user may stand upright without putting extra strain on his back or knees.

๐See the Current Price
๐Pros
Material
- This recliner is wrapped in thick and gorgeous saddle brown poly fiber, which is hard-wearing, soft, smooth and also has feel-good touch.
- It gives the look of a top grain leather. In comparison to vinyl, it is not a sticky fabric but it has pretty nice smooth feel.
Comfort

Recline & Lift
- The chair reclines or lifts in a smooth, easy and effortless manner.

Remote
- The remote control is pretty convenient due to its long cable and ease of use.ย
Advice Note๐

Cons๐

- Since there is a lot of metal reinforcement at the base of this chair, it is pretty heavy to lift and move around.
- The cushioning on its seat is a tad firm and it is also on the narrow side.

- It takes about 10 minutes to put it together.
Advice Note๐

- This is the perfect lift chair for persons 5โ1″ – 5โ9โ.
Cons๐
- The seat cushioning is slightly firm.
- The instructions for connecting the electrical components are not very clear.
- It doesnโt lay all the way back to flat position.ย
- The bottom part of this sofa is pretty heavy to move around.

RECLINER NO. 3 – Domesis Renu Leather Wall Hugger Power Lift Chair Recliner, Brown Renu Leather
๐See the Current Price
๐Pros
Material
- This leather lift chair has classic design and rugged construction thanks to its leather blend fabric upholstery, which feels just like top grain leather.
- The fabric of this sofa is durable, breathable and soft to the touch.ย
Space-saving recliner
- It has smaller profile which means it doesnโt occupy a lot of floor space.
Reclinerโs clearance
- Due to its wall hugger design, this recliner needs only 4 inches of distance from the wall in order to fully recline.
Power controls
- It has simple and super quiet controls as they move this chair slowly into your desired comfort zone.
Advice Note๐
- There are only two buttons on the remote control: arrow-up and arrow-down. Once you push the down button, the legrest is released. But after the legrest rises to about 90 percent, the backrest begins to recline (and not before). Thus, if you donโt press the arrow-down any further, the chair is still in its upright position while the legrest is released. Hence you can enjoy watching TV in this way.
Cons๐
- This couch is fairly small for tall people.
- It doesnโt recline very far behind.
