Lift chairs<\/a> are not only available in various styles and colours; they are also available in several sizes. A perfectly sizes lift chair is important for daily comfort and convenience just like a comfortable pair of shoes will fit well and provide adequate support for your leg. In this article, we will be analyzing some simple measuring guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible that you already have a recliner or lift chair<\/a> that fits perfectly in your house. If that is the case, let us look at how measurement can be done. With a tape measure or yardstick, take the measurement of the width of the seat between the arms and note it somewhere as your seat width. After this, proceed to measuring from the front edge of the seat cushion backwards to where it converges with the back cushion and note it down as your seat depth. The back height is gotten by measuring from the back of the seat cushion to the top of the backrest. The next step is to take measurement of the front of the chair from the floor to the top of the cushion. Don’t forget to also note this down as your seat to floor height. The values of these measurements should give you an idea of the lift chair that will come closest to the measurement of a chair you are probably very comfortable with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nis also very possible you don’t have a favourite chair for reference. In that\ncase, the four basic measurements taken above will be decided by measuring you.\nLet us start with the seat width by making use of the yardstick or tape\nmeasure. Sit down on a chair with a back. We suggest dining room chairs for\nthis purpose. Take measurement across your lap in a straight line. The aim is\nnot to wrap the tape measure around your hips, we are simply measuring across.\nNote this down. You may want to add an extra inch or two for additional\ncomfort. The yardstick should be placed along the side of your hip and make\nsure the end of the yardstick is against the backrest behind your bottom. This\nstep is to measure the depth of the seat. After this, measure forward until it\ngets to the point behind your knee where it bends. The back height is\ndetermined by measuring from the same point at the back of the seat behind your\nbottom to the top of your head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nis another important consideration when choosing a lift chair and that is your\nweight. Your weight must not exceed the weight capacity of the chair you are\nchoosing since the motors are pushing you to a standing position. For comfort\nand long term reliability, the weight should be ready within the recommended\nweight limit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
