The recliner is one of the most common types of furniture found in the home. Many people spend a great deal of time in their recliner watching TV or reading. For those that are mobility challenged due to arthritis, muscular disease, or age may find getting up after sitting for an extended period of time to be very difficult. A lift chair is a special lifting aid that has the functionality of a recliner, but has a base that can be raised. This raised base makes coming to a standing position much easier and safer.
There are several different manufacturers of lift chairs. One of the most well known is Golden Technologies. They manufacture many different types and styles of lift chairs. Their MaxiComfort Line is very innovative and is currently the only lift chair that offers the zero gravity sitting position. NASA developed the zero gravity sitting position to improve the circulation of their astronauts. The legs are slightly raised so that they are above the heart, and this greatly improves circulation, can reduce swelling, and helps relieve pressure on the spinal cord by eliminating disc compression. The chair helps to maintain the natural curves of the back, and in addition this sitting position helps to improve lung capacity.
There are many advantages to the zero gravity sitting position and the MaxiComfort Line makes it very easy to position the chair in this position. The lift chairs that make up the MaxiComfort Line are infinite position lift chairs. The headrest and footrest are controlled by a special remote and both can be operated completely independently of one another. It is possible to achieve a near horizontal sleeping position or anything in between.
There are several different sizes of MaxiComfort Lift Chairs. There are models to fit petite builds or larger models that have wider seats. The different fabrics available for these models are also very nice.
