Tall people have it easy in most runs of life. They are perceived to be more masculine, more attractive, and overall tend to be perceived more favourably than shorter individuals. However, karma does bite back when it comes to comfort. Whether you are talking about legroom in aeroplanes or headroom in cars, tall people are generally served the short stick in matters of comfort.
Things are no easier when it comes to homes. Furniture sizes are designed with the general public in mind, and that handily excludes people of more than average stature. Feet sticking out of the end of the bed, not being able to comfortably sit on a sofa: the list goes on. Thankfully, Lazyboy makes recliners that are designed to accommodate individuals from all walks of life. With these products, you need not sacrifice on comfort any more.
Tips for Buying Recliners for Tall People
Durability
It’s not easy being a tall person, especially when you want to buy a comfortable recliner. You simply can’t compromise on the sturdiness of the recliner, as it should be able to support your weight and size. It’s best to buy a recliner with an iron or metal frame that supports the overall recliner structure as well as the weight of the person sitting on it. Also, the upholstery should be low maintenance and easy to clean.
Adjustable Features
The recliner shouldn’t just fit your body while fully extended. Instead, it should offer manual or automatic adjustment features to ensure comfortable angles and positions. Many advanced recliners allow you to select the reclining angle within a range to maximize the seating experience. Also, some premium-quality recliners include massage and heating options; however, these can be pricier.
Dimensions
You should always evaluate the dimensions of the recliner when it’s extended or not. Also, never forget to check the height of the recliner if you don’t want to stress your thigh muscles. For instance, if the sofa seat height is short, you won’t be able to rest your thighs on the soft seat. Similarly, the backseat’s height should be sufficient to support your neck and head.
