Recliner Chairs

Recliner chairs let you lean back and raise your feet, from home lift recliners to medical geri chairs used in care settings. This collection includes power lift recliners for seniors, a rocking and swivel power recliner with dual OKIN motors, Drive Medical geri chair recliners for clinical and home care, and an aluminum outdoor chaise lounge set.

How to Choose the Right Recliner Chairs

• Decide on the setting: living-room recliners for comfort, lift chairs for people who need help standing, and geri chairs for clinical or caregiver use.
• Check weight capacity and seat width; bariatric geri chairs support up to 500 lb with a 25 inch seat.
• Compare positions: power recliners adjust to many positions, while geri chairs offer set positions, some including Trendelenburg.
• Look for locking casters, trays and wipe-clean upholstery if the chair will be used for care.
• Measure wall clearance and doorway width before buying.
• Swivel and rocking features add movement but need more floor space.
