To relax and rest peacefully, adopt a comfortable position by adjusting the backrest with a small manual push, thus accompanying the inclination of the chair. In addition, some of our models each include an independent footrest, with a storage compartment for even more practicality.
What are the advantages of a manual recliner?
One of the advantages of the manual recliner is that it is space-saving. It can be easily placed in a room because it has no motor and therefore no connection. It is manually and quickly reclinable to allow a semi-reclined position. Not to mention the design aspect, this type of armchair is available in several models with different colors and materials to meet the tastes of all customers and easily integrate into your interior.
How to choose your manual recliner model?
Do you suffer from back pain and for a few weeks you've been telling yourself that you need to buy a recliner but you don't know which one to choose?
There are several models of manual recliners, which can make the choice difficult. But we have the solution to facilitate this purchase.
First of all, it is important to know that you should choose a brand you trust, a brand that offers you the best choice of armchairs while respecting your requirements, your tastes and the ergonomics of its products. My New Design is a Breton company that exclusively markets the best choice of designer, manual and electric recliners. The models we offer perfectly meet your needs and will relieve your back pain.
Now that the brand choice has been made, let's discover the essential elements to check when buying your manual recliner. It is important to choose a chair that matches your morphology, to ensure its comfort and consequently relieve your aches.
First on the list, the first advice we offer concerns your position on the chair. When seated, your feet should touch the floor and allow your legs to be at 95 degrees so that your pelvis is at the same height as your knees, thus avoiding any tension in your thighs. We also offer independent footrests on some models of manual recliners that will allow you to achieve this balance.
Next, let's talk about seat depth. It is advisable to choose a recliner with a rounded seat edge and a depth between 45 and 54 cm, for soft comfort and good circulation. The seat width should also allow you to rest your arm muscles on the armrests. In summary, it is necessary to adapt the depth and width of the seat to your morphology so that you do not feel either trapped or lost in the middle of the chair.
In this same list, we also find the backrest of the recliner, a very important element that determines the comfort and ergonomics of a recliner: you must therefore adapt its height, width, and shape to your needs and your morphology. Your lower back, i.e. your lumbar region, must be continuously supported by a sufficiently padded but not too padded backrest to support the dorsal spine.
