Frequently Asked Questions
Electric reclining armchairs
How does an electric recliner work?
An electric recliner is designed to offer optimal comfort thanks to its motorized adjustments. Here's how it works:
- Integrated Motors: The electric recliner is equipped with motors located in the backrest and footrest. These motors allow for easy adjustment of the chair's position.
- Remote Control: A wired or wireless remote control (integrated on the side of the chair) is provided with the recliner. It has simple buttons to control different parts of the chair.
- Backrest Adjustment: By pressing a button, you can recline the backrest to your desired position. This allows you to lie down partially or completely for maximum relaxation.
- Footrest Adjustment: Another button allows you to raise or lower the footrest independently of the backrest. This helps you find the most comfortable position for your legs.
- Memory Positions: Some electric recliners offer the option to return to the initial position (backrest upright and footrest retracted).
- Power Connection: The chair must be plugged into an electrical outlet to operate. Make sure there is an outlet near where you want to place the chair. If not, a battery can be purchased: simply charge it using an outlet, then once charged, plug it into the chair to make it work.
In summary: an electric recliner works thanks to integrated motors that adjust the backrest and footrest via an electric control. Each chair will be plugged into the mains (outlet) or powered by a pre-charged battery.
Is a separate battery required for an electric recliner?
Most electric recliners are designed to operate by being plugged directly into an electrical outlet. However, some models offer the option of using a standalone battery.
Standard operation: Most electric recliners must be plugged into a wall outlet to function. They come with a power cord that you connect to an electrical outlet.
Standalone battery: Some recliners can be equipped with an optional rechargeable battery. This allows the chair to be used without having to be constantly plugged in. The battery must be recharged regularly, usually by plugging it into an electrical outlet.
Advantages of a battery:
- Mobility: You can place the chair wherever you want, even far from electrical outlets, without worrying about cables.
- Aesthetics: No visible cables lying around, which can be more aesthetic and practical.
- Safety: In the event of a power outage, a battery-powered chair can still function, which is useful if you are in a reclined position and need to sit up.
- Disadvantages of a battery:
- Additional cost: Purchasing a standalone battery represents an additional cost.
- Maintenance: You must remember to recharge the battery regularly and possibly replace it after a few years of use.
In summary: It is not necessary to have a standalone battery for an electric recliner, as most operate by being plugged directly into an electrical outlet. However, a standalone battery can offer more flexibility and convenience, particularly in terms of placement and aesthetics. It is an option to consider depending on your needs and preferences.

How do I assemble my electric recliner?
Assembling an electric recliner can be done easily:
- Unpacking: Start by carefully removing all packaging and protective materials from around the chair to avoid damage.
- Instructions: Carefully consult the instruction manual provided with the chair. This will give you specific assembly guidelines.
- Simple Assembly: For some models, you will simply need to attach the legs to the chair (the Saturn, for example) depending on the model. Follow the instructions to securely assemble these parts. For other models, a simple assembly of the backrest will be necessary, posing no particular difficulty.
- Electrical Connections: If necessary, plug the chair's power cord into a wall outlet. Ensure the connection is secure and the chair is properly powered.
- Test: Before use, perform a test to ensure all chair functions are working correctly. Use the remote control to adjust the backrest and footrest to ensure everything is operational.
Why choose an electric wheelchair?
Choosing an electric armchair offers several important benefits:
- Comfort and ease of use: An electric armchair allows you to easily adjust the backrest and footrest position using a control. You can find the most comfortable position without additional physical effort.
- Back and leg support: They provide ergonomic support that can relieve pressure on your back and legs, particularly useful if you have circulation problems or chronic pain.
- Independence: With an electric armchair, you can manage your comfort without relying on external help to adjust your position.
- Aesthetics: They are available in a variety of styles and materials to match your interior décor, while offering a modern and elegant look to your space.
In summary, choosing an electric armchair improves your daily comfort without requiring physical effort and allows you to benefit from advanced features to meet your individual relaxation and well-being needs.
Choosing an electric armchair to switch to relaxation mode
A relaxation armchair is the perfect accessory to unwind after a long day. You can choose a manual armchair, and apply shoulder pressure or manually operate a lever to change position to recline.
Just as comfortable and less restrictive than a manual relaxation seat, an electric armchair allows you to control the movements of the backrest and footrest using a remote control or buttons integrated into the armrests, effortlessly. This makes your daily life easier, allowing you to enjoy optimal relaxation!
Combine comfort and practicality with an electric recliner
An armchair equipped with electric controls has one or more motors that allow you to modify the movements of the backrest and/or integrated footrest.
In a few seconds, the reclining armchair thus moves into the relaxation position for your comfort. And thanks to the motors of the ergonomic seat, you can find the ideal position to the nearest centimeter.
Note that depending on the number of motors integrated into your seat, you can independently manage the backrest and footrest as you wish.
In addition to reclining the armchair for your back or raising the ottoman for your legs, some armchairs include other options such as:
- A "lift" functionwhich allows you to effortlessly move from a seated to a standing position, helping people with reduced mobility or the elderly to get up more easily,
- An articulated headrestfor high-level comfort.
Some electric models can also integrate a USB socket to connect your equipment such as, for example, your smartphone or an e-reader.
Regarding operation, it should be noted that most electric seats must be plugged into a wall socket.
However, some armchairs are equipped with rechargeable wireless batteries to avoid being positioned next to a socket. You will still need to remember to recharge the battery according to your use, most often after 2 weeks.
