Recliner armchairs

At My New Design, there are several types of recliner chairs, each offering different features to meet your comfort and relaxation needs. Here are the main styles of chairs we offer.

Manual Recliner:

It adjusts manually using an internal or external handle that allows you to recline the backrest and raise the footrest with light pressure from your back. No great physical force is required to operate it. This type of chair is simple to use, does not require electrical power, and is often more affordable than an electric chair. It's an excellent option in terms of value for money.

Electric Recliner:

It adjusts using a wired or fixed remote control on the side of the chair. Electric chairs are offered with one or two integrated motors depending on the model. A chair equipped with a single motor reclines the backrest and raises the footrest simultaneously. Whereas a two-motor chair allows the footrest and backrest to be used independently, offering greater comfort.

My New Design only offers electric chairs equipped with two motors. The comfort of a two-motor electric chair is therefore maximal, precise, and effortless.

Swivel Chair: Mounted on a swivel base, allowing you to easily turn without moving the chair, it is practical for effortlessly changing direction and ideal for spaces where you want to have multiple viewing angles. These features offer real user comfort, allowing you to visually enjoy all living spaces. This option also offers the possibility of communicating with everyone in the room.

Reading Chair:

Chairs with adjustable armrests are also available on the My New Design website. "Minorque" offers this feature for ergonomic comfort particularly suited to reading. This option significantly relieves the shoulders and neck as well as the trapezius muscles. My New Design also presents a range of chairs with high armrests for people suffering from pain while reading.

Chair with Integrated or Independent Footrest:

Each chair at My New Design meets a specific usage need. The desired comfort will be provided for some by a separate footrest, depending on the user's height and the space in the room where the chair will be placed. It is therefore important to know your comfort needs beforehand.

In summary: the different types of recliner chairs include manual, electric, reading, and those with integrated or separate footrests. Each offers specific advantages to meet your comfort and relaxation needs. Choose the one that best suits your preferences and lifestyle.

To keep your recliner in good condition and comfortable, here are some simple tips for its maintenance and cleaning:

Regular maintenance will be very helpful:

First, remember to dust it. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust regularly. Vacuum the cushions and crevices to remove crumbs and dirt.

Cleaning should be adapted to your armchair's material:

• For fabrics: Use a fabric cleaner or a solution of water and mild soap. Be sure to test it on a small, inconspicuous area.
• For Leather: Use a damp cloth and a specific leather product. Then apply a leather conditioner to keep it supple.
• For faux leather: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products that can damage the surface.

To avoid stains:

If you spill something, clean it immediately with a clean, damp cloth.
Always use stain removers suitable for your armchair's material.

Regarding the maintenance of mechanical parts:

If your armchair has moving parts, such as footrests or adjustable backrests, lubricate the mechanisms with a suitable lubricant to prevent squeaking, once a year or every two years, depending on your usage.
Regularly check screws and bolts to ensure they are tight.

General precautions:

Avoid exposing your armchair directly to sunlight, as this can discolor the fabric or leather.
Protect your armchair from pet scratches by using covers or protectors.

In summary: Maintain your recliner by dusting and cleaning regularly according to the material (fabric, leather, faux leather). Act quickly in case of stains and check the mechanical parts to ensure they function properly. By taking these few precautions, your armchair will remain in good condition and comfortable longer.

The lifespan of a recliner depends on several factors, such as the quality of the materials, frequency of use, and the care it receives. Generally, a good quality recliner can last between 10 and 15 years with regular maintenance.

Regarding lifespan, several factors come into play:

• First, the quality of materials: Chairs made with robust materials such as leather and fabrics and solid mechanisms tend to last longer.
• Next, frequency of use: A chair used daily may wear out more quickly than one used occasionally.
• Finally, maintenance and care: Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and lubricating the mechanisms, extends the chair's lifespan.
• Furthermore, protecting your chair from external aggressions will also contribute to its longevity: Preventing sebum secretions from the scalp, protecting materials from prolonged sun exposure, and preventing scratches from pets are all details that contribute to the proper aging of the materials and coverings of recliners.

Warranty:

• Warranty period: Most manufacturers offer a 2-year warranty on recliners. This warranty generally covers manufacturing defects and mechanism problems.
• Warranty conditions: It is important to read the warranty conditions of each manufacturer to know what is covered and what is not. Some components, such as the motor of electric recliners, may have different warranty periods. At My New Design, warranties are two years for parts and labor, regardless of the nature of the problem.

In summary: the lifespan of a recliner is generally 10 to 15 years, depending on quality, use, and maintenance. Most recliners come with a 2-year warranty. Make sure to properly maintain your chair to enjoy it as long as possible.

Choosing the right color for your recliner is important for it to harmonize with your interior and match your personal tastes. Here are some simple tips from our CEO, a former interior designer.

Consider your existing decor:

Look at the main colors in your room, such as the walls, floors, and furniture. Choose a color that complements or pleasantly contrasts with these elements.

If your decor is rather classic, opt for neutral colors like beige, gray, or brown. For a more modern style, bright colors or bolder tones may be suitable.

Think about your well-being:

Black, dark brown, or gray are very suitable for frequent to intensive use. White, cream, or pastels can make the room brighter, more soothing, and very elegant. Harmonize with your personal tastes.

According to your personal preferences, choose a color that you like and with which you feel comfortable. Your armchair should be a place of relaxation, so opt for a color that is soothing for you.

If you like to follow trends, look at fashionable colors in home decor magazines or on specialized websites.

Consider the effect of color:

Neutral colors are versatile and easily integrate into any decor. While bright colors will add a touch of dynamism to become the focal point of the room.

Warm colors: Red, orange, and yellow can make the room more inviting and warm. While cool colors such as blue, green, and purple provide a sense of calm and relaxation.

In summary: to choose the right color for your recliner, consider the dominant colors and style of your existing decor, the ease of maintenance of the chosen color, your personal preferences, and the effect you want to create in the room. By following these tips, you will find the perfect color that harmonizes with your interior and meets your tastes.
