Choosing The Right Upholstery For Your Lift Chair
There are more things to consider than just looks when choosing upholstery for your lift recliner. Consider these points:
- Protection from incontinence. Choosing a cover carefully, as well as pads and other devices can make issues with incontinence less stressful. We realize this can be a difficult issue to talk about, but it's important to get absorbent pads or other options to help prevent problems. While many of the fabrics do resist spills and other liquids, that doesn't solve the problem of these liquids being shed off onto the floor, which could be embarrassing.
- Resistance to food stains. Imitation leather and vinyl are easy wipe-clean options. Today's fabrics have built-in stain guards and easy-clean features that will let you enjoy snacks and drinks while sitting in your lift recliner without worry.
- No one wants to sit in a lift chair that makes them hot and stuffy, so breathable fabric is important. This is really something to consider for those who will most likely sit or sleep for long periods of time. Any type of slick surface like a vinyl or leather usually isn't going to breathe, and probably won't be a good option for someone who will sit very long, unless it's a specialized synthetic breathable leather like Golden Technologies Brisa. Our lift recliner specialist can tell you if the fabric you're considering is breathable and help advise you so you find the one you need.
