Relaxation functions and movements: lifting people, chair with one or two motors?

The second point in choosing a relaxation chair are the functions and movements, which with their movement, gentle and silent, accompany us in our daily actions, difficult or not.

Relax armchairs with one motor, have the classic synchronized movement, which first activates the footrest bringing it to a horizontal position, then reclines the backrest, naturally there is a person lifting system.

When the body is weightless, it naturally assumes a position in which the natural curve of the spine is respected and the legs are slightly raised above the heart: this is the so-called zero gravity position, the highly celebrated position recommended by doctors. professionals who guarantee total and optimal relaxation for the whole body!

Modern armchairs for the elderly are comfortable, technological but you know, they also weigh a lot.Moving them around the house, perhaps from the bedroom to the living room, to be able to watch TV or be in the company of family members, can become a very difficult task. To meet these needs, manufacturers often propose two solutions. The first is to mount two wheels in the back, so you can move the chair simply by tilting it. Usually this mechanism cannot support the weight of a person and therefore the chair has to move by itself. If, on the other hand, we want to use the elderly chair as a means of domestic transport, for example instead of a wheelchair, then we must opt ​​for what is usually called a wheeled system, or automobile.composed of four wheels that are lowered by operating a handle and support the user's weight.
