The benefits of a relaxation sofa

With comfort as its main argument, the reclining sofa is a real ally that can be appreciated after a long day, or for little restorative naps. But choosing the right recliner sofa isn't that simple, and you'll need to find the model that meets your expectations in terms of both comfort and aesthetics.

Why choose a sofa with electric recliners?

What we call an electric relaxation sofa is a sofa that can be adapted to the desired position thanks to an electric aid that enables it to be modulated effortlessly. Not only can the backrest be adjusted, but also the headrest and footrest. Thanks to this assistance, everyone will be able to find the right position quickly and effortlessly. The reclining sofa is a piece of furniture that will enable you to take full advantage of its well-cared-for comfort, so you can relax and enjoy a good book or film in perfect comfort. 

People who regularly suffer from back pain, sciatica or circulation problems will appreciate the benefit of a multi-position adjustable seat to relieve their aches and pains, and even if you don't suffer from a particular disorder, the possibility of enjoying such comfort will always be greatly appreciated. 

What's more, this type of sofa is extremely popular with the elderly, who can opt for an armchair shape, for example, to enable them to move effortlessly from a sitting to a reclining position, and also to get up much more easily. This reduces the need for effort and the risk of injury or pain. 

A piece of furniture that's inevitably unattractive?

Electric reclining sofas have long been neglected, due to the fact that they don't always look good in a living room, which tends to put off potential buyers. Today, it's possible to combine comfort and style, and it's easy to find electric reclining sofas that will harmonize with the rest of your decor. The INFINITY model from Mobilier de France, for example, offers a choice of 3 armrest shapes, plus multiple configurations and coverings, so you can design your living room "à la carte".  

What's more, it's totally possible to opt for a customizable electric recliner sofa. You can opt for an armchair, 2-seater or 3-seater version, depending on the space available in the room, but you can also opt for leather, fabric or even microfiber. You can even choose from a range of colors and finishes. 

Gone are the days of the comfortable but imposing electric sofa, totally out of keeping with modern decor. And if you want to go for a totally contemporary look, you can opt for a reclining sofa that you can mix with trendy cushions and one or two modern armchairs.

How to choose an electric recliner sofa?

Once you've been convinced of the advantages of this type of sofa and are ready to take the plunge, it's important to make the right choices. In addition to materials, shapes and colors, there are many other criteria to consider when choosing the ideal electric recliner sofa. The basic sitting position should already provide a certain degree of comfort, with good back support without being too deep in the sofa, and the feet should be able to touch the floor. The movements offered by the sofa should be gentle, so that you can move from a quasi-recumbent position, if that's what you're looking for, to an effortless seated position. 

Various functions can be selected. For example, you can opt for simultaneous movement of the backrest, headrest and footrests, but also for separate control of these three elements, allowing you to adjust your seat exactly as you wish. Unlike a manual reclining sofa, you simply use a button or remote control to activate the movement of the electric reclining sofa. 

To take technology a step further, some models feature built-in batteries to eliminate the need for wires, extra-wide relaxation seats for 2 people, electrically-controlled lumbar support cushions, and even sliding seat and tilt-forward systems. You'll find these innovations in Mobilier de France's MONZA lounges. It's all these details and features that allow you to create a sofa totally tailored to your needs, but also to your budget, giving you an extremely comfortable and ergonomic place that you'll never want to leave. 

Perfecting comfort in the living room

The electric recliner sofa will really help you enjoy your living room, but you can also opt for other accessories that will enhance comfort in the room. For example, opting for a lamp suitable for reading will always be appreciated in the evening, so as not to strain your eyes too much. You could also opt for a plaid or two to keep close at hand (in a pretty basket, for example) when you want to take a little nap on your electric relaxation sofa. 

Last but not least, working on the room's ambience will also be essential to its comfort, by making it a pleasant, warm place to be. You can opt for plants, candles or any other decorative object that will make you feel good, as if in a cocoon. By opting for furniture specially designed for your well-being, but also by taking care of the whole decoration of the room, you can create a space that will make you want to relax and take care of yourself all year round.
