Our blog focus today is on power recliners. These recliners are feature rich and are really taking ownership of living rooms nationwide. The key benefits of having one are the comfort they provide, the ability to lift you to a standing position, getting your feet above your heart for better circulation and the ability to move the chair into positions that are most comfortable to you. Below we are going to name the top 5!
#1 Golden Technologies Cloud+
#1 is reserved for the industry leader in power recliners, Golden Technologies. The recliner in 1st position is the Cloud + by Golden. The cloud line has a few options: PR-511 and PR-525. Both come in a variety of sizes from small to large.
An added benefit to either chair would be the add-on capability of Nirvana Swedish Massage with Infrared HeatWave Therapy. The all new Nirvana massage has 10 air chambers that target over 500 square inches of your body!! The full body Infrared heating system is like no other. It provides tension relief, relaxes aching muscles and promotes better circulation.
The PR-511 has Patented MaxiComfort positioning providing infinite recline positions that offer support for everyday comfort and positions that reduce pressure points.
The PR-525 Cloud + with twilight features all the same benefits of the PR-511 with some added features. Experience deeper relaxation with the patented twilight tilt technology, which elevates your feet above your heart for ultimate wellness and circulation support.
Both products offer a robust selection of accessories and have one of the best warranty coverages!
