This article is a transcribed edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in January of 2024. For the original video go to https://youtu.be/W9sm4F2sZbA
Mike: Three weeks ago, Bob's 92-year-old mother fell down while trying to get out of her chair. Bob, Brad, and I have often dealt with this many times, but there is a solution.
Brad: As a matter of fact, at one point, both of my parents needed a lift chair. So I did a lot of research to find out what was the best chair for them. And I found out there was a big misconception that a lot of people think a lift chair is just so people can get in and out of the chair easier, which is true, but there's a lot more than that.
Mike: Some additional benefits from a good lift chair include improved circulation through your legs, having good posture, and most importantly you want it to be comfortable.
Brad: That's right, and I found I was really looking for leg circulation because my mother has poor leg circulation and there's a specific chair that's going to help with that, as well as the other benefits. We'll share that with you so you don't have to do the research that I had to do. Alright, so actually we bought two separate chairs from two different manufacturers for my mother and father. And this was a couple of years ago. And now actually, after reviewing this chair, I would've much rather bought this chair because it's a better quality, has better options, and the price was definitely better.
Mike: We're going to discuss the 10 advantages of the FlexiSpot XL6 Home Power Lift Recliner. The first advantage of using a lift chair is that you can get up from a higher position, so people who are struggling to stand up independently from a normal chair can get up from a higher surface like this. Now, you don't want to fully depend upon the total height being raised that high if you don't have to because over time it can make your legs weaker.
Brad: Right.
Mike: So just go as high as you need to get up. As Brad is showing here, he could probably get up from a lower position using his quads a little more and keeping him strong.
Brad: Right, don't let the chair take over your strength. Alright, the next point is posture and comfort. They're directly related, and what I always look for is a firm chair, not a soft one. We want good back support and if it's too soft and cushy in the seat, what happens is you sink way into it, which some people think is a comfortable, nice soft chair, but it makes it much more difficult to actually get out of that chair. You need this rocking motion for people before they get the momentum, and that soft cushions can round the back out and hold in that static rounded, poor posture over time, can cause pain. Okay, the next point, very critical, is circulation of the legs. Now some chairs, when it lifts up, they do not have a cushion all the way across by the knees. It's not very comfortable that way and it creates pressure points in two areas, which actually impede circulation, therefore, swelling in the legs actually can get worse and not better as a result of lifting up. This chair does the job that it should do. I'm very happy with it.
Mike: Another way this chair helps with blood flow is you can actually get all the way flat. You want to get your feet more elevated above your heart and this will help with circulation and lymphedema. Now you can even throw some pillows in if you want to raise your feet up even more. But this chair actually gets flat. I was surprised.
Brad: What really caught my eye with this product is the price, $499, and the quality is very good. I'm happy with it. I paid more than that for my parents' chairs and they're not as good as this. So I actually want to cover more options and benefits that this chair has because I really like them. This one is really particularly good for head comfort and neck comfort. It has three different levels you can easily adjust for the head. Go ahead, Mike.
Mike: It also has two controls, you may have noticed. One is for the actual lift chair component and the other is for a vibrating massage as well as heat. There are eight different options with three different vibrating modes.
Brad: Now, one little thing that for me, is a big thing is they have a place to store the handheld remotes. Actually, there's a loop here and you can drop 'em there and they're easily accessible. I can guarantee you that there are people that will drop these if they don't have that. And they'll be on the floor, they will not be able to reach it, or it gets tucked down in here and they can't find it. I know that's a situation with my mother and she's not the only one that has that problem.
Mike: A few more nice features of this recliner is that it can hold up to 400 pounds of weight and it also has a dual motor system.
Brad: Yeah, so in a dual motor system, it's really handy for individual comfort, 'cause one motor actually controls the leg lifting up and down and the other one reclines back, as well as controls lifting up for standing. It is really helpful to have those two systems available.
Mike: Now this chair also comes in two options of material, synthetic leather or chenille, which is what we have here, and both are water resistant, so if you spill something on it, you can easily wipe it off.
Brad: Now also included is this complimentary pillow. It actually works really well for ergonomics and comfort. You can either put that at your lower back for support, now again, this is personal, you may or may not want it. Go back, it's a nice spot for that neck range where you have may have a hollow spot, a little support there, as well as below the knees. So placing the pillow right under the knees can oftentimes alleviate knee pain if you've been walking and that arthritis is bothering you, it's a great little benefit. We really think this is a great deal for a lift chair. Again, it's the Home Power Lift Recliner XL6 with massage, heat, and headrest.
