20 Best Ergonomic Recliner For Back Pain (2023 Updated)

IšverstiShow in original languageThe Ernestine Power Lift Recliner is a God send. It is the perfect size and it is just sturdy enough. It reclines perfectly and the legs lift up just write. The Ernestine Power Lift Recliner lifts up to to perfect height.

We got this chair for my 80 year old father who passed away on the morning of 6/29/2022 at 11:00am. He never got to use his new Recliner because Handy didn’t come to put it together until 5:00pm on 6/29/2022.

But never fear; he will enjoy his new Recliner from heaven and the family will use it in his memory!!!!!!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI can’t believe I didn’t get one of these years ago! I am on the bigger side and also have back and mobility issues so getting up and down can be hard sometimes but I never really gave it much thought since I was still able to get up on my own.

I tried my mom’s one day when I threw my back out at her house and I was so impressed. It has a good strong motor, lifts you up so its easy to get on your feet and I love that the back and the foot rest are independent motors.

It makes it easier to find just the right position to get comfortable. The cushion for your head and back are nice and soft and the seat is very firm and supportive so there’s no tailbone pressure. The upholstery looks scratchy in the picture but it is actually almost fuzzy.

It was easy to put together. The only complaint I have is not buying one sooner!.

IšverstiShow in original languageBoth my husband and I were care facing major surgeries. One is a hip replacement, the other is replacing both knees. We felt having an electric lift recliner would be beneficial for both of our recoveries.

The hip has been replaced and the chair is proving to be very beneficial. It is very comfortable and helps with getting up and down. We love it. It blends well with our other furniture.

Well, I wanted to be fair, and have used this chair for several months. I am quite dissatisfied with the chair, and will be returning it to Walmart just as soon as I figure out how to do it. I purchased the chair and a service policy online, and it took four or five tries just to get the order placed.

That should have been a warning, but I persisted and the big box with the chair parts arrived on my front doorstep a few days later. OK – opened the box, and everything looks fine. Read the instructions and all of the parts needed for assembly were there.

The chair parts didn’t fit together too well, but with some perseverance I was finally able to get all of the bolt holes and padded back, seat and sides together. The ottoman portion of the chair does not work like a traditional recliner, and has a black plastic handle on the lower right side of the chair that you lift forward and up to raise the lower section so you can rest your legs.

Weird, and not easy to actuate. Now – the recliner feature – FAIL. The chair doesn’t actually recline, but it will tilt back if you apply pressure to the chair back. And as soon as you lean forward, the chair springs forward with you.

Not a recliner – more of a spring back chair. There is a small plastic knob on the left side of the chair that is evidently there so you can “lock” the reclined chair in position. FAIL. That never worked, as the locking force of the knob is easily overwhelmed by the spring back nature of the chair.

Hoo-boy. this was getting tiresome. I really wanted a recliner, not a tilting chair (that does not tilt back more than 15 degrees or so. ) that is darn near useless. So I thought that maybe this chair could be used as an office chair.

FAIL. The height is not adjustable, and after a couple of weeks use the chair started squeaking as the metalwork supports are not well designed or made. A close inspection of the weldments indicates very low quality welds, and general low quality.

Yes – the chair was made in PRC (People’s Republic of China) but that is no excuse for the poor design and lack of execution in manufacturing. Can you tell that I’m not happy about this purchase? I spent about $300 for the chair and warranty and tax.

Not a good value if the total price was $150, or even $50. Lastly, the base of the chair is a round metal disk, which leaves a hula=hoop shaped crush mark on the carpet, so even the chair’s interaction with the floor is a.

FAIL. I hope this review will help other potential buyers avoid problems and false expectations. This chair might be OK for a basement area so kids can watch TV or play video games, and if you paid less than $75 for the chair.

For what it was advertised, and what I paid – this “Coaster Leatherette Swivel Rocker” is a FAIL. My next call will be to Walmart. com to arrange a return. Sigh.

I’ve only had for less than a week and that isn’t enough time to really acclimate myself to the product. It took an amazing amount of time to get it and it seem to work ok yet there are a few things that seem to be off putting.

At certain angles my neck is uncomfortable I use a neck pillow to help the discomfort but other than that it seems ok. I like the color it’s very soft and comfy, the arm rest seems a little too low when sitting upright, but they are padded ok.

I believe I will enjoy this chair very much once I am acclimated to having it. Thanks so much. I very much liked shipping free and home delivery and set up was awesome. That scored well above every other place I shopped for this purchase and there was a lot of places I looked but you beat them all with shipping, delivery and set up free included in cost, thank you very much.

We purchased our new chairs and ottomans in Jan. , and my husband was able to put them in good order. They are definitely a different style from the two flowered print swivel chairs with ottomans that I had purchased from Macy’s about 17 years ago.

These will be easier to keep clean and I like that the ottomans have easy to open lids where I can put an unread magazine or book. Friends that have seen them have definitely liked the new chairs too.

I forwarded a pic of them by email as I had no clue how to attach it to this review. Diane and Pete Savoia.

The speed of delivery was amazing, the chair is well built and the price less than expected. As a small ,massaging recliner I couldn’t be more pleased. I did disconnect the massanger from the foot stool, got tired of triping over the cord but that’s a problem of the locationof the chair, not thre chair.

the chair shipped promptly but I noticed a big tear in the box when it arrived. The other side of the (very large) box also had a big tear which had been taped up so I thoroughly checked it after opening.

The chair did have some scuff marks and was dusty inside the box but I put it together and it works and is comfortable. I would have rated it higher if not damaged-maybe shipper could send it in two boxes instead of one large heavy box?.

The swivel chair is pretty nice, however I wish it had a little more cushion on the seat. I love the swivel @ the stool but to be honest it doesn’t look as high end as the photo. I purchased a genuine leather sofa & the swivel chair to go with it.

When I compare the two, I can tell the bonded leather on the swivel chair is not as nice as my genuine leather sofa. The chair is not bad for the price but a Little disappointed. If I didn’t have two different types of leather in the same room then maybe I’d feel differently about the look of the leather.

Beautiful, comfortable and great support for lower back. I love this chair. It was only about 1/2to 1/3 the cost of similar chairs.

Quality appears good. Looks nice. EXTREMELY firm. More than I like. That is the only reason for only a 3 star rating

Super easy to assemble! Beautiful comfy chair. This rating lost a star because of the photos shown on this item. Color is lighter in the photos. This is more of a darker grey with a hint of green. I kept this item because it wouldn’t fit in my car to return and because I’m really happy with the way it reclines.

I’ve already fallen asleep on it.

IšverstiShow in original languageI love the lines and fabric of this recliner. It was purchased it for temporary medical needs and replacement of an older chair. Prior to purchase, I do recall reading the Yandel is described as a big and tall.

I’m large but only 5’5″ tall. The construction is great for larger individuals (figured roomy is good) my height. not so good. My feet have a hard time touching the floor when sitting but, that’s my fault, reclining is great and sleeping even better! I have 2 sons, both 6’5″ & 220-270 lbs.

This chair is perfect for their size. They loved this chair and the firmness for posture, reclining allowed ample length and comfort. It’s been in heavy use for about 4 months & still like new! Don’t fret about putting it together, everything has letters or numbers A to A, 3 to 3 and so on, plus an easy to follow diagram.

15 mins. tops. 2 boxes were easy to bring in the house and ship time was great.

IšverstiShow in original languageI saw exact chair in local furniture store before finding it on Zulily. Of all the chairs I looked at including those much more expensive I thought this was the most comfortable and a good value.

Upholstery is soft and appears to be durable. I didn’t need lift feature but it provides another level of adjustment to stay comfortable while watching TV or reading. Delivery was fast (less than a week).

Chair comes in one big box which is very heavy. I was fortunate to home when UPS delivered and they brought it in my living room. I thought assembly was straight-forward, but I’m very good with such things.

If you’re not strong or have limitations don’t try moving or assembling this chair by yourself due to weight.

IšverstiShow in original languageMy husband has weak legs due to a neurological disease and this chair was just what he needed to be more independent. The chair is very comfortable and the best feature is the independent motors for the footrest and the recline features.

Many recliners put the footrest up while the back goes down. Sometimes you want your feet up but sitting mostly upright. That is a wonderful feature in this chair. There was damage on the right wing back but the warranty should take care of the repair.

IšverstiShow in original languageMy husband loves it! We bought this chair after his back surgery because he needed something supportive with an easy recliner. The height of the back is perfect for him (he’s 6ft tall), so he is able to rest his head completely both sitting and fully reclined.

He hasn’t really used the massage feature much as it’s more like concentrated vibration than anything else. It was a little frustrating to assemble, as you have to put a lot of screws in tight places.

It took about an hour for me by myself. But, he loves it so much it was worth the struggle.

IšverstiShow in original languageI like this chair. We got the mocha color and it is nice. Assembly instructions were fine and easy to follow. The only problem was with the right arm rest. It was very difficult to assemble and I was only able to get one screw in.

Other than that I like the comfort, massage and the lumbar heat is good.

IšverstiShow in original languageNOT REAL LEATHER, PLYWOOD BASE. MY SON CALLED IT “CHEAP” ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF IT. MY HUSBAND LIKES IT BUT DOESN’T THINK THAT IT’S WORTH THE COST.

Woodwork is poorly finished. Stitching appears it will wear easily as it is exposed on chair seat. Leather appears to be Bi-Cast leather. The chair leans back too far when not in reclining position. Color advertised is not the color of the chair.

Overall, this chair might turn out to be a poor purchase. Caveat Emptor.

I love this chair it is comfortable and was easy to assemble. BUT after about six months it squeaks. We will try to deal with that. WORSE the finish on the front of the wood is pulling away to expose the wood underneath.

Nothing was spilled and it is not a scatch, its just retracted sort of in a long 3 inch line about an inch wide. VERY noticeable and quite unexpected for a nice quality piece. I have never had wood finish pull away like this on any wood furniture.

The manufacturer offered to sell us a replacement front arm but with the cost of it and shipping can likely get a furniture finisher to replace for less. #SAD.

This is a very pretty chair and ottoman. It is very stylish and understated. Unique. Nicer than the pictures. More substantial leather padded arm rests than I expected, which is good. Reclines and revolves easily.

I was a bit wary about the purchase, but I am very pleased to see how nice it looks and feels. It may be difficult to assemble because on ours, one of the pins didn’t line up and my husband had to pop it back out and file the end down to fit, but I think that he didn’t complain much because he likes it so much.

He makes custom wood furniture, and was not hesitant about putting this in the same room as some of his best pieces. But assembly could be a major problem for someone without the expertise to readjust anything out of alignment.

I haven’t attempted to cut the plastic off the ottoman yet, because I don’t want to cut the leather. Not looking forward to it. Biggest issue is that it really really smells, though I am willing to endure the gassing off, if it doesn’t take too long.

I think that it must be packaged for a long time in it’s box and protective plastic in a warehouse. This morning it made me feel ill to sit in it, but it seems much better already after 12 hours or so from opening.

After alot of shopping and concerns, I am happy that I bought it.

I purchased this chair online and had it delivered. Unfortunately, although this chair is attractive, it is not comfortable, at least not for me. It was too deep and too tall for me (I am 5 ft 6 1/2 inches tall).

After an hour, my back started to hurt because the lumbar support did not line up with my back, and the firm head/neck pillow pushed my head forward resulting in major neck ache and headache. So, the only way the chair was comfortable was if I placed full sized bedroom pillows behind my back and my neck.

In addition, the lift function doesn’t raise up before tilting forward, so I had to brace my feet on the floor so I didn’t slide out of the chair before I could stand up. Fortunately, HOM Furniture’s great customer service exchanged this with a different chair within a week.

I can’t say enough positives about HOM’s customer service associates and HOM’s 7 day return/exchange policy. I will DEFINITELY go to HOM Furniture for future online purchases.

We ordered this online but had seen it in a store and really like it. Coleman had it for sale cheaper and I’m so glad I bought it from them. Ordering was easy, customer service above my expectations, quality is fantastic.

After placing the order, customer service called me to confirm my order and ask if I had any questions. The comforter is fluffy, well made, and washes well. We went with white and it makes our bedroom beautiful and light.

We got a stain on a pillowcase and it came right out from a hand wash. I was amazed! We have a king sized bed and the king size comforter is plenty big even with our high mattress. Great product!.

This recliner is nice. I’ve paid twice the amount for other chairs and this one is just as nice. It looks and feels like it cost a lot more. I didn’t know I was ordering a power chair, but now that I’ve got it, that’s nice, too.

The mechanism is smooth and really easy to operate. It goes from a totally upright position easily to a totally flat position with a simple push of the button. You can stop the button at any time when you’re at the position you want.

The chair comes in two pieces. The bottom/seat section is heavy, as it should be for stability. I put the chair together by myself with one simple step…insert the metal tabs on the chair back into the metal slots on the back of the seat.

The recliner is impressive, especially for the cost. I will probably buy a second one soon.

I bought this Barcalounger recliner after surviving open heart surgery and needing a recliner / lift chair that could recline completely flat, but also was comfortable for the first couple of weeks when I did NOT want to be flat due to pressure on the incision.

This recliner was PERFECT. You can control leg lift, lumbar, angle of the back, and headrest independently to achieve a very custom position. Not all recliners have this many motors/controls. The fact that it was a lift chair was a bonus and not necessary for my use.

It appears to be very well made: firm stuffing / springs, smooth quiet motors, and soft leather. I am extremely comfortable in it at 5′ 4″. The chair is built in such a way it can accommodate a range of heights taller than us, although you might have to adjust your sitting position once you recline the chair to be on the headrest.

We took the decision to have it installed in our theater room, rather than buying theater room chairs, because we feel this chair is better made and more comfortable than even some high-end theater chairs we’ve tried, although it lacks the cup holders.

We bought the battery charger for the second chair that will be away from the wall, but might run power under the rug to this chair long-term. We’ve owned the chair for several months now and still love it.

We would definitely buy this again and plan to buy a second one so we don’t fight over the first one.

Beautiful recliner. Leather color is better than any of the photos. With FREE delivery, we were pleased with the way the recliner was packaged so damage was highly unlikely. Putting the legs on was easy.

Putting the back and base together was pretty easy. Great recliner for a good price. Also arrived a week early with the delivery man sending a text with each stop ( we were 4th that morning). When we got the notice that he was leaving stop 3 he sent a text that he would arrive in 25 minutes and he actually did.

We bought two of the chairs and we like them really well. The shopping experience at NFM was so easy. The salesman Eric knew his merchandise and was very helpful. The price was good, they had both chairs in stock and the pickup was very efficient.

No problems at all.

It’s a nice chair, good quality, but ultimately I wish we had gotten something else. Here are my complaints: 1. The back of the chair is too short so you can’t rest your head. This is true for when the chair is reclined or upright.

2. When you recline it does not stay in the recline position well. The chair tries to pop back up to the regular position, so the recline feature kind of sucks.

I had this chair for 4 months before it started to grind and squeak. I tried to return it since it clearly should not be doing this so quickly after being purchased, or ever honestly, but it was “out of the range of time for returns” which I find absolutely absurd considering the price and how soon it started to break! so save yourself the money and do not buy this chair I would give it zero stars if I could! along with targets customer service.

This chair is everything!!! I was so hesitant because of the very few reviews but I bought it anyway. I’m SO glad I did! This chair is beyond comfortable, really good quality and came in two pieces that snapped together and – voila! I had a beautiful rocker/glider/recliner in our nursery that babe & mama loves! The color is great – very neutral (doesn’t scream too tan or grey) and the material is very nice.

10/10.

Sooooo very comfortable. My family just loves these chairs. Supple leather and handsome. We ordered two in brown. Gorgeous!!!

Love this sofa and matching chairs. High quality leather in perfect colors, and the voice command technology is icing on the cake. Incredibly comfortable. Excited for family movie nights and cozy time together.

Everyone in the family is super happy with this purchase.

bought this and a module went out causing a huge “clunk” when you recline. hom customer service did a great job scheduling service and ordering a new mod. tech took about an hour to replace and is working perfectly! chair is nice and oversized, sturdy and comfortable.

Easy to fall asleep in it.

First of all it took 4 months to come after ordering it. I was told 4-6 weeks and the delivery date was changed twice, finally coming 4 months later. Had a guy come out twice. The first guy wasnt very supportive of my concerns and he flipped the chair forward to look underneath then put it back down.

And since he flipped it forward now it drops suddenly when reclining to the sitting position and it didnt do that before he flipped it forward. I was told they would refund $135. 00 to leave as is or they would replace the chair.

Nothing has been done about it. The heater, I can not feel AT ALL. Was told it’s a very small heater. The reclining doesnt go back as far as the model shows, you have to push with your back and it doesnt stay back regardless.

The foot rest comes up but not as far as youd expect and then eventually lowers and wont come back up. The seat isn’t very comfortable either. The only thing I’m really happy with the chair is that it does lift me up enough to stand.

We spent alot of money on this chair and it would be nice to get some satisfaction from the company other than shoulder shrugs.

I really love my chair. It is so comfortable and relaxing. The features on it is AWESOME. The heat and massage levels are super. It really is a blessing on my back after doing all my yard work. It is really a AMAZING chair.

Also it lifts me right up straight out of the chair if I am not able to do it myself. I am so very happy I purchased this. My husband got a different one that is electric also and he is happy as well.

I would have returned this chair the next day except for Bobs “no returns after delivery” policy. I would like to know how ( I could have returned it before delivery) It is MY FAULT that I signed papers on this without reading , but the sales staff hid this part from me and I could not have read it anyway.

Only did find it with a magnifying glass after the delivery guys left before I ever even had a chance to try it. They also refused to help me move the old, broken chair, (also a Bobs product) down to the loading dock so that tells you all you need about Bobs “white glove service” This chair does not support my injured leg AT ALL.

This is the first thing I checked when I sat in thr floor model. It also does not support my head although the floor model did just fine. It creeks and moans and sways from side as it moves since the mechanism was installed improperly.

All in all a very poor piece of workmanship. With Bobs, you truely do get what you pay for. Cheaply made junk.

Pros: – Fast delivery, great service – Good quality padding and cushion – USB ports – Nice top grain leather on most areas of the seat (also see cons below) Cons: – One of the seat has a minor crack in the leather – The entire back of the seat as well as the sides of the cushion are not top grain leather.

These areas are bonded leather and you can clear see the distinction. The areas with bonded leather are stiffer, less subtle and more shiny.

Great chairs! Very comfortable. Arrived with no defects. Chairs come with the backs removed so they are very easy to move. The LED lights are a nice touch. The included tray tables are super handy. The Foam is firm and deep and feels like it should hold up well over time.
