1. Homegear Microfiber Power Lift Electric Recliner
Homegear’s power lift chairs are both stylish and functional. This recliner is a high-end model with advanced massage and heating functionality.
The cushions on this recliner are filled with gel-infused foam to alleviate pressure points and keep you cool. When you sit you will feel a lot of support with just enough comfort. This is one chair you could sit in for hours without feeling it when you get up.
For those long and stressful days, the massage function helps you relax – with or without heat. The interior of this model has a carbon fiber heating element that delivers consistent, even heat through the main body of the chair.
This model also features variable sonic massage function. The remote control, which controls the massage and reclining/lift function, is wired to the side, so you never have to worry about losing it.
A couple of the things we really liked about this recliner was the whisper-quiet motor and convenient pockets on each side of the chair. It is also made with environmentally-friendly materials.
