The changing seasons and cooler weather create an environment for nature to settle in, and it cues us to do the same. For that, we embrace the comfort of home in our favorite seats in the house. A recent study of 2,000 nationally representative Americans conducted by market research company OnePoll found that 66% of Americans have a self-designated “spot” to sit at home. Now that our houses are both de facto offices and staycation destinations, no wonder finding the right seat is more important than ever. From the living room, to den, office and places in between, today’s recliners provide functional comfort wherever we take our special seat. Call it a recliner renaissance, but the trusty recliner has actually never been far out of fashion. Today, recliner manufacturers customize chairs and sofas for the contemporary home owner: whether tech-connected millennials, athletes seeking to massage post-workout muscles or pains, or seniors needing an extra lift, recliners have moved from bulky centerpieces of days past to a must-have in today’s home. Michael Schwartz, president of the M. Jacobs collection of seven furniture stores across Oregon, says “Recliners offer something for everyone. Technology and design advances mean these seats meet a variety of needs whether the goal is comfort, therapeutic or aesthetic.” Founded in 1938, M. Jacobs opened its Bend store in 1980 and has evolved to provide Central Oregon buyers with not only brand name home furnishings, but lines that provide multiple customization options. With the many fabrics, styles and even range of reclining abilities (from lean-back, lever pulls or remote-control options), customization puts the consumer in charge of creating the right combination of form and function. Rockers, recliners, swivel, lift, gliders and zero gravity chairs each provide unique benefits and can look more modern—some have sleek Scandinavian design. “The best way to find the chair that’s right for you is to come into a showroom, talk to experts that know each furniture line, and sit in a variety of models,” says Michael.
Tech Savvy Lifestyle-enhancing technology such as built-in USB ports meld comfort with practicality—features that resonate with all ages.
Rocker Gliders Anyone seeking rest and relaxation appreciates the smooth rocking motion of glide systems such as Ekornes Stressless® BalanceAdapt® technology which naturally balances the user’s body weight.
Zero Gravity: By mimicking the position of astronauts in space, these recliners reduce the stress on your body, improve blood circulation and reduce joint swelling and back pain.
Lift and Massage: Motorized lifts help those with injuries or disabilities to stand up or sit down with ease. Athletes appreciate heat and massage options for post-workout recovery.
