I've reached the point where I am considering purchasing a rise/recline chair for my husband.
He is still very mobile but I have noticed that he finds it difficult to get comfy in his chair (our 3 piece suite is very old and doesn't provide the support it used to) and he finds the arms too high or maybe it's that the seat has sunk too low, and he seems to get leg cramps and has trouble getting out of the chair sometimes.
Anyway, I've started looking around and have decided that, as we do not have a large lounge, I would be better going for something called a 'wall hugger' because they only need to be about 4ins from the wall and rise/recline within their own space.
I am just wondering if anybody else has had experience of these and can help list any pros and cons that might help me decide on what to get e.g. controls, material etc.
I think I might be inclined to go for a darker colour in the hope that it will hide a multitude of sins later on as the disease progresses and the inevitable accidents occur. Or maybe the materials are easy to clean anyway, so it doesn't matter on the colour?
Anything, any detail that might help me make a good decision on what will be a costly purchase would be very welcome
