This quality allows turning your chair in any direction you choose without standing up from it. It’s especially convenient when standing up is an issue (for example, if a person using a recliner chair is a pregnant woman, an elderly person, a disabled person or someone recovering from physical trauma).
Swivel recliners often come with other functions, most often a rocking function. However, sometimes they have a massage feature as well. But it doesn’t mean that it’s about all you can expect from a recliner chair. These chairs come in all shapes, colors and sizes imaginable and can satisfy even the most demanding customers.
Who are swivel recliners for?
The short answer is recliners are for whoever enjoys relaxing with maximum comfort. However, there are certain groups of people who can get especially significant benefits from using a swivel recliner on an everyday basis.
People with spine and joints issues
When reclining in a chair, you can relax your body completely and instantly feel some pain relief just thanks to the fact the tension in your muscles goes away. Besides, this position improves blood and liquids circulation in your body, which removes the unpleasant sensation of heaviness in your legs and feet.
People with physical disabilities and people recovering from injuries and surgeries
Recliners offer the support and comfort no regular chair can provide. For handicapped people and those with limited mobility due to an injury or post-surgery rehabilitation, moving from one chair to another may be a great issue. Unlike any other piece of furniture, recliners can provide reliable support for your body whether you sit, recline or lie down. And it doesn’t take much effort to make it transform from one position to another.
Elderly people
Limited mobility and health issues that come with the old age make recliners almost indispensable when it comes to elderly people. The adjustability and mobility of swivel recliners help to relieve pain and stress on the joints and muscles, give older people a sense of independence and confidence and provides much-needed comfort.
Pregnant and nursing women
The changes in the body that come with pregnancy cause many issues, from heaviness in legs and feet and swollen joints to sleep issues and back pain. And since the chance to relax, have some rest and a sound sleep means a great deal for pregnant women, recliners are incredibly helpful. Again, it’s their adjustability that plays an important role. Future moms can move them to any position they feel the most comfortable in at the moment. Besides, the swivel feature gives them mobility without the necessity to stand up and walk around and the gentle rocking motion provides the soothing and calming effect. And nursing moms can enjoy the comfort and support that helps them relax during breastfeeding.
Anyone who needs to relax and de-stress after a long way spent running around
Recliners help to relax, calm down and provide stress relief like no other chair, sofa or bed. There’s nothing better after a long stressful day than to be able to stretch your legs and recline in a comfy recliner and feel all the tension seep away.

Swivel recliners FAQ
How do you stop a swiveling swivel recliner?
If you want to stop your swivel recliner from swiveling, there are a few ways to do it. Each of them largely depends on what type of recliner you’ve got and what kind of swiveling mechanism it has. First of all, you might need to turn the chair upside down and have a look at its swiveling system. One of the solutions is to tighten the screws so that the swiveling mechanism stops moving. Another solution is placing a rubber or metal spacer or bushing between the swiveling mechanism and the chair’s bottom and secure it in place.
Can you lock a swivel recliner?
It depends on the type of the recliner you own but some recliners do offer the possibility to temporarily lock the swivel function. This possibility is most often there for the recliners designed for seniors to make it easier for elderly people to sit on and get off the recliner. To have the swivel function locked, sit down in your recliner and pull at the recliner lever, then push it back to return to the upright position. Find a knob underneath one of the arms near the chair base and turn it to lock the swiveling function.
How do you stop a recliner from moving?
If you don’t want your recliner, or any other piece of furniture, to move around, use furniture grippers. They are small round stoppers commonly made of cork or rubber or other softer materials. You attach them to your chair’s legs or base which will make them remain stable and skid-proof.
