Lift chair recliners come with all sorts of fabulous bells and whistles. Some of the most stress-alleviating options include massage (both vibrating and Swedish air massage) and heat (either ambient lumbar hat combined with vibrating massage or far infrared heat, a.k.a. HeatWave™ Technology). Look through our UltraComfort chair options to find one that suits your needs to help melt your cares away.
So, what are these various technologies? We'll go through them one-by-one for you.
Heat and Vibrating Massage
- What it is: Like the name says, this is a vibration-based form of massage paired with ambient heat in the lumbar area. We have two options for two- or four-motor heat and massage. With the former, you'll have two vibrating massage motors at the lumbar area and with the 4-motor, we add two more in the seat.
- Benefits of vibrating massage: Even at this most basic level, a massage from vibration stimulates blood flow, reduces stress, and can alleviate pain. It's even said to improve muscle mass and bone density. The addition of heat, loosens your lumbar area to better receive these benefits. Plus, it just feels good!
HeatWave™ Technology
- What it is: HeatWave™ Technology uses Far Infrared heat to restore your body from the inside out. HeatWave™ Technology relaxes your body, which has a calming affect, reducing stress and allowing you to get better sleep.
- The Benefits of Heatwave™ Technology: Far Infrared light waves (called "far" because of being the other side of the light spectrum) deliver not only warmth but healing. They heat your body itself versus the air around it, and this heat penetrates more deeply, consequently increasing blood flow and improving circulation. This in turn reduces inflammation which can also help you with pain points. And when Heatwave™ Technology is targeted to your back, as it is through our chairs, it can be helpful in relieving issues such as sciatica, pinched nerves, and muscle spasms. Far Infrared heat allows you to absorb the best aspects of the sun without being exposed to harmful Ultraviolet light waves. Promote overall mind and body wellness by purchasing a lift chair recliner with Far Infrared HeatWave™ Technology.
Nirvana™ Swedish Air Massage
- What it is: Nirvana™ Swedish Air Massage delivers a gentle, full-body soft tissue Swedish massage with ten air chambers that expand and contract targeting over 500 square inches of your body. These areas include the usual culprits for tightness and pain: lumbar, glutes, and hamstrings. Nirvana™ Swedish Air Massage has two modes for soothing or stretching massage, which allow you to adjust to your comfort level. The air bags expand and contract to knead and stretch muscles in myriad ways.
- Benefits of Nirvana™ Swedish Air Massage: Relax and elongate your muscles and relieve the stiffness that comes when you sit too long with the Nirvana™ Swedish Air Massage. Get a deeper massage from the air pockets that will target aches and pains throughout your body. Improve blood circulation, increase flexibility, enhance healing, and melt your cares away.
