An electric recliner chair with a footrest and a backrest is a popular choice among seniors, understandably, since it invites you to sit relaxed and comfortable for many hours. However, a recliner chair may not be the best – or the only – option for you.
The VELA chair offers many benefits that a recliner chair cannot: It goes wherever you go, it assists you in daily activities – from your morning bathroom routine to cooking dinner.
If you have one or more disabilities, it is essential to vary your sitting position for optimal comfort and support throughout the day. That is why we recommend that you use a VELA chair for your daily activities and a recliner chair for when you need to relax and recharge before the next activity.
While a recliner chair is perfect for relaxation, a proper chair for activities is just as important for your well-being in old age. That way, you give yourself the very best conditions for managing a whole day without overexertion. At the same time, you ensure an appropriate amount of activity that is good for your body and health.

The traditional recliner chair is a stationary armchair that you cannot use for domestic chores. It is the perfect chair for relaxation and recovery after a day of hard work. It is designed for total relaxation, not activity.
A VELA chair can, just as the recliner chair, be adjusted to a more relaxed sitting position, allowing you to take a small rest, for example, after eating dinner.
The best feature, though: You don’t need to get up once you are ready to do the dishes. Simply “walk” your VELA chair to the kitchen to clean up. This is especially an advantage for disabled elderly, for who standing up from a chair demands a lot of energy.
A recliner chair invites to relaxation, so use it if you need an extended rest between your activities: Elevate your legs and close your eyes. Then, gather your strength for the next task.
