Creating an Accessible Lounge
Lifestyle & Mobility understand the importance of a lounge to your home. And that is why we offer a wide range of products to keep your lounge accessible and enhance your independence. That doesn’t just relate to riser recliner chairs, there is so much more available. This includes premium standing aids such as the Stander Assist-a-Tray, shown opposite. This is a great example of a product which doesn’t take up much space, but has an outsized impact thanks to dual functionality.
One of the most straightforward of all accessibility products is the humble ramp. Not only for getting indoors and outdoors, ramps can be useful for moving between rooms if doorframes are in the way. Of course, they are also very useful, for wheelchair users in particular, if you want to go from a lounge to a garden with ease.
Meanwhile, for those needing a more specialist access and mobility solution in their lounge, there is one product line in particular which might meet those needs.
A Solution for Work and Play
Do you need to fuse comfort with practicality? Then there is a prescriptive solution for this. Perfect for those who work from home, the VELA chair line is one to look into if you’re wanting to create an accessible workspace. Lifestyle & Mobility employ experienced assessors who can assist if you’re interested in going down this route. This service is particularly useful because a VELA chair is a complex and life-changing investment.
Make Your House a Home Again
Needless to say, a VELA office chair is a specialist product, and we know that the first role of a lounge is as a place of relaxation, not a workspace. So, let’s return to more luxurious and comfortable items. If we’re talking about lounge chairs, then we need to mention pressure relieving cushions. Pressure cushions are a core component of comfort. And they aren’t always as expensive as you might think!
Entry-level, “off-the-peg” pressure cushions for use in the lounge start at bargain prices. Lifestyle & Mobility are proud to offer simple yet effective pressure solutions at under £35. Do you have additional comfort and pressure relief needs? Not a problem. There are dozens of suitable pressure relief cushions to choose from both online and in our showrooms. Again, the starting prices are very reasonable. Many of our customers have turned to basic yet customisable cushion options for creating an accessible lounge. The Invacare basic cushion starts at just £49. That sort of price is great for a made-to-measure product.
Further Suggestions
Accessibility in the lounge is hugely important for those with mobility needs, but liveability will always be a consideration also. That is one reason why we introduced our comprehensive Lifestyle & Home selection. You can view this for yourself at our flagship Basildon store, or online via this link. From rugs and wall art to mobility and static furniture, there’s so much to discover.
