The Health Story Behind HULALA HOME Power Lift Recliner

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, prolonged sitting has become a key factor contributing to lower back discomfort and spinal health issues. During the development of our lift chair, we conducted extensive research and found that many users—especially seniors, office workers, and individuals in recovery—suffer from inadequate lateral support. This not only causes poor posture but also increases the risk of spinal rotation and scoliosis.

To address this, we launched a design innovation journey focused on “support and health,” aiming to create a power lift recliner that seamlessly blends comfort, wellness, and technology. This next-generation electric assist chair not only retains the practical dual-motor function for independent back and footrest adjustment, but also achieves significant breakthroughs in ergonomics and user support.

Hugging Support: Enveloping Comfort

Drawing from medical and office ergonomics, we revolutionized the head and lumbar design. The sides of the headrest are curved inward to gently guide the user into a proper posture, effectively preventing cervical spine fatigue. The adjustable neck pillow allows users of different heights to find a natural fit, enhancing rest and sleep comfort.

To address the lack of side support, we developed a 3-sided lumbar structure. The winged side supports cradle the lumbar spine like a pair of strong arms, preventing sideways tilting and twisting during long sitting sessions. The central zone provides vertical support to maintain the spine’s natural S-curve. This structure is especially beneficial for users with lumbar spine disorders, weak core muscles, and elderly users, allowing prolonged sitting without discomfort.

Double-Layer Comfort Cushion: Tailored for Spinal Health

The seat uses a dual-layer design: a soft upper foam layer offers plush comfort, while the high-density lower foam ensures long-term resilience. This structure helps distribute pressure across the coccyx and ischial tuberosities, making it ideal for those with osteoporosis or sciatic nerve sensitivity.

Nine-Square Innovation: Breathe Easy, Sit Smart

To better support individuals with lumbar spine conditions, our team looked to medical-grade seating for inspiration, opting for a medium-firm backrest. This balanced firmness avoids localized pressure from overly hard surfaces while maintaining sufficient support that soft cushions often lack. Inspired by the "nine-square grid" design, the backrest also features open sections that promote airflow, allowing users to lean back comfortably without feeling overheated or stuffy.

DIY Your Comfort: Personalize Your Reclining Experience

Everyone’s body and preferences are different. That’s why we designed adjustable neck and lumbar pillows. Users can modify their support angles based on their sitting or resting posture, creating a fully personalized motorized ergonomic lumbar support recliner.

Heated Recliner: Gentle Warmth for the Lower Body (Fabric Version Only)

To meet the seasonal needs of cold weather and the elderly, we integrated a 45°C constant temperature heating function into the seat cushion. This feature relaxes stiff muscles, improves circulation, and relieves pressure on the lumbar spine—particularly helpful for joint issues and poor lower limb circulation.

Ideal For: 

• Office workers: Reduces fatigue from prolonged sitting and supports proper posture
• Seniors: Makes getting in and out of the chair easier, supports rehabilitation
• Patients in recovery: Provides secure support for those with lumbar spine disorders or post-surgery recovery
• Expecting and New Mothers: Offers gentle lumbar and pelvic support throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.

FAQs

Q1: Who is the electric lift chair suitable for?

A: Especially beneficial for users with lumbar issues, poor posture, sedentary office work, elderly care, and post-surgery recovery.

Q2: How is this different from a regular recliner?

A: This model emphasizes 3-zone ergonomic support, upgraded centralized airbag massage, and larger heating functions—focusing on wellness and comfort.

Q3: Are the heating and massage functions safe?

A: Yes, both features have undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety and reliability:

• Airbag massage system delivers gentle, rhythmic compression, avoiding overstimulation—ideal for users with sensitive lower backs.
• Heating function maintains a consistent temperature of 45°C (113°F). The highest tested stable temperature was 51.3°C (124.3°F), which remains within a comfortable and safe range for the human body.
• Durability test: After operating continuously under a 140kg (308 lbs) load for 300 hours, both the heating pad and airbag system functioned normally without any faults.
• Low-temperature resistance: The remote control performed normally after 4 hours of continuous use in a -10°C (14°F) environment.

Q4: Is the upholstery fabric prone to damage?

A: No. The fabric used has passed 50,000 cycles in abrasion tests, which qualifies it as heavy-duty under international furniture industry standards. It is designed for frequent use in both residential and commercial settings.

Abrasion Level Reference:

• Below 6,000 cycles: Decorative use only (e.g., cushions, curtains)
• 15,000–25,000 cycles: General domestic use
• 25,000–40,000 cycles: Heavy domestic use
• 40,000–100,000+ cycles: Commercial/premium use (e.g., hotels, airports)

Additionally, our faux leather variant is formaldehyde-free and eco-friendly, making it safe and easy to clean.

Q5: What quality tests has the product passed?

A: We follow the BIFMA X5.4 standards (American National Standard for Office Seating) to ensure long-term durability and user safety:

• Backrest: 120,000-cycle fatigue test
• Seat cushion: 100,000-cycle fatigue test
• Seat impact test: 350 lbs load (exceeding the BIFMA 300 lbs standard)
• Frame: 10,000 load-bearing cycles under operation
• Motor: 25,000-cycle fatigue life test, ensuring long-term reliable performance
