Choosing between a Medical Recliner or Glider Rocker

Trying to find the right seating option for your medical facility can be overwhelming. Between the number of manufacturers to choose from and all the different styles of seating options, it is difficult to decide which is the best for your patients.

 Novum Medical offers options that make the choice easy. We have found that both Medical Recliners and Glider Rocker chairs are popular in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Recliners and Glider Rockers offer maximum comfort for patients, but they vary in their construction and movements.

Recliners offer lumbar support and allow you to rest in a position that is almost as comfortable as lying down. Some features of our recliners include lever-operated footrests, finger-pull operated back, back locks in any position from upright to a flat sleeping position, 3″ swivel locking transport casters, and easy cleanout. Recliners are ideal for Hospitals, both for patients and visitors who spend the night. Recliners can also be used in Long Term Care facilities for patients who do not desire the gliding motion.

Glider Rockers slide back and forth in a smooth horizontal motion and sway back and forth in a stronger movement. If you favor the gentler feel, a glider may be the right choice for you. Some features of our Glider Rockers include ergonomic design, long and smooth gliding motion for ultimate relaxation, optional integrated padding for next-level comfort, a variety of fabrics and finishes, and chairs that are fully or partially upholstered. Gliders are the perfect option for the senior community in Long Term Care facilities or for Nursing Mothers in Labor & Delivery Suites.
