Living rooms have become an even busier space than in the past. Televisions, stereos and video games are often enjoyed in this relaxing area. Therefore, many homeowners have purchased sectional recliners. These pieces of furniture can be configured in a variety of shapes, from a simple loveseat to a full "L"-shaped sofa system. In addition, sectional recliners use an arm mechanism to lift a leg rest upward for a relaxing sitting or laying position. However, the reclining tension and glide mechanics may require basic repairs after one has used the furniture for a while. Lay the sectional recliner on its back by pushing it over gently from the front. Ask a friend to help support its weight. Depending on the sofa's shape, it can be heavy. Locate the gliders on the bottom of the recliner visually. They should be long metal rails with a double-nut configuration on each one, depending on the size of the sofa.
Release the tension on the top nut with a wrench by slightly turning it clockwise. Repeat this turning process with the lower nut in a clockwise direction using the wrench. This process will repair a glider that will not allow the leg rest to fully extend when the arm mechanism is pulled. Turn the top nut counterclockwise with a wrench to tighten the connection between the two nuts. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust the glider to the desired setting. Pull on the arm mechanism to see how far the leg rest extends after each adjustment. Push the sofa over so that its arms and the headrest are on the floor. Ask a friend to help with the sofa's placement if it is a heavy item. Locate the tension adjustment mechanism under the reclining seat area visually. This mechanism is usually a wing nut. Turn the wing nut with the hands in a clockwise direction to tighten the reclining mechanism. The tightening will support a heavier person on the reclining mechanism. Turn the wing nut with the hand in a counterclockwise direction to reduce tension on the reclining mechanism for lightweight people.
Push the sofa back into its normal position. Sit in the reclining portion of the sofa and recline back. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if the tension is still not satisfactory. /Getty Images Suggest a Correction Your back is aching, and it’s no wonder! You spend three-quarters of your day either sitting at the office or on a couch watching TV. But you don’t have to just grimace and bear chronic lower back pain. Proper posture, a good office chair and some simple lifestyle changes can bring relief... How much time do you spend sitting? If you’re like most desk jockeys, it’s as much as 40 hours a week at work. So if your office chair just isn’t right, your back health will suffer, leaving you with an achy spine, sore shoulders or stiff neck. “When a chair doesn’t support your spine, your muscles have to work harder, and you’ll feel fatigued at the end of the day,” explains Paul Cooke, M.D., a physiatrist (rehabilitation specialist) at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
After a while, the vertebrae in your lower back, known as your lumbar, won’t be able to maintain spinal alignment. That puts more stress on discs and joints, leading to more pain, he says.Later, when you settle into your couch to watch TV, you may be worsening back pain. That’s because soft cushions offer even less lumbar back support than office chairs do. But your back health doesn’t have to suffer from long hours behind a desk and on spongy sofas. We asked back doctors and physical therapists for tips to finding the best office chair, relieving pain and even preventing varicose veins. Sit RightLumbar back support: The most important function of an office chair is to maintain proper curvature of your lumbar spine, Dr. Cooke says. Go Chair ShoppingIn the market for a new office chair? Luxury office chairs offer good support, says Dr. Cooke. Some also offer woven mesh seats for better air circulation, which helps keep the skin cool, he says.
But you don’t have to buy a top-of-the-line chair to get good lumbar back support. Recline: When working at your computer, you probably sit upright. But if you’re reading, talking on the phone or conducting a meeting, you can lean back. “A slightly reclined position relieves pressure on the spine,” Dr. Cooke says. Adjustable seatback: For upper-back support, the chair should be high and wide enough for your shoulder blades to rest on, Dr. Cooke says. Protecting Your Back at HomeAvoid the sofa. It’s not the best choice for sitting for long periods of time, says Dr. Cooke. “Most sofas don’t offer much lumbar back support, and there’s a tendency to slouch.” Instead, use a recliner or an easy chair with back support.Resist the urge to slump down in your chair during a “Real Housewives” TV marathon. “Have your feet on the ground,” Dr. Cooke says. “And sit far enough back in the chair so your seat makes contact with your thigh muscles.
