Relaxation Epitomized : Why You Gotta Have Your Own De-Stressing Chair

Hancock and Moore Living Room Cooper Tilt Back Chair 2043/2042: Can you picture how relaxing it would be to sit in this chair?

Stress is a word that’s becoming more and more common in modern society. There are those who even believe that a little stress could even be good. Sure, a little boost of adrenaline to push you through the day is good but being up and about all the time just isn’t healthy. What counters stress is just this one word – relaxation.

Relaxation Is Heart-friendly

High blood pressure, heart attack, and all sorts of heart problems could occur in the absence of relaxation. Stress is actually considered to be on the same level as other health risk factors. Those moments when a person experiences shock or stress, whether positive or negative (e.g. winning a contest or losing a loved one) can trigger adrenaline rush, thus, causing the heart to not function normally.

Relaxation Boosts Memory

Chronic stress impairs the human prefrontal cortex which is the part of the brain that is involved in cognition, abstract analyses, and the appropriation of behavior at any given circumstance.

Stress tests in mice led to an impaired center of the brain leaving them struggling in remembering the usual maze where they were placed at. Studies have also proven that certain brain proteins are created during stress which leads to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Relaxation Makes You Happy

Chronic stress has been known to kill brain cells or even prevent the hippocampus’ creation of new ones.  The prolonged presence of stress leads to upped cortisol levels which, in turn, decreases dopamine and serotonin. This eventually leads to depression.

People who are under stress are not able to think clearly.

Cortisol is also known to increase people’s appetites, thus, when you’re relaxed, you tend to say no to junk foods and sweets more easily.

Relaxation Means Having the Right Kind of Chair

Chairs are often taken for granted. But can you imagine a dining room without them? Or a living room without a seating unit for everyone?

Though people spend more time in their beds, it still makes sense to find a chair that you are truly comfortable in. After all, you spend your waking moments there.

The Hancock and Moore Living Room Copper Tilt Back Chair is one such comfy chair. It can beautifully match any décor and it has an amazing back support to make you even more at ease.

Just imagine relaxing in front of the TV after a long, tiresome day at work. Or imagine curling up in your comfy chair during an extra cold wintry night.

So what are the characteristics of a comfy chair?

Adjustable. Every comfortable chair has an adjustment feature. Most office chairs come with adjustable height (this can be used by spinning the chair round and round or by stepping on the base of the chair) while home chairs come with tilting positions (these normally come with adjustment levers on the side).

Durable fabric. The chair’s fabric is permeable so that the skin can easily breathe while you’re seated on it. It is also durable so that you get to use the seat for a very long time.

Rounded edge. The back of the legs is spared from pressure when you have a chair that comes with rounded edges.

Stable. A comfy chair also does not topple sideward. It must have a base that can amply support the rest of the weight of the chair.

Armrest. The most comfortable chairs come with armrests. It must also allow room for movement. This feature is also required on chairs that are used for reading, working or even that relaxing evening when you’re watching movies with your family.
