0's aunt's advice: Choose a seat for your parents, don't just look at the beauty, details are very important!
Do you live with your parents every day?
If you haven’t lived with your parents, how long has it been since you came home to see your parents?
Do you know your parents’ daily life habits and preferences?
Many young people choose to work hard in big cities, but when their parents get older, they don’t like the noisy life in big cities. They prefer to return to their hometown and enjoy the days after retirement comfortably.
is probably because young people and elders have different choices, so many friends do not live with their parents now.
No matter whether we live with our parents or not, we should care more about our parents' lives in life so that our parents can live a more comfortable life.
Today I want to share with you the suggestion given by an aunt born in the 1960s:
If you want to choose a seat for your parents, then don’t just look at the beauty, the detailed design of the seat is more important!
- You should choose a seat with armrests
When the elders get older, they may not be convenient when they bent down and get up, so they need to have a handrail every time they sit down and ride a bike. Therefore, when choosing a seat for their parents, the first thing they need to consider is whether the seat has armrests.
If the seat does not even have armrests, then parents will easily fall when they sit down or are about to get up.
Although the armrests of the seat cannot guarantee 100% that parents will not fall, for them, having a handrail will add a sense of security in their hearts, which will make them feel safer when sitting down or getting up.
Everyone needs to pay attention to the edges of the seats as smooth as possible and do not have particularly sharp corner designs. If
is particularly sharp, you may accidentally bump into the corners when you get up or walk around, which can easily cause damage.
In addition, The height of the handrail should be consistent with the position of the elbow joint , so that after the elderly sit down, the handrail can naturally support the elderly's arms, which can make the upper body muscles and other muscles relax better and more comfortable.
If you can choose , the handrail has a soft bag, which is better. , so that it won’t feel too cold when you touch it a lot, and the soft handrail will make people feel more comfortable. You can naturally put your elbows on the handrail when you sit down, which will be more suitable for the elderly.
- Choose a seat cushion and backrest with better elasticity
If you choose a seat for the elderly, it is recommended that you choose a seat with a seat cushion and backrest design, so that your body will feel more comfortable when you sit down, and your waist can also be supported, which will be more suitable for the elderly.
When choosing, everyone needs to pay attention to the better resilience of the backrest and the cushion. In this way, even if you sit in the same position for a long time, the cushion will not collapse and the service life will be longer.
In addition, try to to choose a cushion and backrest with moderate softness and hardness to ensure that the muscles of the elderly can get a certain amount of support when they sit down, but they will not be too hard. If they are too hard, they will also give people a particularly uncomfortable feeling.
When choosing a backrest, everyone also needs to use more snacks.
The backrest of the seat is best to fit the elderly’s back . Relying on the curve, the elderly can get stronger support when relying on them, which will be more comfortable.
If the seat itself has a bad backrest, you can also consider configuring a separate backrest.
- Select a seat with suitable height and seating depth
Height and seating depth will also affect the comfort. In this regard, Because everyone's height is different from the usual habit of sitting down, everyone should make a choice according to the needs of their parents or elders in the family.
In terms of height, the height of the seat of the should be slightly lower than the knee height of the elderly, so that when the elderly sit down, their feet can be placed flat on the ground and their legs will not be curled up, which will be more comfortable.
In terms of sitting depth, the seating depth of the should be the same as the length of the thighs of the elderly. In this way, the legs muscles of the body can be fully relaxed when sitting down, and the muscles of the waist and back can also be fully supported, which will be more suitable for the elderly.
Because everyone's height is different from their usual sitting posture, it is best for everyone to let the elderly go to the store to try it. This will facilitate choosing seats with the right height and seating depth, which will be more suitable for the elderly.
Summary:
Seats are just a furniture product that the elderly will use in daily life. In addition to seats, when choosing other household items or household appliances, you should also fully consider the living habits and usage needs of the elderly. If you cannot be with your parents all the time, then you should also make them feel more comfortable as much as possible.
