Do you hate how your recliner slips on the carpet, every time you sit down or get up?<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E97\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E98\">Well, that happens with most recliner owners, especially with folks that have tile floors. The sliding can damage the feet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalhomeimprovement.org\/best-recliner-for-sleeping\/\">the recliner<\/a>, or it can cause stains on the floor.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E99\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E101\">There\u2019s<\/span><span id=\"E103\"> no need to worry now, as we are here with an affordable remedy to stop it from sliding. All you need is some feet grippers, and you are good to go.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E104\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E106\">But<\/span><span id=\"E108\"> how to install them? Learn it with us:<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"E109\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading2 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Steps_to_Install_Grippers_on_the_Recliner_Feet\"><span id=\"E110\">Steps to Install Grippers on the Recliner Feet<\/span><\/span><\/h2><p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1550 size-harrison-horizontal-list-post\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medicalhomeimprovement.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Recliner-Feet-Non-slip-960x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p><p id=\"E111\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E112\">Grippers are available in two options, i.e., plastic grippers and rubber grippers. The choice is entirely up to you. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"E113\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E114\">Some people prefer plastic grippers due to their durability, whereas some prefer rubber. <\/span><\/p><p id=\"E115\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E116\">If you have a recliner with wooden feet, go for plastic grippers. On the other hand, if the recliner has metal feet, rubber grippers would be the best.<\/span><\/p><h3 id=\"E117\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading3 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Step_1_Turn_the_Recliner\"><span id=\"E118\">Step 1: Turn the Recliner <\/span><\/span><\/h3><p id=\"E119\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E120\">Ask someone to help you in turning the recliner so that you can access the feet. Use a carpet or an old rag and place it on the floor. Now turn the recliner on the cloth to prevent it from getting dirty. <\/span><\/p><h3 id=\"E121\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading3 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Step_2_Install_the_Grippers\"><span id=\"E122\">Step 2: Install the Grippers <\/span><\/span><\/h3><p id=\"E123\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E124\">Now clean the feet using an old rag, and install the feet grippers. Installing the feet grippers is easy, and you can do it just by pushing the gripper over the feet.<\/span><\/p><h3 id=\"E125\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading3 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Step_3_Test_It\"><span id=\"E126\">Step 3: Test It <\/span><\/span><\/h3><p id=\"E127\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E128\">Pick the chair, and put it on the carpet. Now the recliner will hold its position. You can even <\/span><span id=\"E130\">give it a try<\/span><span id=\"E132\"> by hopping over the recliner to see if it still slides.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E133\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-1\"><span id=\"E134\">A pro tip: <\/span><span id=\"E135\">Before using grippers, check the placement of the recliner. If it <\/span><span id=\"E137\">is placed<\/span><span id=\"E139\"> against the wall, then it will slide every time you recline it. Try to change the placement of the recliner before using grippers.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E140\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E141\">If it <\/span><span id=\"E143\">doesn\u2019t<\/span><span id=\"E145\"> work, you have another option, and that\u2019s using grippers.<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"E146\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading2 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Is_there_anything_else_you_can_use_instead_of_grippers\"><span id=\"E147\">Is there anything else you can use instead of grippers?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><p id=\"E148\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E149\">So, you didn\u2019t find any grippers for the <\/span><span id=\"E151\">recliner?<\/span><span id=\"E153\"> <\/span><span id=\"E155\">Or<\/span><span id=\"E157\"> are you looking for a DIY remedy? We have something <\/span><span id=\"E159\">that\u2019ll<\/span><span id=\"E161\"> save you money!<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E162\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E163\">Usually, feet grippers are affordable, but if you want to try something else, you can use bottle corks. Bottle corks <\/span><span id=\"E165\">are used<\/span><span id=\"E167\"> to manufacture feet grippers, and you can prepare grippers at home as well.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E168\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E169\">Cut the cork into two, and put it under the recliner. Use a scale to make sure that you get properly leveled feet grippers.<\/span><\/p><h3 id=\"E170\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading3 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Change_the_Carpet\"><span id=\"E171\">Change the Carpet <\/span><\/span><\/h3><p id=\"E173\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E174\">Sometimes things are wrong with the carpet itself, and you cannot do anything with the recliner. Use another piece of rug and see if the recliner still slides when you sit on it. Most people found changing the carpet helpful, and it can save you from using feet grippers.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\"><div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\"><h2 id=\"E175\" class=\"qowt-stl-Heading2 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"Final_Words\"><span id=\"E176\">Final Words <\/span><\/span><\/h2><p id=\"E177\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E178\">With these tips, you can bid goodbye to the sliding recliner. Always use feet grippers that are compatible with the recliner\u2019s feet. Glue them properly if required to sit back and relax with peace. Lastly, let the glue dry properly so that the grippers <\/span><span id=\"E180\">don\u2019t<\/span><span id=\"E182\"> come off easily.<\/span><\/p><p id=\"E183\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E184\">Do you have some other hacks to prevent a sliding recliner?
