Choosing the Right Riser Recliner Chair for Comfort and Independence

What is a Riser Recliner Chair?

A riser recliner looks like a stylish armchair but includes a quiet motor that gently raises and reclines the seat to help you sit, relax, or stand with ease. It’s a mobility aid and a beautiful piece of furniture in one.

Single-motor: Backrest and footrest move together. Simple, smooth, and ideal for everyday comfort.

Dual-motor: Back and legs move independently for personalised positioning (great for posture or circulation support).

Benefits at a Glance

  • Ease of standing & sitting: Reduces strain on hips, knees, and joints.
  • Improved circulation: Elevate legs to reduce swelling and support blood flow.
  • Better posture & back support: Orthopaedic seating helps alignment and comfort.
  • Enhanced independence: Adjust your position without assistance.
  • Style that suits your home: Modern fabrics and finishes that look as good as they feel.

How to Choose the Right Chair

1) Motor Type: Single or Dual?

Choose simple one-touch operation (single) or flexible independent control (dual) based on your comfort needs.

2) Seat Height & Fit

Feet flat on the floor, knees at a right angle — that’s your comfort checkpoint. Visit a showroom for expert measuring and fitting advice.

3) Upholstery & Style

From classic fabrics to soft leather finishes, pick a look you love. Mobility furniture should feel like furniture — not equipment.

4) Support & Extra Features

  • Lumbar and neck cushions for posture
  • Heat & massage options for soothing comfort
  • Battery back-up for safe use during power cuts

5) Budget & VAT Relief

We keep pricing fair and transparent. If you have a long-term illness or disability, you may qualify for VAT relief.
