Welcome back to our Blog page, which offer more in depth information on many of the products we supply.

In this blog we hope to give you more information on some of the Riser Recliners we supply and some general information on what to think about when you are looking for a riser recliner chair.

We carry in stock approx 40 riser recliner, all with next working day doorstep delivery.

To start with, A riser reclineris a big purchase, It is a mobility product and could improve your quality of life immeasurably, allow you more independence and better quality of life.

If you have never used a riser recliner before, they do take a little getting used to. As the chair rises you slowly, it can be a little disorientating as you feel you may slip out of the recliner, but all the recliners stop as soon as you remove your finger from the button. Many newer style models allow the back to move backwards as the recliner is rising, allowing the user to stand more upright when exiting the recliner rather than hunched forward.

There are basically 2 different style of riser recliners. The is a single motor and a Dual motor.

The difference between the 2 is quite simple.

The single motor raises the footrest and when the footrest reaches a certain level, then the back will start to recliner. Depending upon the manufacturer you choose, the height the footrest comes up before the back reclines will vary slightly.

The Dual motor allows you t work the footrest and back independently, which allow total versatility. The Dual motor riser recliner usually has a 4 or 5 button handset, So it is a little more complicated and my not be suitable all customers. The single motor recliner has a much simpler handset and is usually a 2 or 3 button handset. Some handsets have a cutout key which stops the grand kids messing on your pride and joy when the come to visit.

Almost all riser recliner now have a backup battery pack, they are only designed to work very occasionally of the backup pack, and will allow you to get out of the recliner should you have a power cut. You will need a plug socket within a couple of meters of the recliner to plug in the transformer box.

As with all furniture, the recliners do come in different sizes, so please check all measurements to ensure that you order the correct size, The easiest way to do this is to compare the dimensions on a website to a chair you are comfortable sitting in now.
