Riser Recliner Chairs

What is a Riser Recliner Chair?

A riser recliner chair is an electrically powered armchair that can gently recline or raise to assist users from sitting to standing. Ideal for people with limited mobility, these chairs combine comfort and functionality, making them perfect for those who need extra support or simply want to relax in style.

How Do Riser Recliner Chairs Work?

Our electric riser recliner chairs are powered by in-built motors and designed to adjust smoothly using a handheld remote.

Whether you're looking for a fully reclined position for relaxation or a gently lifted position to assist standing, these chairs are designed to move seamlessly and safely.

What Are The Benefits of a Riser Recliner Chair?

Using a riser recliner chair can greatly enhance your comfort and independence by providing tailored support and effortless movement. These chairs are designed to improve posture, alleviate pain, and promote better circulation, offering numerous advantages for everyday living, including:

1. Independence at home

Struggling to get in and out of your current chair? The gentle lift-then-tilt transition used in our riser and recliner chairs makes it easier for you to use your chair without the need for assistance - so you can always stay independent in your home.

2. Enhanced comfort

Customise your seating position to suit your body, whether you need postural support or a relaxing recline. For those with swelling in the legs or feet, our automatic heel plinth extenders—built into all of our chairs — provide a comfortable resting place for your heels. 

3. Reduced risk of injury

The smooth lift-and-tilt motion helps minimise strain, making everyday transitions safer and easier.

4. Better circulation and pain relief

Elevating your legs can improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and alleviate pressure points.

5. Built-in features for additional support

From tilt-in-space positioning to automatic heel plinth extenders, enjoy enhanced comfort designed with care in mind.

What is the Difference Between Single and Dual Motor Riser Recliner Chairs?

Single motor chairs are simple and easy to use. One motor moves the backrest and footrest together, perfect for relaxing into a comfortable position.

Dual motor chairs offer more flexibility. You can adjust the backrest and footrest independently to find your perfect position. They even recline fully flat for ultimate relaxation.
