Riser Recliners

Riser recliners are specialized chairs designed to provide comfortable seating for people with mobility issues, particularly those with difficulty standing up or sitting down. They provide a range of adjustable positions that enable users to achieve optimal comfort, support and ease of movement. If you or a loved one struggles with mobility, a riser recliner could be a valuable addition to your home.+

What Are The Different Types Of Riser Recliners?

Single Motor Riser Recliners

Single motor riser recliners are the simplest and most affordable type. They have one motor that controls both the backrest and footrest simultaneously, meaning that as the backrest reclines, the footrest also rises. These chairs typically have two or three positions, and the user can adjust the position using a remote control.

Dual Motor Riser Recliners

Dual motor riser recliners are more advanced than single motor chairs. They have two motors, one to control the backrest and another to control the footrest. This means that the user can adjust the backrest and footrest independently, giving them greater control over their seating position. These chairs offer more positions than single motor chairs, making them ideal for people who need more support or comfort.

Wallhugger Riser Recliners

Wallhugger riser recliners are designed to save space in smaller rooms. They can be placed closer to the wall as the base of the chair moves forward instead of backward when reclining. This means that the user does not need to move the chair far away from the wall, making it ideal for smaller living spaces.

Bariatric Riser Recliners

Bariatric riser recliners are designed for people who need extra support and stability due to their weight. They are built with wider frames and reinforced materials to accommodate heavier users. These chairs also come with dual motors for greater control and support.

What To Consider When Buying a Riser Recliner

Size and weight capacity

Consider the size of the chair and the weight capacity it can support. Ensure that the chair fits the user comfortably and provides enough support.

Features and adjustability

Look for chairs with features that meet your specific needs, such as dual motors for more control, heat and massage functions for extra comfort, and easy-to-use remote controls.

Fabric and upholstery

Choose a chair that is easy to clean and maintain, especially if the user has incontinence issues. Opt for fabrics that are durable and stain-resistant.

Price

Riser recliners vary in price, with higher-end models having more features and adjustability options. Set a budget and choose a chair that fits within it.
