Q: What is the Purpose of Rise and Recline Chairs
A: Rise and recline (riser recliner) chairs are made purposefully to assist individuals who face mobility challenges. The chairs are motorised and offer a smooth transition between sitting, reclining, and standing positions at the touch of a button. Ideal for elderly users, those with mobility issues, or anyone with long-term illness or recovering from surgery or injury, these chairs provide crucial support for everyday comfort.
There are different types of riser recliner chairs available, which all vary in features; however, they all fundamentally serve the same purpose. They prioritise making the user’s life easier by improving independence and comfort. From single motor to dual motor rise and recline chairs, the right model will depend on your individual needs.
Q: What is a Riser Recliner chair?
A: Most people know of recliner chairs, but the riser recliner goes that little bit further in the fact that it allows the user to go easily from a sitting to a standing position.
Electric riser recliner chairs are the ideal, comfortable choice for people with limited mobility. Rise and recline chairs provide you with multiple benefits that allow you to have independence while aiding those with limited mobility, improving your health and wellbeing. Due to this, choosing the right rise and recline chair for you is vital.
With an extensive range of mobility rise and recline chairs available, it can be difficult to find the perfect match for you.
There are several different types of Riser Recliner Chairs available, but all of them are available to be purchased without VAT (Zero Rated). This is because they are designed for people with a long-term illness or permanent disability. To qualify for zero rating, you must be able to confirm by a declaration that the user has a long-term illness or disability. A broken leg will not suffice.
All riser recliner chairs are electrically operated and will normally need to be connected to a mains power point (a plug!)
Q: What are the Benefits of Rise and Recline Chairs?
A: It is of utmost importance to select the right rise and recline chair as we spend 9-10 hours seated per day.
Here’s why these chairs have become a priority for individuals who are facing mobility challenges:
- Movement Fluidity: The electric reclining feature allows users to effortlessly change their position, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
- Enhanced Comfort: These chairs are ergonomically designed to provide maximum comfort and support, making them ideal for relaxation or extended periods of sitting.
- Increased Independence: Users no longer need assistance getting up from a seated position, boosting their autonomy at home.
- Improved Circulation: By adjusting to different recline angles, users can reduce swelling and improve circulation, especially in the legs.
Q: What is the difference between Single, Dual and Triple and even Four Motor Riser Recliners?
A: The simple answer is the number of motors that the chair has; the more functions each chair is capable of providing
Q: How many motors should my riser recliner have?
A: Depending on what you need from your chair, a dual motor can be a good choice as it allows
Q: What is a Single motor riser recliner chair?
The first of the riser recliner chairs is a single motor model. This, as the name implies, has just one motor; the benefit is that it is the least expensive of the chairs available. It will by pressing the button on the handset set take the person using the chair from a sitting position to standing, allowing them to walk away without any pressure on joints such as knees or hips. Once the user returns the chair, it will, at the touch of a button, return them to the sitting position. From there, it is easy to recline the backrest and raise the legs. You can stop the action at any point to find your most comfortable position.
The downside of the single motor riser recliner chair is that as you raise your legs, the back reclines, which means that if you want to have your legs raised, you will also recline the back of the chair so you might be looking at the ceiling rather than the TV.
Our range of single motor riser recliner chairs starts from £549.17 (VAT Zero Rated)
Q: What is a Dual motor riser recliner chair?
A: The next model is a dual motor riser recliner chair. This chair comes with two motors, which will operate separately from each other. This chair will be just the same as a single motor version in standing and sitting the user, but once seated, the options are different.
There are four buttons on the handset, one that controls the standing and sitting movements and which can then raise the footrest. This then allows the user to put their feet into a raised position without moving the backrest. It is ideal for reading, watching TV or just taking part in general conversation.
Once you want to put your feet down and perhaps go to a standing position (it’s time for lunch), simply press the other button and it is all done for you!
After lunch, return to your dual motor riser recliner and let the chair take the strain! Once you have your legs raised to a comfortable position, use the other buttons to allow the backrest to recline, and who knows what you will dream as you relax in comfort.
The real benefit of a dual motor riser recliner chair is that of being able to raise your feet without disturbing the position of your back. The four buttons on the handset (some may have five, see details below) all do different things, one will return the footrest to a closed position and then raise you to a standing position, opposite that on the handset, the other button will reverse this action and take you back to being seated, continue to hold that button and the footrest will raise up again. The other two buttons will move the backrest to allow you to recline or to come back to an upright position.
As mentioned, some handsets may have five buttons, the extra one is an override with control over all the actions, which will take the chair back to a seated position
Due to the maximum relaxation and limitless positions available in this type of chair, you needn’t compromise on comfort in favour of support. Whether it is required to aid you with a chronic condition, support rehabilitation after surgery or to enable more freedom in your home, the multiple adjustment options allow you to find unmatched comfort through easy seating positions. Plus, this type of rise and recline chair can alleviate pressure and reduce the risk of developing painful sores through the positions and ability to distribute weight more evenly.
Our range of dual motor riser recliner chairs starts from as little as £565.83 (VAT Zero rated)
Q: What is tilt in space?
A: This version has all the benefits of a normal riser recliner as well as the ability to raise your feet higher than your heart.
The tilt-in-space mechanism enables independent adjustment of the backrest and footrest to find your perfect position. Furthermore, with its tilt in space feature, it enables you to tilt the chair while seated or reclined, helping you raise your feet above your hips to relieve stress on your body and improve circulation.
Q: What’s a Triple Motor Riser Recliner?
A: (You need to make this more general to all Triple Motors and then use this model as an example.)
Introducing the Triple Motor Riser Recliner: Combining style and comfort, this chair features a cutting-edge Single Motor Premier mechanism for effortless rise and recline and other adjustments.
This is no ordinary triple-motor recliner chair. With the back rest and foot rest motor working independently as well as an additional motor for that extra lumbar support.
So, as well as the rise function that safely and easily supports you as you sit down or stand up, you can separately adjust the leg rest and back angle.
The independent back and leg movement ensures you find the perfect position for maximum comfort, as well as adjust the pitch of the headrest and the support of the lumbar section. The Triple Motor also boasts a ‘zero gravity’ feature which equalises your weight distribution to reduce the chance of pressure sores and better circulation – you will feel as if you are weightlessly floating.
Q: What is a 4 Motor Riser Recliner
A: The most advanced of today’s riser recliner chairs are the four motor models now available. With all of the features of a dual motor chair, these models also have an extra motor that controls a powered headrest to help with support of your head and neck. #ideal for when you are reading or watching TV or even working on your tablet. As well, they have the fourth motor that allows you to adjust the lower lumbar area so that you can eliminate most back pain.
Q: How do I care for a Riser Recliner Chair?
A: It is essential to keep your rise and recline chair well-maintained, as it encourages the longevity of your furniture:
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum or wipe down your chair regularly to remove dust and dirt, especially in areas prone to spills or wear.
- Check the Mechanisms: Periodically check the motors and moving parts to ensure everything is working smoothly. Lubricate the moving parts as needed.
