RISER RECLINER CHAIRS

FAQs

• What is a Riser Recliner Chair?

  Rise and recliner chairs are designed to allow people to sit down and stand up with minimal difficulty or strain. Operated with either a remote control or levers, the user can lie almost flat to snooze, sit upright to chat with a friend or recline a little to watch TV… there is a position for virtually every scenario.

  Our luxury mobility chairs are available in various fabulous upholsteries, fabrics, sizes, motor action types and backrest styles. Because they’re made-to-measure, your body will be supported in all the right places, especially the hard-working joints of the neck, spine, hips and knees. If your current chair is lumpy, uncomfortable or leaves you feeling cramped, achy, stiff and sore, then it’s time to invest in a new one.

• What are the Benefits of a Riser Recliner Chair?

  Being able to recline to different levels takes the pressure off certain parts of your body – for example, raising your feet is a great way to rejuvenate tired legs at the end of the day and help boost circulation. The various back styles (waterfall, lumber, button and more) have been created to help reduce symptoms of different physical conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica and general soreness. As an added bonus, they look great in any indoor setting, whether your preference is a country cottage, modern chic, or anything in between.

  In the longer term, the adjustable positioning offered by rise and recline chairs can increase circulation, decrease fluid retention, alleviate varicose veins, leg ulcers and cellulitis, and aid recovery from surgery.

  A riser recliner can also be of significant benefit for the partners of people with mobility problems, as it gives the affected individual more independence in their day to day life and reduces ones’ reliance on others for mobility related tasks.

• What Should I Look for in a Recliner Riser Chair?

  Using a mobility chair that is not suited to your physical needs, or one that is poorly designed, can put undue strain on your musculoskeletal system, ie your bones, muscles and joints. If you suffer from back pain, the chair’s back style is of great importance, as is having a seat of the correct height, width and depth for your posture. If you are affected by arthritis, look for features including memory foam cushions, an adjustable back and headrest and supportive armrests with wooden knuckles.

• How to Use a Recliner Chair

  A good quality rise recliner chair will last for many years and can be used in any living room, lounge room or bedroom setting. They’re perfect for sitting for extended periods, as the remote control allows you to change position without having to move. Electric motors enable extremely precise positioning, as the foot and back rests can operate independently of each other.

  Recliner chairs are also suitable for snoozing or napping in, and the superior comfort they provide can even make it easier to sleep – especially if you suffer from aches and pains.

• What are the Best Riser Recliner Chairs for the Elderly?

  It is well-known that exercising leads to better health and we should aim to avoid sitting for lengthy periods. However, sitting is a normal part of life and in some situations, there is no option but to sit for extended periods. As we age, limited mobility, long-term health conditions or short-term illnesses can also result in more sitting. A comfortable and supportive chair is therefore essential to aid mobility.

  We also know that getting in and out of traditional chairs can be an uncomfortable process for people with limited mobility and those who are elderly. A rising recliner chair does the hard work for you, by allowing you to recline, sit up and get out of the chair at the touch of a button. This ability to sit and stand with greater support also reduces the risk of straining, slipping or falling.

• Can Riser Recliner Chairs Improve Mental Health?

  One other important health benefit that mobility armchairs can bring is the improvement of your mental well-being. Sitting down should be comfortable and tranquil, and a chair should be a safe place to relax, catch up with family and friends, watch TV, play games, read a book or even have a snooze.

  At the Mobility Furniture Company, we never underestimate the importance of mental health and what peace of mind can bring. Living in pain can be an exceptionally stressful experience, and taking action to reduce that pain is uplifting. Being able to get in and out of a chair can also make a huge difference to an older persons’ mental well-being, as it helps to promote mobility, prolongs independence and allows them to maintain a sense of dignity.
