FAQs

• How Do I Choose the Right Riser Recliner Chair?

  Choosing the right riser recliner chair is much easier when you do not have to guess. Comfort, support and fit all matter. That is why our experts will visit you at home to guide you through all the available options, ensuring you get a bespoke recliner that truly fits your needs.

  They will take the key measurements, check the space, recline clearance and help you find the right size and level of support needed. They will also go through the personal touches with you including over 250 fabrics and colours, as well as the features that make day to day use more comfortable.

• What is a Riser Recliner Chair?

  A riser recliner chair is a powered armchair that gives extra support with the two movements people usually struggle with most, sitting down and standing back up. It reclines for comfort, and it can gently lift and tilt forward to help you rise more smoothly and with less effort.

  The chair uses electric motors to move into different positions, so you can find what feels most comfortable for you. Some people only need a small lift to take the strain off hips and knees. Others benefit from a fuller rise that makes standing feel more steady and controlled.

  Many riser recliners can also be tailored with comfort and support features, such as adjustable positioning, added lumbar support, and options like heat and massage. They are often chosen by people living with arthritis, joint pain, or reduced mobility, and by families or carers who want seating that feels comfortable, supportive, and helps someone maintain their independence at home.

• Why choose a bespoke riser recliner chair?

  Bespoke design matters because comfort and support are not one size fits all. A bespoke riser recliner chair is made around the person using it, so it feels right in the ways that matter most, how you sit, how you rest, and how you stand back up.

  The biggest difference is fit. Getting the seat height, depth, and support right can reduce the strain that builds in hips, knees, and lower back, and it can make the rise feel steadier and more controlled. That is often just as important for families and carers, because it brings reassurance that the chair is genuinely suitable, not simply close enough.

  Bespoke also means choice. From the features that make day to day use more comfortable to the look and finish that suits the home, you can tailor the chair so it supports independence without making the room feel clinical.

• How much are riser recliner chairs?

  Because every chair is made to suit the person using it, the cost depends on the choices you make. Things like the size and style, your fabric or finish, the type of motor, and any added features all play a part.

  Some customers keep it simple and focus on the right fit and support. Others add extra comfort features, or choose a particular look and finish to suit the room. Either way, the goal stays the same: a chair that feels right day to day and supports independence at home.

  If you are working to a budget, our team can talk you through the options and help you prioritise what will make the biggest difference for comfort and ease of use, without paying for things you do not need.

• Can a chair be tried at home before committing?

  Yes. A free home trial lets you try the chair properly in your own home, where fit and comfort are easiest to judge. It also means you can see how it works in the space, check recline clearance, and make sure the controls feel straightforward before you decide.

• Do you offer supportive seating for couples too?

  Yes. Our free home trialmobility sofas, with two and three seater options are designed for shared spaces where one person needs extra support, but comfort still needs to work for more than one person.

  They are a popular choice when a loved one is finding sitting down or standing up harder, providing a steady, supportive place to rest that can be shared with other friends and family members. You can also choose a look that suits the room, so the living space stays warm and familiar rather than feeling medical.

• Do these chairs need to be plugged in, what happens during a power cut?

  Most chairs include a battery backup so you are not left stuck in one position if the power goes off. The backup is there to help you return the chair to a safe position, not to run it like normal for hours. We will explain exactly what your chosen chair can do during a power cut and what simple steps to take so you feel safe.

• How do I clean and maintain a riser recliner chair?

  Maintaining your riser recliner chair is usually straightforward. For day to day care, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth is often enough, we will advise on the best approach for your chosen fabric. The main thing is avoiding harsh cleaners that can damage upholstery over time.

  For the mechanics, bespoke riser recliners are like any piece of powered furniture, they work best when they are looked after. If anything starts to feel unusual, slower movement, a change in sound, a handset issue, get in contact with us. We can advise on aftercare and servicing that helps keep everything running smoothly so the chair stays reliable for everyday use.
