Riser and Recliner Chairs for Better Independence

Articles

Losing our independence as we age can be a challenging thing to deal with. Simple tasks like getting in and out of chairs become a struggle, requiring assistance with standing up and sitting down. This is where riser recliner chairs can make a big difference. These supportive armchairs can provide a new sense of independence and confidence in older people, while also being a comfortable spot to rest and relax.

Let’s explore how these chairs help restore independence to many people.

How Riser Recliner Chairs Provide Support for the Elderly Living at Home

Riser recliner chairs can raise and lower, assisting in getting in and out of the chair. This reduces straining to get up and down, suitable for the elderly or those with mobility issues. Due to this assistance, you’ll no longer need someone to help you out, improving your independence at home.

Alongside this assistance, other benefits also contribute to improving independence while using these chairs.

Supportive Design

The supportive design of the chair works to relieve pressure placed on your back and joints. This is particularly suitable for those who struggle with back pain or arthritis, providing relief so you can rest properly and feel comfortable getting up and moving again. This supportive design also works to maintain and even improve your posture by supporting your back’s natural curve.

Relief from pain and improved posture will work to improve your mobility and independence, ensuring your joints and spine are properly aligned and not under strain all the time.

Health Benefits of Riser Recliner Chairs

While working to relieve pain and support your joints and spine, riser recliner chairs can also provide other benefits to your life. Sitting for long periods can pose a health risk, but with the functionality of a riser recliner chair, you can put your feet up to promote better circulation.

Putting your feet up can also prevent further health problems, such as varicose veins, as well reducing swelling. These benefits should help you feel better than you would sitting in a regular chair, working to better your independence through improved health.

Bespoke Features for Extra Comfort

These supportive armchairs already provide top-tier comfort. With adjustable positioning, you can recline back and put your feet up, or sit up straight at the press of a button, allowing you to find the perfect spot for you. However, with our optional accessories, these chairs can have even more capabilities.

Options include heat and massage for deep relaxation, arm covers for a comfier spot to rest, castors for ease of movement, a reading light for your book and even USB chargers so you can stay connected while sitting! These accessories can enhance the experience even more, allowing you to create the ideal chair for your needs. If you suffer from serious back pain, for example, our heat and massage function can provide more relief, helping soothe the issue and helping you to get moving again.

Or, why not have a friend join you? We also have riser recliner sofas, for two or three people! These sofas have all the same functionality, with more room for friends and family to join you.
