If you have limited mobility, sitting down and getting up from a chair can be difficult. Riser recliner chairs make sitting and standing easier and safer by lifting you up and lowering you down at the click of a button. They help reduce the strain of sitting and standing on your muscles and joints whilst providing ultimate comfort.
With many different types of recliner chairs on the market, and at multiple price points, it can be tricky to understand what you’re getting for your money. We’ve put together this riser recliner chair product price guide to help.
Riser recliners typically come in two different types, single motor and dual-motor riser recliners. However, some riser recliners may include a third motor – these are designed for bariatric users.
A single-motor riser recliner has one motor that controls all the electric components of the chair, and so the backrest and leg rest move in unison. Dual motor riser recliners have two motors, one that controls the backrest and one that controls the footrest allowing them to be moved independently.
Single motor riser recliner chairs are often cheaper, as they have more limited functionality. These usually start at around £500 but can be more expensive depending on the fabric and style you choose.
Dual motor riser recliner chairs are more expensive as they have more functionality. Prices usually start at around £550 but can cost up to and over £2,000. Like a single-motor riser recliner, the price of your dual-motor riser recliner chair will depend heavily on the features, fabric and style you choose.

All rise and recline chairs feature a padded back, arms and seat and will work with a remote control to lift you from a seated to a standing position and lower yourself back down. You can also use the remote to lift the built-in leg rest and lower the backrest whenever needed, this can be handy for anyone needing to change position regularly or keep their legs elevated while sitting.
Riser recliner chairs typically come with one of three types of backrests:
Alongside the practicality of a riser recliner, the appearance and look of the chair are important. Riser recliners come in fabrics and styles similar to normal armchairs; leather, vinyl and fabric. Typically, leather and vinyl riser recliners are easier to clean and wear better, but a fabric recliner offers higher levels of comfort.
Long periods of sitting in a chair can cause unwanted pressure on the body. Therefore if you find yourself sitting for a long time choosing a rise recliner with built-in lumbar support and pressure relief can help you maintain a good posture while reducing the amount of pressure on your body from sitting down.
There are many benefits of a riser recliner chair, including;
People with low mobility can find it difficult to keep their bodies moving throughout the day, which can lead to poor circulation. A riser recliner allows the user to switch position at the touch of a button, allowing them effortlessly move into a position that encourages better blood circulation.
Riser recliner chairs have been specifically designed to help people with reduced mobility stand and sit easier and independently. They raise the user to an almost standing position and when sitting down the user can lower themselves back down from the raised position.
Sitting in the same position for hours can leave you with uncomfortable aches and pains. Riser recliner chairs allow the users to change their position throughout the day, while not having to move from the chair - helping prevent aches and pains.
Being able to move positions throughout the day can help take the pressure off different parts of your body which can help reduce the risk of developing pressure sores.
