If getting in and out of a regular armchair has become a challenge, a riser recliner chair may be the answer to provide comfort and give you more independence in your home. A rise and recline chair does what “it says on the tin” – it rises up to help you move from a sitting to standing position plus it “reclines” into a comfortable horizontal position for a nap. A single motor recliner chair will let you lower the backrest and raise the footrest at the same time. With a dual motor riser recliner, you’ll have a lot more control over the angle of the backrest and the footrest. But with over 40 different riser recliner chairs available at the Bann Mobility showroom, we know it can be hard to choose which one is the right one for you. To help you get started with your search, we asked our resident “chair expert” to pick out his favourite chairs and here is our top six riser recliner chairs for 2021.
