What is a Rise Recliner Chair?
Rise recliners are armchairs designed for people who find it difficult to stand up. These chairs can recline back to an almost-horizontal position for relaxation and ache relief. They can also be used as risers, tilting forward to lift you to your feet. This is perfect for anyone who struggles getting up from their chair, or is prone to falls when standing.
Single Versus Dual Motor Chairs
Whether you want a single or dual motor chair depends on individual needs. Generally, single motor chairs are perfect for users looking for an easy and more basic rise recliner. They usually feature a straightforward two-button handset, with one to recline the chair and the other to rise it when you want to stand.
Chairs with dual motors allow a greater variety of seating positions. The two motors enable the leg rest to be elevated or lowered and the backrest reclined independently for more flexible support. For example, the backrest can be positioned upright while the leg rest is elevated, perfect for watching television!
