What is a Rise & Recline Chair?
A rise and recline chair, also known as a riser recliner, is an electrically powered armchair that helps you stand up and sit down safely. At the touch of a button, the chair gently tilts forward to help you rise to your feet, or reclines back for ultimate relaxation. For anyone who struggles to get out of a standard armchair, a riser recliner can be life-changing.
At NBR Mobility in Norfolk, we offer a wide selection of rise and recline chairs in various sizes, styles and fabrics. Whether you prefer a compact design for a smaller room or a luxurious leather chair with heat and massage, we have options to suit every home and budget. Looking for a complete comfort solution? Pair your riser recliner with an adjustable bed for 24-hour support. Visit our Diss showroom to try our chairs, or book a free home demonstration anywhere in Norfolk or Suffolk.
Types of Rise & Recline Chairs
Single Motor Chairs
The backrest and footrest move together in one coordinated motion. Simple to operate with just two buttons (up and down). A cost-effective choice that provides the essential rise and recline functions.
Ideal for: General use, budget-conscious buyers
Dual Motor Chairs
The backrest and footrest operate independently, allowing you to find the perfect position. Recline fully flat for sleeping, or raise just the footrest while keeping the back upright. Greater flexibility for personalised comfort.
Ideal for: Those wanting maximum adjustability
Tilt-in-Space Chairs
Specialist chairs that tilt the entire seating position while maintaining posture. Ideal for pressure relief and those who need to recline but must keep their hips and knees at fixed angles. Often recommended by occupational therapists.
Ideal for: Medical needs, pressure care
Benefits of a Rise & Recline Chair
- Easier standing: The chair tilts forward gently, taking strain off your legs and back when rising.
- Reduced fall risk: Controlled, powered movement means no sudden jolts or loss of balance.
- Pain relief: Find comfortable positions that reduce pressure on joints and muscles.
- Improved circulation: Elevating your legs can help with swelling and circulation issues.
- Independence: No need to rely on others to help you stand up from your chair.
- Relaxation: Recline fully for watching television, reading, or even sleeping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay VAT on a rise and recline chair?
If you have a chronic illness or disability, you can purchase a rise and recline chair VAT-free. You’ll need to sign a simple declaration confirming your eligibility. This can save you hundreds of pounds.
What size chair do I need?
The chair should fit your body properly for comfort and safe operation. Key measurements include seat width, seat depth, seat height, and back height. Many manufacturers offer petite, standard, and large sizes. Our team at our Norfolk showroom can help measure you for the perfect fit.
How much space does a riser recliner need?
Most chairs need space behind them to recline fully – typically 15-30cm from the wall depending on the model. Some “wall-hugger” designs need minimal clearance. The chair will also extend forward when the footrest rises. We can advise on specific models for your room.
What fabrics are available?
Our chairs come in a wide range of fabrics including soft velvets, durable weaves, easy-clean fabrics, and genuine leather. Many ranges offer hundreds of fabric and colour options. Waterproof and stain-resistant fabrics are also available for those with specific needs.
Do you offer heat and massage options?
Yes, many of our chairs can be fitted with optional heat and massage functions. These can help soothe aching muscles, improve circulation, and add extra comfort. Ask our team about available options.
What happens if there’s a power cut?
Most rise and recline chairs have a battery backup that allows the chair to return to the seated position during a power cut. This ensures you won’t be stuck in a reclined position. The backup typically provides several full cycles of operation.
