Electric Riser Recliner Chair – A Life-Changing Bit Of Kit!
If you or someone you care for is finding it harder to sit down or stand up from a standard armchair, an electric riser recliner chair could make a world of difference.
At The Care Team, we understand how important comfort, dignity, and independence are — especially when mobility becomes more challenging. In this blog, we’ll explain what electric riser recliner chairs are, how they work, and why they’re one of the best mobility aids you can invest in.
What Is an Electric Riser Recliner Chair?
An electric riser recliner chair is a specially designed armchair that tilts forward to help users stand up with minimal effort. At the press of a button, it gently raises or lowers the seat, and also reclines back for maximum relaxation and support.
These chairs are perfect for elderly individuals, people recovering from surgery, or anyone with limited strength, balance, or joint pain.
Key Benefits of a Riser Recliner Chair
1. Greater Independence
You don’t need to wait for someone to help you get up. With a riser recliner chair, you’re in control. It promotes independence in the home — something we know is hugely important to many of our clients.
2. Comfort and Support
Many riser recliner chairs come with padded cushions, lumbar support, and adjustable positions to reduce pressure on joints and improve circulation. Some models even include heat and massage functions.
3. Improved Safety
Getting up from a low chair can lead to falls, especially for those with weak legs or dizziness. A powered riser function reduces this risk by lifting you smoothly to a standing position.
4. Ideal for Recovery
After a hip or knee operation, or during long-term illness, an electric riser recliner can ease pressure on joints and make resting or sleeping much more comfortable.
Who Can Benefit from a Riser Recliner?
These chairs are commonly used by:
-
Older adults with reduced mobility – (see our post riser recliner chairs for the elderly)
-
People with arthritis, Parkinson’s, or MS
-
Those recovering from surgery or illness
-
Anyone who wants more comfort and support at home
At The Care Team, we work closely with individuals and families to help them find the right solutions — including mobility equipment that makes day-to-day life easier.
Things to Consider Before Buying
Before choosing a riser recliner chair, consider:
-
Size and fit – The chair should support your height and weight correctly.
-
Single or dual motor – Single motor controls rise and recline in one movement; dual motor allows independent adjustment of back and legs.
-
Additional features – Heat, massage, storage pockets, and more.
-
Room space – Make sure there’s enough clearance for reclining and rising functions.
