RISE AND RECLINE CHAIRS

There are many different styles and functions of chairs of which electric riser-recliner chairs are just one.

Most people who purchase a chair will tend to make their decision based on the style and colour.

However, for a person who has a disability or is simply wishing to care for their back more effectively, the decision process should be much more similar to choosing a new pair of shoes.

We all require a different size to fit us and different styles are available for different purposes.

Reclining chairs provide comfort, support and pressure relief when resting/dozing in the chair.

As the chair reclines it can help to prevent the head falling forwards (which often happens during sleep) and helps to maintain a more comfortable posture in a chair.

A riser-recliner chair requires enough space in the room to enable the seat back to recline and the foot rest to come out.

There are basically two different types of riser-recliner chairs, although some companies offer other options.

THE FIRST TYPE OF RISE AND RECLINE CHAIR:

One way chairs - have just two buttons operating one motor which operates the back rest and leg rest simultaneously.
As the leg section raises the back rest begins to recline.
This type is very popular due to its simplicity and ease of use.
However due to lack of choice you should ensure you like the reclined positions it offers you.

THE SECOND TYPE OF RISE AND RECLINE CHAIR:

Two-way chairs - have four or more buttons operating two motors.
This allows the back rest and leg rest to be operated separately allowing greater choice of positioning.
