How does a riser recliner chair work?
A riser recliner chair is a gateway to more independence, bridging comfort and convenience to make a real difference to the life of those with reduced mobility.
Riser recliner chairs are designed with lift and tilt mechanisms that take the hard work out of going from seated to standing and vice versa, along with reclining capabilities that see them transform from an armchair to a recliner.
But how does a riser recliner chair work and how can choosing the right recliner chair mechanism benefit your health and improve your mobility? Let’s take a look.
Easing into your rise and recline chair
For individuals with mobility issues, getting in and out of a chair can be challenging, limiting independence and making it difficult to get comfortable at home.
Riser recliner chairs are designed to make the transition from standing to seating simple and effortless. Rather than requiring you to lower yourself into the chair, a riser recliner chair mechanism brings the seat up to standing level, so that you needn’t bend down at all.
Once you are ready, simply press the button and a lowering action will bring you to a seated position; perfect if you have knee or back issues, or are unsteady on your feet.
Putting your feet up
Footrests are one of the main benefits of riser recliner chairs. Models including our Rise N Reclinechair feature a built-in footrest with a recliner chair mechanism that will allow you to easily elevate your legs and feet, offering not only more comfort but also supporting and easing pressure on the lower body.
Footrests can also help lift the legs above heart level, helping with circulation issues, so putting your feet up can be good for your health as well as your mind.
Lean back with gentle reclining
So how does a reclining chair work? The gentle reclining function will allow you to find a comfortable resting position at the touch of a button.
When you press the button, the chair’s backrest and footrest will mechanically adjust to support you into a gently reclined position. Riser recliner chairs are designed to reduce any strain on the body for maximum comfort, whether you are getting comfy to read or cosying up for a nap.
Getting out of your rise and recline chair
When it’s time to stand up, recliner chair mechanisms are designed to do most of the work for you.
With the touch of a button, the mechanisms will gently tilt and raise the chair, guiding you from a seated to a near-standing position. This steady transition will put you in a good position to fully stand safely and with stability, reducing strain on the body and the chance of injury.
Single-motor vs dual-motor riser recliner chairs
Along with how to use rise and recline chairs, the difference between single-motor and dual-motor models is one of the most frequently asked questions.
A single-motor riser recliner chair uses one recliner chair mechanism to control both the footrest and the backrest, so both move together. Dual-motor chairs, like Monarch Mobility’s Rise N Recline chair, feature separate controls for the backrest and footrest, allowing each part to be adjusted individually and offering more options for chair configuration. This flexibility enables you to better tailor your seating position to your individual preferences and support needs.
