Our riser and recliners
We offer a wide range of both reclining and static chairs, whether you need it for your mobility, health or simply to enjoy leaning back and putting your feet up at the end of a long day. For anyone who has poor mobility that affects their ability to sit with ease, a riser and recliner could be life changing. These armchairs allow you to recline and stand up with ease, minimising aches and pains, while also improving quality of life and promoting independence.
Finding the right fit for you
Here at Hereford Mobility we take pride in providing the best knowledge and advice to assist you finding the right product to meet your unique needs. We think comfort and functionality are the number one priority when it comes to choosing the right chair. Our impressive showroom is full of options, allowing you to find the perfect match.
Choosing a riser and recliner to meet all your needs is crucial. Our options that we have available all differ in features and functionality.
Single Motor
Will rise and recline the chair in one smooth motion, although this is the cheaper option you are limited as to what positions you can be seated in.
Dual Motor
A popular option due to you being able to recline the backrest and raise the footrest independently, therefore providing you with a wider range of seating options. This also has the rising function available.
Quad Motor
Has the same basic functions as the dual motor, but with the added benefit of a fully adjustable powered lower lumbar support and headrest, offering additional head, neck and back support. This provides you with even more seating positions and only adds to the comfortability.
Tilt-in-Space Function
A zero gravity position which evenly distributes the force and stress across the body, giving total support and comfort from head to toe throughout movement, offering greater natural postural relaxation. This position is great for anyone who struggles with leg swelling.
Fireside Chair
Great if you are looking for something with comfort and support and don’t have the space or budget for a motorised chair. They feature higher and straighter backrests to promote good posture.
Reclining Sofa
Does not have the rising function, but you can still comfortably recline and alternate positions independently from the other users.
As well as a range of motors, most of our riser and recliners also come with a choice of backrests. When choosing a chair, you should also consider and try out both options in rests as this will make a huge difference in comfort for you. The most popular design is the waterfall, it provides comfort and is versatile, the cushions can be adjusted to your preference. The other option is the lumbar rest, this option is great for anyone suffering with lower back pain, as it adds additional support to the lumbar area, or for someone who is lacking in core strength and require side support to maintain a seating position.
Getting the right size
Sitting in the right sized chair can have a huge impact on the overall comfortability. Our in store advisors have excellent knowledge for what’s right for you. The chairs height, width and depth are crucial measurements to ensure you have comfort and support rather than aches and discomfort. Bear in mind while trying out something new that what you already have may not be the correct size, so reassessing may be a good opportunity.
Pressure relief and support
When it comes to positioning, pressure relief is crucial. Sitting or lying for a prolonged period of time on one specific area can cause pressure sores or ulcers. They can be incredibly painful and uncomfortable, so to prevent this, a riser and recliner will allow you to move positions independently, therefore limiting the time you spend on one area.
Taking care of your needs
When living with a disability or poor mobility, it is crucial that you take care of yourself and use the invaluable technology that enables individuals to be independent and safe.

Rise and Recline Chair FAQs
Can you sleep in a riser recliner?
Sleeping in a riser recliner is generally safe if it’s comfortable and in moderation. However, it is not recommended for extended periods due to potential side effects to your joints, muscles, pressure points and circulation.
Should your feet hang off a recliner?
Align the footrest or the ground with your feet for optimal comfort. It's crucial to avoid having your feet hanging over the footrest, as this can lead to discomfort and compromise circulation.
Do electric riser recliners use a lot of electricity?
All our Rise and Recline chairs use low-voltage systems for the safety of the person sitting in the chair. This is around 24V.
Riser recliners on standby mode use almost no power.
How does a riser recliner work?
Riser recliners run off mains' power and have in-built motors to rise and recline the chair.
The chair is operated by a handheld control that is connected to the chair’s motors.
At the press of a button, the riser recliner gently and safely adjusts to the desired position – which goes from being fully reclined to fully risen.
