A Guide to Made to Order Riser Recliner Chairs

We all want to feel comfortable in our daily lives – and it becomes even more important the older we get. The right furniture can have a big impact on our wellbeing, with the ability to reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and make it easier to relax at home.

Here at HSL, we’re committed to designing and manufacturing high-quality furniture that’s tailored to the specific needs of our users. We believe that furniture should make you feel good – and we’ve been making furniture that does just that for over 50 years. We design all of our furniture around you, to ensure that it fully supports your head, neck, back and shoulders, as well as suiting your mobility needs.

For those seeking comfort and functionality, our made-to-order riser recliner chairs are the perfect solution. They’re a comfortable option for everyone, but are particularly beneficial for people who have additional mobility needs. With a simple touch of a button, they lift and tilt you to help you sit down and stand up with ease.

Riser recliners are designed with comfort in mind, and they’re a particularly good option for people with mobility issues. We offer a range of different back styles so that you can choose the one you find most supportive – but all offer deep cushioning for added comfort. Plus, the ability to change the position between sitting and reclining means you can relax in the position that feels most comfortable for you.

The chairs are also made with an ergonomic design that ensures that users receive excellent back support, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy posture and reducing strain on the spine. The cushioning is strategically placed to provide maximum comfort while also promoting proper alignment. They’re designed for the ultimate comfort and support, with cushions that are strategically designed to support proper posture, especially your head, neck, shoulders and back. 

Riser recliners are also made with ease of use in mind. They’re a great choice for anyone looking for a comfortable chair, but are particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues. These chairs are designed with a motor (either dual or single) that allow the user to rise up from a seated position at the touch of a button. That helps to ease pressure on the joints, including the knees, hips and lower back, giving people with limited mobility more support and independence by reducing the reliance on others for assistance.

There are various factors to be considered when choosing a chair, from your mobility to how much space you have in your home, to ensure you find the perfect match. Do you need a chair that assists with standing – and if so, do you prefer a single or dual motor? What room will the chair go in – and how much space do you have available? Remember that the chair needs to be able to fully recline, so it can’t sit against the wall. You should also think about how much time you’ll spend in the chair and whether additional features for added comfort (and seat pockets) are important to you.

HSL offers a free home consultation service to help you find the right chair for your needs. One of our expert Comfort Specialists will visit you in your home with a selection of chairs so you can try out different options to see what style and size best suits your needs.

During your home visit – or at one of our showrooms, if you prefer – we also offer an Exclusive Chair Fitting. This ensures that you choose the right size of chair to ensure that each part of the body is supported to maximise your comfort and overall wellbeing. You’ll take a seat on one of our chairs, and our Comfort Specialist will talk you through our Exclusive Chair Fitting Guide, explaining the importance of each point of contact between the chair and your body, while ensuring that the chair is supporting you properly. They’ll then be able to recommend the best option for you based on your posture and preferences.

You want to ensure your made to order riser recliner chair is the perfect fit for you and your lifestyle. Some of the key considerations when choosing your chair include the type of motor you prefer, the chair dimensions, cushioning, and the type of backrest. Whatever you choose, your chair should support your mobility needs, as well as fitting in your space and looking good in your home.

There are two types of motor to choose from: single and dual. A single motor controls the backrest and footrest together, while a dual motor allows the backrest and footrest to be adjusted independently. Dual motors are typically more expensive, but they also allow for more flexibility.

It’s crucial to get a chair that’s the correct height and depth to ensure a proper fit. A chair with the right dimensions will help you to sit with the right posture and alignment, supporting your head, neck, shoulders and back, and preventing muscle strain.

Riser recliners are designed to help you get to your feet. They have a motor system built in that gently lifts and tilts the chair to help you more easily get into a standing position. This promotes independence and reduces the strain on your joints and muscles during the sitting-to-standing transition.

Choosing the right backrest style is key for comfort and support. We offer three types of backrest in our riser recliner chairs: orthopaedic (firm support that encourages good posture, perfect for people with back pain), waterfall (soft yet supportive for your back, neck and hips), and button (firm support and a classic look). And, of course, you can expect the ultimate comfort from all types of backrest. 

Selecting the correct seat cushion is essential for individual comfort. The right cushion provides tailored support, alleviating pressure points and ensuring long-lasting comfort.
