Discover Ultimate Comfort & Support with a Riser Recliner Chair
Welcome to MLV Mobility. A riser recliner chair is more than just a comfortable seat; it's a key to maintaining your independence at home. Designed to help you sit down and stand up effortlessly and safely at the touch of a button, these chairs also offer exceptional support and comfort. This guide explains the main types of riser recliners to help you find the perfect chair for your living room.
Dual Motor Chairs: For Independent Control & Infinite Positions
What Are They?
A dual motor chair offers the ultimate in customisable comfort. It uses two separate motors, one for the backrest and one for the footrest. This means you can move them independently, allowing you to find the perfect position for your needs, whether that's sitting upright with your feet elevated or lying almost flat for a nap.
Best for:
Users who spend long periods in their chair, require specific postural support, or simply want maximum flexibility to find their ideal comfort position.
Limitations:
They are typically priced higher than single motor chairs due to the additional mechanism. Although, MLV Mobility do not typically stock single motor chairs.
Quad Motor+ Chairs: For Ultimate Personalisation
What Are They?
Taking customisation to the next level, quad motor (and above) chairs offer four or more independent motors. In addition to controlling the backrest and footrest, these chairs allow you to adjust the powered headrest and powered lumbar support, providing micro-adjustments for perfect posture and targeted support exactly where you need it.
Best for:
Users who need highly specific postural support for their head, neck, and lower back. They are the premium choice for those seeking the most personalised and therapeutic seating solution.
Limitations:
These are advanced chairs, often reflected in their price point.
Tilt in Space Chairs: For Advanced Postural Support & Pressure Care
What Are They?
A Tilt in Space chair is a specialist seating solution. The entire seat and backrest surface tilts backwards in one smooth motion, maintaining a constant angle between your body and the chair. This is different from a standard recline, as it redistributes your body weight over a larger surface area, significantly reducing pressure points.
Best for:
Users who spend the majority of their day in their chair or those with complex postural needs who are at a higher risk of developing pressure sores. It provides the highest level of pressure care available in a riser recliner.
Limitations:
This action does tend to be on more premium chair offerings, and this is typically reflected in the price point.
