Are you going to buy a riser recliner but confused with so many riser recliners in the market? Riser recliners can be bought for £299 and can shoot up to thousands of pounds. When you are investing a significant sum on restwell riser recliner chairs you would surely want to get it right. So, what are the things you should keep in mind when you go to purchase? Read below.

  1. You must have heard about single and dual motor recliner chair. Single motor riser recliner is a simple 2-button handset. When the back reclines, the footrest raises at the same time. This means when the back is reclined you are in a fully reclined position, not an ideal position if you want to watch TV. The Dual motor has 4-5 controls to control the footrest and the backrest independently. It is versatile and expensive than single motor riser recliner.
  2. Many UK manufacturers offer their riser recliners in three positions: Petite, Standard and Royale. People have different shapes and sizes so a chair that may be suitable for one person may be totally unsuitable for the next person. The rule of thumb is that when you are sat in the chair your feet should touch the floor, the backrest should support your back and the front of the seat should catch the back of the user’s knee. The back height should support the head without it rolling about.
  3. Some riser recliners do not allow the footrest to extend fully means, the footplate slopes forward when raised. Such a riser recliner is useless for customers who experience fluid in the legs. A riser recliner that allows the footrest to lift above the seat cushion, allowing excess fluid to naturally drain from the legs.
  4. There are several coverings available for most riser recliners. You can choose from Leather, PVC, Bonded leather, Fabric and Anti-Bacterial Fabric. While anti-bacterial types are ideal for home care and hospitals, PVC can be easily wiped down. However, if are going for leather covering you must remember that if your room is warm the leather will be warm also. Purchasing a quality leather or fabric is a good choice if you wish to get a longer life out of the recliner.
  5. Many retailers offer extended warranties on riser recliner chairs. Almost, all products supplied in the UK come with at least a 12 month warranty period. But if you wish to extend your product warranty you can do it by paying an additional cost.

6. The next important thing to consider is the after sales service. Pride recliners chairs are purchased more as a necessity than a luxury, so after sales service is critical. British made riser recliners can seem expensive at the point of purchase, but the quality of the product and the length of the warranty make it worth every pound.

7. Last but not least, make sure you have researched online about the brands available. Although, most British manufacturers offer great value but it is always better to be safe than sorry.
