Living Room

A Riser Recliner chair will help you get from sitting to standing. They have a function that lifts and tips the whole chair up, helping you ease up to your feet gently. For the rise function to be suitable, you will need to be able to put all your weight through your legs and stand or walk independently or with a walking frame. If you can do this, but find you need someone to physically help you up out of a chair, a Riser Recliner chair may be a good option.
