Riser Recliner Chair Movements Explained

Different mechanisms provide the smooth movement and functionality to suit your comfort requirements and the space available. Whether you need a riser recliner for mobility, health conditions, or simply to enjoy leaning back and putting your feet up at the end of a long day, the variety of movement options are designed to suit your individual needs.

There are many options when purchasing a riser recliner, so here’s a simple guide to finding your ideal chair.

Tilt-in-space movements

A benefit of tilt-in-space chairs is that there is no ‘back shearing’, or movement of clothes because the backrest does not separate from the seat like a usual riser recliner. Instead, the entire chair tips back on a strong rocker mechanism. Tilt-in-space chairs naturally elevate your legs above your pelvis and aid poor leg circulation, and other related ailments where a relief of pressure on the legs is favourable.

Single Motor Tilt-in-Space

Great comfort plus good for circulation and pressure relief as the users ankles elevate higher than the hips.

Single motor riser recliner chairs elevate the footrest and recline the backrest in one smooth motion. A typical footrest rise of 45 degrees can be expected, as this is a comfortable position for reading and watching television.

Tilt in Space Dual Motor

Dual motor tilt-in-space models offer the greatest flexibility for back and leg rest positions. The motors can work together to maintain a 85 degree back angle, or can work separately to create a fully reclined position.

Single Motor Wall Hugger

Wall huggers are ideal for rooms that have a premium on space. Rather than recline backwards, the backrest slides forwards in the chair frame, allowing the chair to be placed closer to walls and other furniture.

Designed for smaller spaces, it moves through the same motions as the Single Motor Tilt-in-Space but can operate in less space as it does so by cleverly operating over its own axis.

Standard Dual Motor

Dual motor riser recliner chairs allow the backrest and footrest to move independently as there is one motor for each of them. You can tailor your position, so being sat upright while having the footrest elevated is possible and vice versa.

Because this movement offers independent leg rest and back rest functions. Seat box remains static inline with the arms during recline, offers independent back rest, ankle almost lifted to level of hip.Plus Size – Rise and Recline chairs up to 445kg

What Does Bariatric Mean?

You may have heard the term “bariatric,” but what does it really mean?

Well, if you do a quick Google search, you will find that bariatric means “relating to or specialising in the treatment of obesity.” When you hear the term “bariatric” being used in a medical setting, it is referring to the treatment, prevention, and causes of obesity.

Obesity is a serious health condition classified by excess body fat that can greatly affect your health. It is linked to a long list of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, osteoporosis, and strokes.

A person is classified as having obesity and may be referred to as a bariatric patient when they have a body mass index (BMI) that is equal to or greater than 30. BMI is used to measure weight in relation to height.

Obesity classes are then determined by what range your BMI falls into. Class 1 obesity encompasses BMIs of 30-34.9, Class 2 as 35-39.9, and Class 3 as 40 and above. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for developing chronic diseases.

The field of bariatrics focuses on and treats those who have obesity to promote weight loss and increase overall health with diet, exercise, and behaviour therapy. When thinking of bariatrics, you may think of bariatric surgery, which is also known as metabolic or weight-loss surgery.

Although this may be a common reference, the term “bariatric” does not always mean surgery.

Bariatric can refer to items that are created for obese individuals to best suit their needs. For example, a bariatric scale is a scale that is specially made for individuals that have obesity. Other bariatric devices are specialty crafted to provide ease and comfort and can be used to move, assist, and aid bariatric patients.Options and Accessories – for your Rise and Recline chair
