If you don't have a need for a riser/recliner, electrically adjustable recliners come a close second in terms of ease of use. Or if you prefer not to be plugged in, there are also a variety of manual recliners and sofas available. The widest range are from the British manufacturer, Sherborne Upholstery, who make both electrically adjustable, rechargeable (so no mains attachment is required unless you're recharging) and manual recliners. We also stock a variety of reclining chairs from the Norwegian manufacturer, Elano. Many of Elano's fireside chairs also have a reclining action and so it may also be worth looking at those as an alternative.
Many of the chair designs are also available as fixed armchairs, sofas and either manually or electrically adjustable sofas.
As with all seating, for maximum comfort it is important to choose a chair that is the correct size for the user and which has the right degree of adjustability. The manual recliners and sofas do require a certain amount of leg and upper body strength to adjust the position of the leg support and back. The electrically adjustable models do that job for you.
All the Sherborne recliners have the following features:
