The Healthcare Benefits of Riser Recliners
Choosing the right seating solution can make a significant difference to health, comfort and everyday quality of life. Here’s why so many people (and the Occupational Therapists who support them) choose a riser recliner from Channel Healthcare.
Improved Independence
Allowing users to get in and out of their chair comfortably and independently, without relying on others for help. Regaining that everyday freedom can make a real difference to how you feel.
Enhanced Comfort
Easily adjust positioning at the touch of a button to relieve pressure and improve circulation. Every Channel chair is built for the specific users body, not just anyone's.
Tailored Support
From the perfect size to a range of posture and positioning features, each chair is designed specifically for each user with support for a wide range of health conditions and mobility needs.
Better Posture
Waterfall back cushions and optional neck and lumbar supports help the user to maintain a healthy, natural posture throughout the day, reducing strain and the risk of secondary complications.
Reduced Fall Risk
The gentle motorised rise function reduces the effort required to stand, lowering the risk of stumbles and falls; one of the most common safety concerns for older adults and those with limited mobility.

Pressure Relief
Tilt-in-Space functionality redistributes weight and reduces prolonged pressure on any single area, helping to protect skin integrity and manage the risk of pressure sores.

Quality You Can Trust, Made in Britain
When it comes to uncompromising quality standards and top quality materials, we believe that British is best. That’s why we’re passionate about keeping as much of our process as possible right here in the British Isles.
That means that everything from our riser recliners to the components that make our seating and mobility solutions the go-to choice, are made in Britain.

For the highest quality, maximum comfort and a solution built for each user’s needs - every time.
Introducing our Chair Selector Tool
At Channel Healthcare, we understand that choosing the right chair is a hugely personal decision. But we also understand that it can be an overwhelming decision too.
That’s why we developed our innovative Chair Selector Tool. Designed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists, our Chair Selector Tool eases the feeling of overwhelm by helping to narrow down our extensive range of products, matching you with the products that can best support you or your loved one.
A riser recliner is an electrically powered armchair that gently tilts forward to help the user to stand and reclines back so they can relax in total comfort. With smooth, easy-to-use controls, it supports the user in moving from sitting to standing with far less effort, ideal if mobility or balance is a challenge.
A dual motor riser recliner has two separate motors — one to control the backrest and one for the footrest. This allows more flexible, independent positioning than a single motor chair, letting you find the exact position that works for you.
A riser recliner reduces the strain involved in standing, improves comfort during extended periods of sitting, helps manage circulation, and can ease symptoms associated with a wide range of health conditions including arthritis, COPD, Parkinson’s disease, back pain and many more.
Many older adults find riser recliners transformative for their independence, comfort and daily wellbeing. We always recommend trying a chair first during a free home visit to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
Tilt-in-Space allows the entire seat and back to tilt as one unit, redistributing pressure and supporting the body without changing the seated angle. It is particularly beneficial for users with postural needs, pressure sore risk or complex clinical requirements.
Yes. Every Channel Healthcare chair is hand-built in the UK using market-leading British engineered steel components. From the frame to the fabric and every innovative feature, our chairs are crafted by skilled British craftspeople.

You can also arrange a free home visit with one of our specialist seating consultants, who will guide you through the options best suited to your individual needs.
Standard models are typically delivered within 5–6 weeks. Bespoke chairs built to your exact specification may take a little longer. Your consultant will give you a clear timescale when you order.
