My daughter has been using this sort of chair for years, she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and is quite disabled now. She says definitely get a dual motor chair, as with these the back of the chair, and the footrest, can operate independently of each other, which is much better. She has had both fabric and leather, but prefers fabric, but that of course is a matter of personal preference. If your father isn`t very mobile, couldn`t you take him to the shops in a wheelchair, to make sure he gets what really suits him?
Good luck!

My father is approaching 90 and has various health issues. He has been told by the community nurse who visits to dress a wound on his leg, that he should really get a recliner chair. As he has difficulty standing it would have to be an electric riser-recliner.
As he has no funds himself, we, probably along with other family members, will need to buy this for him, so I have started looking.
Does anyone have any advice? I have seen reference to single motor and dual motor - what is the difference? He lives 150 miles away from us and is really not very mobile, so it would be difficult to take him out to try different models, but I am reticent to buy without him trying.
I thought someone on here may be able to advise?
