Riser/recliner chairs

We are about to take delivery tomorrow of one for DH. As he is very tall and long legged we chose a made-to-measure one which is costing £2800, from Oak Tree Mobility who are local to us and you (Bristol based). It has the capacity to raise the legs higher than the hips, which will help the swollen ankles he occasionally suffers from, and I am hoping that the strain on my back caused by helping him to stand will be a thing of the past. I’ll let you know how we get on, but I suspect cheap is much more risky.

Yes, as part of a piece suite so did not cost me thousands. One part of the two seater sofa also raises its legs.

An aunt, now dead, bought one at great expense and luckily she was tiny in every form because the chair that came was really narrow. A "normal" person could not sit in it comfortably.

I bought mine in a local well respected furniture store. Please be careful and look around.
