Why a fitted Rise and Recliner?

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 there are several benefits to having your chair ‘fitted’ to your size, body shape and weight. Why? Because we’re all different aren’t we? Different heights, different length of legs, weight!

How long do you spend seated?

There are serious health implications of prolonged sitting, and why this is a cause for concern for those who spend more than thirty hours sitting. If you have a condition, then there could be significant benefits to selecting the right rise and recline movements and chair style.

Are you sitting comfortably?

Sitting down causes a number of stresses in our bodies, especially our spines, this has recently begun to be more recognised by health professionals and is the main reason for the sudden boom of rise and recliner chairs. However, a fitted chair has been designed to best support your body, including considerations like posture, comfort, pressure care, support and health.
