A good armchair is one of life's little luxuries, and while all our chairs are made with comfort in mind, we know that everybody has a different opinion of what makes the perfect armchair.
We all have a favourite chair, somewhere we can sit and feel both physically and mentally relaxed, whether it is to chat with family, to read a book or perhaps to settle in front of the TV and let our eyes drift closed for a few minutes. However, if you have limited mobility, the act of settling into or getting up from your seat can be a real challenge.

Riser recliners combine the latest in design with innovative technology to give you maximum comfort, and from the basic single motor riser recliner, to the multi-motor models with indivi...

One of the most challenging aspects of caring for the elderly is helping people to be comfortable all day long.

Luckily, you can get up and have a good stretch to get your body aligned properly again.
