Can you buy a portable riser recliner chair?

If you’re searching for a portable riser recliner chair, you’re probably looking for something you can move around easily, possibly from room to room in a care home or private dwelling.

If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place! Because you can absolutely buy a portable riser recliner chair. In this article, we’ll explain what they are, how they work and what your options are.

What is a portable riser recliner chair?

First, let’s look at a standard rise & recline chair. This typically come with four small castors on the base, which allows you to shift them within your lounge, for example, if you want to hoover underneath. They’re not designed, however, to be regularly moved around your home while someone is seated in the chair.

That’s where a truly portable rise & recliner chair comes in. They’re built on a different base with four large castors and they are designed to be wheeled around your living space while occupied. The Ashore Porter does just this.

How does a portable riser recliner chair work?

As well as having large castors, a portable riser recliner chair has a large push handle on the back to enable easier manoeuvring. The rest of the chair works in much the same way as a standard riser recliner. You have a handset control to operate the lift and recline functions (this can be mounted on the back for carer control, if needed).

If you move the portable chair between rooms, you’ll need one of two power options. If you’ve got another power socket in the second room you can plug into, that’s great. Alternatively, you can add an Accupak wireless system to your chair. This is a rechargeable battery system, which means you can wheel your riser recliner chair into another room and have portable power to operate its functions!
