Where are riser recliner chairs manufactured and why does it matter?

Are you overwhelmed by the sheer number of riser recliner chairs available? Do you wonder if where the riser recliner is made really matters?

In this article, we explain where riser recliner chairs are typically manufactured, and why this matters.

Where are riser recliner chairs manufactured?

Some riser recliner chairs are made in the UK, whereas others are made in countries such as China.

Where the chair is made can affect the price, quality and availability of the chair, so we always recommend finding this out before purchasing. 

Buying riser recliner chairs made outside of the UK

Chairs made outside of the UK, particularly those made in China, will be cheaper than British-made chairs. This is a benefit, especially for those on a limited budget. 

The downside of purchasing riser recliner chairs made in countries such as China is that the quality is likely to be lower than more expensive options. They may also have longer lead times, depending on whether the chair is stocked in the UK or is imported at the time of sale.

Benefits of British-made riser recliner chairs

1. Product Quality

To be totally upfront with you, not all imported rise and recline chairs are of poor quality. And likewise, not all British-made riser recliner chairs are high quality! However, the UK does have a proud record in furniture manufacture and textiles, as well as well-developed quality standards. This means you really can’t beat Made in Britain riser recliner chairs when it comes to products that stand the test of time.

2. Made to measure products on short lead times

One of the beauties of the British rise & recline chair industry is the ability to have a made to measure chair manufactured just for you within a few short weeks. It may be a bit more money than an off-the-shelf and/or imported model, although not necessarily!

3. Service quality and availability of spare parts

A top concern of our customers is good aftercare, and rightly so. And from our experience, we can tell you that working with British suppliers and manufacturers makes fixing any problems down the line much, much easier!

4. Reduced carbon footprint

We don’t need to explain that a British-made riser recliner chair has less distance to travel to get to your home! The UK’s drive towards carbon reduction also means that most manufacturers in this country are taking active steps to minimise the environmental impact of their manufacturing process.
