Where to buy an electric riser chair

The recliner chair is not a new concept. The first recliner chairs were in the 1780s in the form of a easy chair/daybed combination. Even Napoleon had a steel version that he took on campaign. The ability to recline and send upright the chair through the means of an electric motor seemed a logical progression, and it has brought mobility and comfort to many.

Furniture store

Furniture stores can be a source for electric riser chairs. Well-known brands such as La-Z-Boy have more than one version of the electric riser chair as well as sectional sofas as well. These chairs and sofas look just like other recliners and sofas, with the exception that the reclining motion is done due to a control attached to the chair.

Medical supply store

Medical supply stores also carry mobility or lifting chairs. These chairs, like the
La-Z-Boy electric lift recliner, look indistinguishable from other recliners. The main difference is the way by which the chair can come forward from the regular sitting position to one where the seat gently propels the sitter forward until he or she is able to stand upright. The chairs come in a variety of styles and upholstery choices, making it easier to the owner to match it with the décor already existing in the room. You may even be able to request custom upholstery if the couses offered aren't to your liking.

Auctions and sales

You may be able to find lift chairs at auctions or sales. These chairs will most likely be used, but are often still in good condition. Before you buy one of these chairs, you should inspect the chair to test its motor and the effectiveness by which the chair operates. If you are not handy, then the condition of the upholstery is a concern as well. If you are handy, then you could reupholster the chair or cover it with a decorative cover. If cared for, these chairs can serve you a long time, and may even be passed on to other users. Check to see if dealers in the area can be a resource in case the motor needs to be services or replaced.
