A riser recliner is more than just a piece of furniture; it's a vital investment in your comfort, safety, and independence. To ensure you choose the perfect chair that will serve you well for years, it’s crucial to ask the right questions. Before you buy, go through this essential checklist.
1. What are the correct measurements for me? A chair that doesn't fit is a chair you won't use. Ask for the specific seat height, width, and depth to ensure your feet are flat on the floor and you have proper back support.
2. Is it a single or dual motor? A single motor moves the backrest and footrest together in a set motion. A dual motor allows you to control them independently for infinite positioning and superior comfort.
3. What is the maximum user weight capacity? For safety and durability, always confirm that the chair’s mechanism can comfortably support the user's weight.
4. How much space will it need when fully reclined? Riser recliners need clearance behind and in front. Make sure you have enough space in your room for it to operate fully without hitting walls or other furniture.
5. What are my fabric choices? Consider durability, ease of cleaning, and comfort. From robust leather and vinyl to soft, warm fabrics, choose one that suits your lifestyle.
6. What does the warranty cover? Clarify the warranty details for the frame, motor, and electronics. Good after-sales support is essential.
7. Does the chair have a battery backup system? This is a vital safety question. In the event of a power cut, a battery backup system ensures the lift mechanism will still function, allowing the user to get out of the chair safely. A chair without this feature could leave a vulnerable person stranded until the power returns. Always confirm if this is included.
8. Can I try it first? The best way to know if a chair is right is to sit in it. Visiting a showroom in Dublin or asking about in-home demonstrations is invaluable.
9. Can I claim VAT relief on this chair? In Ireland, you may be eligible for VAT relief on a riser recliner if it's for personal use.
