Choosing the right riser recliner is about balancing comfort, practicality, and style. The Joyce Riser Recliner is one of our most popular motorised options for the home, available to buy directly on BetterLiving.ie or you can see the chairs in person at one of our two showrooms, either in Artane, Dublin 5 or at our HQ in Portlaosie, Co Laois.
But should you choose the soft fabric or the wipe-clean faux leather?
Here is a head-to-head breakdown to help you make the right purchase for your living room.
1. Feel & Comfort
Fabric: Offers a warm, inviting, and highly breathable finish. It feels cosy in winter and won't get sticky during warmer months. Available in Grey, Blue, Oatmeal, and Teal.
Faux Leather: Delivers the premium, supple touch of genuine leather. It offers a sleek, modern aesthetic that looks incredibly sophisticated in any room.
2. Cleaning & Maintenance
Fabric: Requires standard upholstery care. While highly durable, spills need to be blotted quickly to prevent staining.
Faux Leather: The ultimate choice for easy-clean durability. It is highly spill-resistant, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep it looking pristine.
3. Sizes & Fit
Fabric: Comes in a single, universally comfortable Standard size.
Faux Leather: Available in three specialised sizes (Petite, Standard, and Large). This makes it ideal if you need a tailored seat height and depth.
4. Price Comparison
Fabric: Priced at €699, making it an exceptional value entry into dual-motor comfort.
Faux Leather: Starting from €859, reflecting the premium upholstery and expanded sizing options.
Standard Courier Delivery (Free)
Because the Joyce Riser Recliner is priced over €100, standard shipping is entirely free.
Speed: If the chair is in stock, it qualifies for free delivery - normally within two to three working days.
Setup: The chair arrives in boxes and is delivered unassembled to your door. This is ideal if you have family members or friends available to help bring the chair inside and put it together.
Engineered Delivery & Assembly (€130)
If you or your loved one would prefer a hands-free, fully managed setup, you can select the Engineered Delivery service.
Complete Setup: A specialised team will deliver the riser recliner directly into your room of choice and fully assemble it for you.
Demonstration: Once built, the installers will provide a thorough, in-person demonstration of the handset, the dual-motor functions, and the safe use of the power-lift mechanism.
Peace of Mind: This ensures the chair is fully functional and the user is completely comfortable operating it before the delivery team leaves.
