Description
The Recliners Symphony Riser Recliner combines excellent pressure management, postural support and long-term comfort within a stylish design that looks at home in both domestic and healthcare environments. With multiple mechanism options, adjustable seating solutions and a wide choice of back cushions, the Symphony can be tailored to suit a wide range of users and conditions.
Designed and manufactured in Great Britain, the Symphony is particularly popular with users who require more than a standard riser recliner while still wanting a chair that blends naturally into their living space.
Recliners Symphony Riser Recliner Size Chart

The exception is the Petite size, which has a lift capacity of 17 stone (110kg) on the Single Tilt in Space mechanism and 15 stone (95kg) on the Petite Dual Tilt in Space mechanism.

Mechanism Options
The Symphony is available with a choice of Single Tilt in Space, Dual Standard and Dual Tilt in Space mechanisms. Each offers different positioning benefits depending on the user’s needs.
The Single Tilt in Space and Dual Tilt in Space mechanisms help redistribute pressure by maintaining body positioning while reclining. The Dual Tilt in Space option also allows independent backrest adjustment, providing a wider range of seating positions. The Dual Standard mechanism keeps the seat base fixed while the backrest and legrest move independently.
If you’d like to understand the differences between these mechanisms in more detail, see our riser recliner mechanism guide.
Pressure Care & Postural Support
The Symphony has been designed to accommodate a wide range of pressure care and postural support requirements. Medium-risk pressure care comes as standard, while the seating system can accommodate high-risk gel and air cushion solutions when required.
Good seating starts with pelvic stability, which is why the Symphony has been designed around flexible seating options that can be adapted to changing needs. This makes it suitable for users who require enhanced pressure management without compromising comfort.
Multiple Back Options
Comfort is highly personal, which is why the Symphony is available with a range of back cushion options. Rear zipped access allows fibre adjustment, helping to fine-tune support and comfort for individual users.
These back options can be particularly beneficial for users with postural conditions or those who require additional trunk support throughout the day.
Removable Seat Wrap & Cushion Options
The combination of a removable seat wrap and removable seat insert allows the Symphony to accommodate a variety of pressure-relieving cushions. Air and gel solutions can be fitted when required, while the removable components also provide easier access for cleaning and maintenance.
This flexibility helps ensure the chair can continue to meet a user’s needs as circumstances change over time.
Bespoke Options Available
Although the Symphony is available in five standard sizes, it can also be tailored to individual requirements. Alternative dimensions, upholstery options and seating configurations are available for users who require something more bespoke.
