Understanding The Available Mechanisms
The Repose Henley Riser Recliner Chair is available with a range of mechanisms to suit different mobility requirements and living environments.
Our riser recliner mechanism guide explains how each mechanism works and can help you decide which option is most suitable.
Single Tilt in Space
Tilts the whole chair backwards while maintaining the seat-to-back angle, helping improve pressure distribution and comfort.
Dual Tilt in Space
Provides additional positioning options through independent movement, making it easier to find a comfortable seating position.
Wallhugger
Ideal where space behind the chair is limited, as the chair moves forward as it reclines.
Dual Motor
Allows independent adjustment of the backrest and leg rest for greater flexibility and personalised comfort.
Traditional Wooden Knuckle Arms
The feature that sets the Repose Henley Riser Recliner Chair apart is its elegant wooden knuckle arm design.
These wooden hand grips provide a firmer and more secure place to hold when sitting down or standing up.
