Try before you buy
Choosing a rise and recline chair is much easier when you can try it in person. Everyone sits differently, so the correct size, seat height, back support and motor function can make a big difference to your comfort. Visit our showroom and our experienced team will guide you through the options available, including single motor and dual motor chairs, different sizes, fabrics, leathers and support levels. We have a great choice of chairs available to order, along with selected models in stock for quicker delivery.
Comfortable chairs with practical support
A riser recliner chair is a motorised armchair that gently helps you move from a seated position to standing at the touch of a button. Many models also recline smoothly, allowing you to put your feet up and relax. These chairs are ideal for customers who want more support for the back, neck, legs and joints, while still enjoying a stylish piece of furniture that looks at home in the living room.
At Cumbria Oak, we believe comfort should never mean compromising on style. Choose from a wide range of fabric and leather finishes, with options to suit both traditional and modern homes. We also stock matching sofas and recliner chairs, making it easier to create a complete living room look. You may also like our Reclining Chairs and Sofas & Armchairs ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rise and Recline Chairs
What is a rise and recline chair?
A rise and recline chair is an electrically powered armchair designed to make sitting down, relaxing and standing up easier. At the touch of a button, the chair can gently recline backwards and raise the footrest. It can also lift and tilt forwards to help the user move safely from a seated to a standing position. Rise and recline chairs are ideal for anyone looking for additional comfort, support or help with reduced mobility.
What is the difference between a single and dual-motor chair?
A single-motor chair operates the backrest and footrest in one coordinated movement. The footrest normally rises first, followed by the reclining backrest. This makes single-motor chairs straightforward and easy to operate.
A dual-motor chair allows the backrest and footrest to be adjusted independently. This provides greater control over your seating position, allowing you to sit more upright with your feet raised or recline further when relaxing. Both types of chair include the lifting action that helps the user stand up.
How do I know which chair size I need?
The correct chair size depends on your height, build, weight and preferred sitting position. Important considerations include the seat height, width and depth, as well as the height and shape of the backrest.
The best way to find the correct size is to try several chairs in person. Our team can help you compare different sizes, support levels and motor options so that you can find a chair that feels comfortable and supportive.
Can I try the chairs before buying?
Yes. We strongly recommend trying a rise and recline chair before making your decision. Visit our Plumpton showroom near Penrith, where you can try different chair sizes, fabrics, support levels and motor options. Our experienced team will give you time to test the chairs and help you find the most comfortable option for your needs.
Do you have rise and recline chairs available immediately?
Yes. We have a selection of rise and recline chairs in stock and available for quicker or immediate delivery. We also offer a wider choice of made-to-order chairs in different sizes, colours, fabrics and specifications.
Stock changes regularly, so please call us on 01768 894528 to check which chairs are currently available.
Do you deliver and install the chair?
Yes. Our rise and recline chairs can be delivered and installed by our professional delivery team. We offer premium delivery and installation, so your chair will be brought into your home and placed in the required room rather than being left at the door.
Are matching sofas available?
Yes. Matching sofas, fixed armchairs and standard recliner chairs are available with selected rise and recline collections. This means you can benefit from the additional support of a rise and recline chair while maintaining a coordinated look throughout your living room.
The matching furniture available will depend on the collection, so please speak to our team about the options for your preferred chair.
Do you deliver to Carlisle, Penrith, Kendal and West Cumbria?
Yes. We regularly deliver rise and recline chairs throughout Cumbria, including Penrith, Carlisle, Kendal, Keswick, Workington, Whitehaven, Cockermouth, Barrow and surrounding towns and villages.
We can also deliver to South West Scotland, North Lancashire and other areas further afield. Contact us with your postcode and we will confirm delivery availability.
Can rise and recline chairs qualify for VAT relief?
Some rise and recline chairs can be supplied without VAT when both the product and the customer meet HMRC’s eligibility conditions.
The chair must have a lifting facility designed to help the user move between a seated and standing position. The customer must generally be disabled or have a qualifying long-term illness, and the chair must be purchased for their own personal or domestic use. Being elderly by itself does not automatically qualify someone for VAT relief.
Eligibility conditions apply, so please speak to our team before purchasing. We can explain whether the chair may qualify and what information or declaration may be required.
