Who should use a petite riser recliner?

If you guessed that a petite riser recliner chair is generally for those of a smaller build you would be generally right. But there is more to petite riser recliners, as many people choose them for their ability to fit into a smaller footprint.

Many customers are quite surprised to find that a petite riser recliner is available in the first place, as they expect a one-size-fits all approach that is common in regular chairs found in a home or hotel setting.

But riser recliner manufacturers, through their own careful research, found that there was a market for a smaller riser recliner, as people of a smaller build often found the larger models to be uncomfortable and too spacey for them.

Petite riser recliners are sometimes an appropriate choice for a younger person, who may have a disability or be recovering from surgery. 

Petite riser recliners are a great choice in these scenarios, as the smaller size gives a better range of support, as well as feeling more comfortable and supportive.

But are petite riser recliners the same in quality and function as their larger counterparts? The answer to this question is indisputably yes.

Certainly, in our experience, we have found that petite riser recliners are every bit as comfortable and function/ technology rich as fully sized models.

In fact, there doesn’t appear to be any compromise in build and features whatsoever. 

The elderly, in the later stages of their lives, often lose muscle mass and height, this is through the natural aging process of the body, which can mean someone who would have been a medium build through their forties and fifties, can reduce down to a more petite build when older.

This is not to say that they are not often perfectly fit and healthy, but their needs in terms of seating can be different. 

Petite riser recliners often provide the solution as they surround the contours of the smaller build perfectly. Comfortable and highly padded cushions and backrests further complement this. 

It means that the elderly, or those with a disability can find a riser recliner that is more suited to their individual needs. 

Are petite riser recliners just for people with smaller builds?

Petite riser recliners may also be suitable for people of what would be considered a medium build, but it always pays to do a little research into the actual dimensions of a petite riser recliner, just to make sure the fit is right for your expectations before purchase.

It’s a fact that many people, and professional organisations actually prefer petite riser recliners, the main reason being for the smaller footprint offered.

Sometimes a chair needs to be placed in an area that is quite tight, where larger riser recliner models may be a little too large to make the most of the available space.

This is where petite riser recliners can come into their own, as they can save those valuable inches in smaller rooms or spaces in professional care areas.

Petite riser recliners come in a variety of sizes, and with different motor configurations, some with a single motor, right up to quad motors that power all the functions of the chair. 

It’s always a good idea to compare models and individual features, not least to get a colour and design that fits into your own personal preferences and tastes.

Thereafter, you can enjoy choosing the exact functions and features that fit into your individual requirements.
