Ask a question about equipment Thread: Riser Recliner Chairs Join Date Feb 2012 I am going to have to purchase a Riser Recliner Chair and wonder if anyone has purchased from "HSL the chair specialists" who advertise widely in magazines and papers. If so can they please share with me their experiences with this firm. Join Date Sep 2011 I went to a private shop, the old type where they gave very personal service. Did not rush me, let me try things out. Let me choose what I wanted. I did not get such a chair in the end as the cost & my ability to use it was limited. I ahve heard good things about HSL but there nearest one was too far for me to get to. Nearest one is too far for me as well. They have sent me their brochure and their chairs are half the price of chairs by another firm advertising in papers and magazines. Maybe Google it, such things as HSL user experience, HSL chair review, etc. You may find someone that way. Sorry but I keep getting this wrong.
I am new here and I have made a few mistakes. but i did not make a mistake when i bought my Riser Recliners 5 years ago from HSL, they ar brillinat chairs and still look like they did when they were first delivered, they are used everyday and I would not go anywhere else, the staff are very helpful and the prices are good as the furniture is top quality, but don't just take my word for it, get yourself along and you won't be dissapointed. Join Date Jun 2012 I have recently purchased my riser recliner chair from this shop and I am very satisfied with it. All the chairs they sell are said to be british made as well. If you are unsure of anything just call them, they have very helpful and informed staff working for them. I hope it helps Join Date Nov 2012 I know this is an old post but I have just signed up to the forum as I am looking for a riser recliner chair for my Dad. They are a lot of money so I want to make sure we get good value for money. Has anyone got any recommendations.
I have had a look at HSL. I found a riser recliner chair youtube video that I liked the look of. Please let me know if anyone has any advise.

Q. I have pets - how can I make sure they are safe near the chair when it is in a raised position?A. All Age UK Riser Recliner Chairs come as standard with a unique safety feature - solid barriers that are revealed when the chair is raised. This means that there are no gaps anywhere round the chair, so that your pet can not get trapped underneath.Q. What do I do if my Riser Recliner stops working?A. In the highly unlikely event of this happening, we will send out our own engineer. If the problem can't be rectified in your home and we have to take the chair away to repair it, then a loan chair can be left until its return.Q. How do I know my chair will stand the test of time?A. All chairs are covered by a manufacturer's 24-months warranty. All chairs have undergone rigorous testing for strength and stability so will give years of continuous useQ. Am I entitled to local authority funding or an assessment?A. † It's worth noting that if you need a Riser Recliner in order to maintain your independence (you can't manage without one), or to help with a medical condition, your local council or health service may be able to fund one for you.
However, different councils have different rules about what they will pay for, and different ways of supplying it. Some may want you to try other solutions before they agree to provide the chair. Others won't provide a Riser Recliner at all, but will provide specialist seating for people who have particular support needs.If you are already seeing someone from your council or health service, and you think you need a Riser Recliner, ask about an assessment. If you think you should be assessed, call your council, or see your doctor for advice.If you’re not entitled to any help or would prefer to purchase your own chair then our specially trained advisers are here to help.
