What are rise and recliner chairs?

Powered single armchairs with two main functions: the rise function gently tilts the chair forward to bring you to a near-standing position, so getting in and out is easier, and the recline function eases the backrest back and raises a footrest for relaxing. At Furniture Instore they include the Kingsbury, Bilbury and Hunson models, in fabric and genuine leather.

How does a rise and recline chair work?

The chairs are powered, so both the rise and the recline are operated by a simple handset — no levers to pull. Press one way and the chair reclines and raises the footrest; press the other and it tilts forward to help bring you to your feet. You can stop at any point to find the position that suits you.

Are the chairs electric, and do they need a socket?

Yes. The rise and recline functions run on a motor, so each chair needs to sit within reach of a mains socket and simply plugs in on delivery. It's operated by a handset. For the exact motor and handset details of a particular model, check its product page.

Which models are available?

The range currently includes three single-seat models — the Kingsbury, the Bilbury and the Hunson. They share the same powered rise-and-recline functions and differ in their styling, material and detailing. The full specification for each, including size and features, is shown on its own product page.

What material are they — fabric or genuine leather?

Both, and we keep them distinct so you always know what you're buying. Some models are a warm, hard-wearing fabric, kept distinct from velvet, suede and leather; others are natural genuine leather, a breathable hide that ages to a soft patina. The material of each chair is stated on its product page.

What is the difference between fabric and genuine leather?

Fabric is warm and soft to sit on, cosy and cleaned by vacuuming and spot-cleaning. Genuine leather is a natural, breathable hide that's hard-wearing, wipes clean easily and develops a patina over the years, at a higher price. Which suits you comes down to the look you prefer, your budget and how you like to clean.

How do I choose the right chair and fit?

A good fit matters with a single-seat chair, so check the dimensions on each product page — particularly the seat height, seat width and seat depth — against the person who'll use it most, so it feels comfortable and easy to get in and out of. Our showroom team are happy to help, and you're welcome to try the chairs in person.

How much space does the chair need?

Leave room in front for the footrest when reclined and a little space behind for the backrest, and keep the area in front clear as the chair tilts forward on the rise function. As it's powered, position it within reach of a mains socket. Each product page lists the dimensions, including the space needed when fully reclined.

How do I care for the chair?

It depends on the material. For a fabric chair, vacuum regularly and blot spills promptly. For a genuine leather chair, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and condition occasionally. For both, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive sponges, keep the chair out of prolonged direct sunlight, and keep the mechanism and handset clear of crumbs and spills.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 14-day change of mind returns window from the day your chair is delivered, on items returned in their original condition. To arrange a return, contact our team within those 14 days and we'll talk you through the next steps. This is in addition to your statutory rights, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described.

What happens if my chair arrives damaged?

If your chair arrives with any damage, contact our team as soon as possible — ideally within 48 hours — with a few photographs, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement or collection. It helps to check the chair over on delivery before the team leaves where you can, and to test the powered rise and recline.

Do I need to assemble the chair myself?

There's very little to do. Our two-person team brings the chair into your room and sets it in place, so it's ready to use, and it simply plugs into a mains socket. Any simple steps, such as fitting a backrest, are handled on delivery where needed, with no tools required from you.

What guarantee comes with these chairs?

Every chair is inspected before it leaves us, and your purchase is protected by your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which cover goods that are faulty or not as described. You also have our 14-day change of mind returns. For confirmation of any specific manufacturer guarantee on a particular model, including on the motor, please check the product page or ask our team before you order.
