Single Motor Riser Recliners
Single motor riser recliners are very simple to operate as they only have 2 buttons on the handset - whereas dual motor chairs have 4. Dual motor chairs have the advantage of being able to independently operate the different functions of the chair but have more buttons on the handset. Single Motor models are also typically cheaper than dual motor models as they have less components. If in doubt, please get in touch and speak to one of our product experts or arrange a visit to our County Antrim showroom to find the right chair for your needs.
Single Motor Riser Recliner Chairs for Comfortable & Independent Living
A single motor riser recliner chair is an excellent choice for individuals who require assistance when sitting down or standing up, while still wanting a comfortable and stylish chair for relaxing at home. At John Preston, we offer a wide range of single motor riser recliners designed to provide reliable lifting assistance, supportive seating and easy operation for people with reduced mobility, arthritis, limited strength or balance difficulties.
Combining the comfort of a traditional armchair with the benefits of an electrically powered lifting mechanism, single motor riser recliners gently raise the user into a safer standing position and provide a comfortable reclining position for relaxation. With simple handset controls and smooth operation, they are an ideal mobility aid for everyday use in the home.
How Do Single Motor Riser Recliners Work?
Single motor riser recliners use one powerful motor to operate the chair's lifting and reclining functions. At the touch of a button, the chair raises and tilts forward to assist the user when standing, helping to reduce strain on joints and muscles. The chair can then recline to provide a comfortable resting position.
The simple two-button handset design makes single motor riser recliners particularly easy to operate, making them a popular choice for users who prefer straightforward controls without unnecessary complexity.

Single Motor vs Dual Motor Riser Recliners
The main difference between single motor and dual motor riser recliners is how the chair's movements are controlled.
A single motor riser recliner operates the backrest and footrest together, providing a simple and easy-to-use reclining action. A dual motor riser recliner allows independent adjustment of the backrest and footrest, giving greater control over the seating position.
Single motor models are often preferred by users who value simplicity, reliability and ease of use, while dual motor chairs may be better suited for those who require more personalised positioning.
