Primacare Chairs & Riser Recliners

Primacare Chairs for Supportive Seating at Home

Primacare produces supportive chairs and riser recliners designed around comfort, posture and easier everyday use. The current range available through Modern Mobility includes fixed high-back chairs as well as powered rise-and-recline models.

The right Primacare chair depends on whether the user needs a supportive upright seat or powered assistance when standing and changing position.

The Primacare range may include:

• Supportive high-back chairs
• Fixed armchairs for upright everyday seating
• Single or dual-motor riser recliners, depending on the model
• Chairs with different backrest and upholstery options
• Seating designed for comfort during regular home use

Primacare High-Back Chairs

Primacare high-back chairs provide fixed seating with supportive backs, armrests and a generally more upright position than many standard lounge chairs.

Models such as the Narberth, Warwick, Arundel and Pembroke may suit users who want a comfortable, supportive armchair but do not require powered reclining or standing assistance.

A high-back chair may be suitable if the user:

• Prefers an upright seating position
• Needs more back and shoulder support
• Finds low or soft lounge chairs difficult to use
• Can still stand independently from a suitable seat height
• Does not need powered reclining or leg elevation

Although supportive arms and a suitable seat height may make standing more manageable, a fixed high-back chair does not lift the user to their feet.

Primacare Riser Recliner Chairs

Primacare riser recliners use powered movement to help the user change position. Depending on the model and motor configuration, the chair may raise the user towards standing, recline the backrest and elevate the leg section.

The current range includes the Primacare Brecon and Aberdare riser recliners, subject to availability.

A riser recliner may be more suitable if the user:

• Struggles to stand from a fixed armchair
• Needs powered assistance when sitting or rising
• Wants to raise their legs while resting
• Benefits from changing position during the day
• Spends longer periods seated at home

High-Back Chair or Riser Recliner?

A high-back chair and riser recliner can appear similar, but they provide different levels of support.

• Choose a fixed high-back chair for supportive upright seating without powered movement
• Choose a riser recliner where powered standing assistance, reclining or leg elevation is required
• Consider specialist seating where posture, pressure management or complex support needs are involved

If the user can stand independently but finds normal lounge furniture too low or unsupportive, a high-back chair may be enough. If they need physical assistance from the chair itself, a riser recliner is normally the more appropriate direction.

Choosing the Correct Primacare Chair Size

Chair fit affects both comfort and how easy the chair feels to use. A chair that is too deep may prevent the user from sitting against the backrest, while a seat that is too high may leave the feet unsupported.

Before choosing, check:

• Seat height from the floor
• Seat width and available space around the user
• Seat depth
• Backrest height and shape
• Armrest height
• Maximum user weight
• Overall dimensions and room space

For a riser recliner, also check how much clearance is required behind and in front of the chair when it moves.

Single and Dual-Motor Riser Recliners

Primacare riser recliners may be available with different motor systems depending on the model and specification.

• Single-motor chairs usually move the backrest and legrest in a linked sequence
• Dual-motor chairs generally allow the backrest and legrest to be adjusted more independently

Independent adjustment can provide more positioning flexibility, but the best option depends on the user’s comfort, control needs and preferred resting positions.

Upholstery, Back Style and Everyday Comfort

Primacare chairs may be available with different fabrics, colours and backrest styles. The back shape can affect how the chair supports the shoulders, spine and sides of the body.

When comparing models, consider:

• Fabric feel and ease of cleaning
• Backrest cushioning and support
• Whether the seat feels firm or soft
• Room décor and colour preference
• Whether the chair will be used occasionally or throughout the day

Try a Primacare Chair Before Buying

Chair fit and comfort are personal, particularly where the user has reduced mobility or will spend long periods seated.

The Primacare Brecon and Aberdare riser recliners are currently identified as showroom products, making it worth checking whether a suitable model can be viewed or tried before ordering.

Contact Modern Mobility before visiting to confirm showroom availability, chair specifications and whether the model you want to compare is currently on display.
