What riser recliner chairs does Comfort Workshop offer?

Comfort Workshop makes traditional and contemporary riser recliners, alongside specialist seating for people with additional care needs. Its collections include:

• Clumber: a traditional scroll-arm design with a choice of back styles.
• Welbeck: a contemporary design with clean lines and understated styling.
• Contour: a modern riser recliner with a distinctive ergonomic arm grip, designed to provide a comfortable handhold when sitting down or standing up.
• Homecare: adaptable seating with removable and replaceable cushions, clinical fabric options and pressure-relief seat options.

Depending on the model, customers can choose different sizes, back cushions, fabrics and mechanisms, including dual-motor and tilt-in-space options. The consultation helps establish which combination feels comfortable and suits the person using the chair.

How does Comfort Workshop help you choose the right fit?

Comfort Workshop takes individual measurements and helps match the chair’s size and support to your height, build and seating needs.

A fitting gives you the opportunity to compare how different chairs feel, check the position of the seat and back cushions, and try the reclining and rising controls. You can also discuss what you find uncomfortable about your existing chair and which features matter most to you.

Available sizes and adjustments vary by model, so the team will explain the options for your chosen chair.

Can I try a riser recliner at home before buying?

Yes. Comfort Workshop offers free, no-obligation home demonstrations, bringing a selection of chairs to your home so you can try them in familiar surroundings.

Visits typically last 60–90 minutes and include:

• A discussion about your comfort preferences and seating needs.
• The opportunity to try chairs and their controls.
• Measurements and guidance on suitable sizing.
• Fabric samples to compare with your room.
• Time for questions, with family and friends welcome.

There is no pressure to decide during the visit, and Comfort Workshop’s team does not work on commission.

Are Comfort Workshop chairs made in Britain?

Yes. Comfort Workshop designs and manufactures its chairs in Nottinghamshire. Its published manufacturing information identifies British suppliers, including foam and fabric suppliers in Leeds and mechanisms sourced from Swansea.

How much does a Comfort Workshop riser recliner cost?

Comfort Workshop provides an individual written quote based on the chair and options you choose. Factors include the model, size, fabric, mechanism and any additional support or accessories.

A home demonstration or showroom appointment helps you establish which options you need before receiving a quote. You can then review the specification and price in your own time, with no obligation to order.

What guarantee comes with the chairs?

Comfort Workshop offers a 25-year frame guarantee and a five-year mechanism and handset guarantee.

The two periods apply to different components; the 25-year guarantee does not cover every part of the chair. Full coverage, exclusions and conditions are set out in the written guarantee terms.

What does Comfort Workshop mean by “OT Approved”?

Comfort Workshop states that its furniture has been assessed and approved by independent occupational therapy specialists.

Individual fitting remains an important part of choosing a chair. If you already have recommendations from an occupational therapist, discuss them with the team when arranging your fitting.
