Default Adjustamatic Riser Recliner Chairs

Just been to southport flower show where I tried the adjustamatic recliner. Having a medical condition they would have let me have it vat free. The cost of the chair was £4100 without VAT and the guy was willing to give me 15% off but I would have still been paying over £60 per month for 5 years. How ever the chair was extremely comfortable but I would hv needed a mortgage to buy one.

Default Adjustamatic Riser Recliner Chairs

For £4100 I would expect it to not only rise and recline but drive me from room to room, massage me and make my meals! £700 seems about right. When we bought one for my mother the girl at sales mixed up her info about a buy one get one half price offer, so we were led to believe the price was £700. When the salesman called he said that we were misinformed and it was £1400, however once he realised the sale was going to fall through and his journey was wasted a quick phone call to his " manager" secured us the £700 deal and I have no doubt a handsome profit was made on it still. Profit margins on these type of products are obscene at the best of times, but £4100 is "havin a larf"

That sounds a hell of a lot for a riser-recliner. We bought one for my
mother a few years ago for £1500 and I thought that was a bit pricey.
Can't remember the make, but the local firm that supplied it,
HSC-Mobility, has riser-recliners starting at ~£600 or ~£750 depending
on model. If you Google for riser recliner chairs you get lots of
firms who supply them, so you can research their prices.


I occidentally bought a recliner riser a few years ago, I just wanted a
recliner but it came with a riser/recliner mechanism.
I never use the riser except to play with but it only cost £300 for the
chair so where they get these stupid prices from I have no idea.
There are just two motors instead of one and it came with a standby
rechargeable battery pack with enough charge to lift the chair once.

It wasn't from a mobility specialist but a furniture shop that was in
Merry Hill.


This is the well-known "special price" for disability products.

I'd check with local charities etc. Once no longer needed, such things
have near zero value. Unless you really must have brand new.
