What Chair Accessories Can Help with Comfort?

by | Oct 20, 2025

We’ve talked in previous articles about the features of a riser recliner, the different types of cushions, and even the choice of fabrics that are available. You might be forgiven for thinking that all those things combined provide you with all the choice and features you could want from a chair… well, think again! There are plenty of other options which are designed to make your chair even more user-friendly and unique to you.

In addition to all the features we’ve previously looked at, our range of accessories will complement your riser recliner and provide further benefits adding to its comfort, enhancing its functionality and longevity, and improving its aesthetic appearance, too.

Comfort Enhancing Accessories

Your riser recliner, which will have been measured, fitted and specified exactly to meet your needs, should already be incredibly comfortable, offering you support in all the areas you need it and the right features to enhance your independence and promote health and wellbeing. However, there are further additions that, if required, could improve the comfort of your chair even more:

Heat and Massage
Our easy-to-use built-in heat and massage system can really take your chair’s comfort and luxury to the next level! Sit back, relax and let your chair massage away those aches and pains. With 5 individual zones – upper back, lower back, upper thigh, lower thigh and calf area – you can enjoy targeted massage exactly where you need it, combined with gentle heat to help ease away muscle tightness and discomfort.

Head Pillow
An additional removeable head pillow can be added to your chair to provide further support for your head and neck if required, to create a comfortable, supported sitting position.

Head Roll
For even more targeted support, a ‘head roll’ specifically offers support for the neck, offering safety and comfort for those with more limited strength and mobility in this area.

Practical Accessories

While comfort is paramount, there is more to your chair, and our range of practical accessories can enhance its functionality and improve your day-to-day life.

Reading Lamp When the light starts to fade in an evening, or when you just need a bit more brightness to help you to focus on your book, newspaper or magazine, a built-in reading lamp on your chair is just the ticket! There’s no need to get up and switch on the main light when, at the touch of a button, your chair’s lamp can provide exactly the right level of illumination.

USB Port Phone or tablet running low on power? Again, there’s no need to get up! Simply plug your device into the built-in USB port on your chair, and you’ll be fully charged again in no time!

Accupak/Battery Back-up
A battery back-up provides ultimate peace of mind so that, in the event of a power cut, your riser recliner will still operate. With the reassurance of a permanent back up, there’s no risk of ever being stuck in one position if there’s a power outage.

Head, Seat and Arm Covers
To protect your chair from wear and tear, accidental damage or spills, additional removable, matching covers can be purchased to help keep your chair looking in tip-top condition for longer!

Safety Accessories

Of course, the safety of your riser recliner is a top consideration so, to make it even safer for you and those around you, there are some additional accessories that you may like to think about:

Lap Strap and Pad
With an adjustable strap for comfort and a quick release clip, the lap strap and pad can provide additional support to prevent slipping, slumping or the risk of sliding out of your chair. This comfortable safety accessory is ideal for those with limited back or trunk strength, offering security and peace of mind. Please note these are not available on chairs that rise.

Entrapment Skirt
This feature isn’t for the safety of the user – this one’s for your furry friends! This clever addition means that pets, such as cats or small dogs, can’t creep under the chair while it’s raised, therefore removing the risk of them becoming trapped underneath when it’s returned to an upright position.
