Recliner Chairs

Devon Reclining Chairs are for people….in Devon

Ever heard of mobility equipment that was specifically manufactured for people residing within one particular region? No?  Well you have now.

Step forward Devon reclining chairs.

As the name suggests, this recliner is available only to people living in Devon. The chair is being marketed under the name of Relax-Well-Pedic, which is probably a spin on the terms relaxation, well-being and orthopaedic – that’s our guess and we’re sticking to it.

If you’re one of the lucky 1 million residents of Exeter, East Devon, Mid Devon, North Devon, Torridge, West Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Plymouth, Ilfracombe, Torbay or just a small Devonshire hamlet like Wiggaton, you can even get a free home trial.

If however, like us at Mobility Compare, you live outside Devon then you can either buy a house in the region or simply plead with British Rise & Recliner Chair Company to sell you one of their stunning chairs – it has been known to happen so long as you ask politely and don’t fake a country bumpkin accent.

On a more serious note, what makes us particularly fond of these chairs is that the core of the seat is made of memory foam, instead of the spring sets we come across more frequently. This helps you to stay on the chair far longer without any sort of discomfort.

What we also like about the Devon recliner chair is that it comes with a backup power supply in the form of a high performance battery, which will let you get off the chair in case of a power failure. So many people, new to mobility products, fail to realise the importance of backup batteries in the case of power failure, whether it’s for stairlifts, scooters, hearing aids or recliner chairs.  In Mobility Compare’s experience, battery backup is vital especially for mobility products.

Still, do not rely on the backup power too much. It is an emergency solution at best, and certainly not a full-fledged alternative to mains power supply. Even at full charge, most batteries cannot supply more than three operations worth of power for a rise and recline chair. Also, remember to keep the batteries in fully charged condition. If the battery indicator signals that the batteries are out of juice, charge them immediately.  This is essential.

Finally, if you live in Devon or the immediate surrounding area, call 0845 833 1198 and talk to an expert for a free home trial. You could do worse as these are outstanding recliner chairs.   If not….well…….get property hunting!

You have made your adjustable bed…now lie in it

As we all know at Mobility Compare, the way we sleep affects our day, our life and most importantly our health, so it’s crucial that we get the best night’s sleep possible.

Indeed, if you suffer with joint pain, snoring or arthritis it’s never a case of getting out of the bed on the wrong side, but rather any side of the bed at all.  Sleep – or rather lack of it – can become the primary issue that affects every aspect of our life.

That’s why the popularity of adjustable beds is soaring nationwide, as people who have difficulty sleeping are lining up for these comfortable cures. With more gadgets than James Bond’s Q, adjustable beds can help people maintain a soothing position throughout the night – essential for a good night’s sleep.

Leaving us shaken and stirred at MobilityCompare is the multi-functional Dreamaway Classic – a traditional memory foam adjustable bed, which comes with built in Cyclo Massage and Easy Reach features.

Whilst these adjustable beds perhaps won’t tell you a bedtime story, the Cyclo Massage enables troubled sleepers to enjoy a relaxing and deep massage whilst dozing off. What better way to help with those disturbed nights than your own personal masseuse, and the  3-way-setting  includes rotation and vibration as it targets specific spots.

At a modest price of £400 the Dreamaway Classic adjustable bed can hold up to a body weight of 18 stone, is easy to assemble and the reflex foam mattress is 6’6 long which is longer than a usual bed as it takes into account the mattress extending.

We also have soft spots for the beds at Willowbrook, particularly The Victoriana and The Renoir. Both adjustable beds have been designed in a particular periodic or contemporary style in order to match other room furniture or complement a décor. Don’t worry though they still have a mattress that bends into 5 different positions for maximum comfort.

Let’s also not forget that a good mattress is essential for a pain-free, distress-free night’s sleep, and King Koil’s  Cassandra’s twin slat waffle finish means that the middle of the mattress can be made softer or firmer, depending on the individual’s requirements.

The Cassandra chips in at just over £900, but the feeling of getting up gently feeling energetic and refreshed is priceless. The mattress is also made from premium cashmere wool and hypo allergic latex which makes it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Of course, should you need more assistance with keeping your balance then bar accessories that attach to your bed are available.

We will look at safety and stair bars in future blogs…
