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.
