Do you have a rise and recliner? Help needed

[WhatEverBlowsYourHairBack]

Hi. Im looking to buy a rise and recliner.. rather than buy a new cheap one.. I'm looking at pre loved/ second hand etc ( market place) rather have a good second hand like HSL or similar.. any recommendations? Im 5ft 6( and half lol) weigh 16 stone ( although reducing) .. having an hip replacement and top spine ( cervical) surgery.
Thankyou.

DP needed one after surgery. We got it from Argos. Been a great buy at a fraction of the cost of other places we looked.

I got a second hand one from FB when I had a hip replacement, it was brilliant. I can’t remember which make it was but was a HSL type chair. I sold it on afterwards

This. I got one for my mum from Argos it was great but it did need part assembly.

You don't sound like a candidate for it, but don't fall for the visiting salesperson who will measure you up for one and then fail to deliver like my mum did. :(

Thankfully paid on credit card so got money back that way. She bought from a local furniture shop sale in the end and is very happy with it.

We bought one for my mum from careco as just too awkward to think about delivery etc with second hand. She's very happy with it, it was supposed to be a temporary bed as well as her main arm chair but she more or less lives in it now - prefers it to sleeping in her bed.

It was o e of the cheaper new ones, but not cheap of course. Worth it to her though.

I'm not having a sales man.. l did say im getting a second hand one?
Can l ask why you feel l don't sound like a candidate for one?
I already have a stairlift.. a wet room a carer/ cleaner/ hand rails/ zimmer frame/ walking sticks.
Drop down loo rails.. two broken hips .. a broken pelvis.. cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy and stenosis.. osteoarthritis/ Fibromyalgia and loads of other problems.. seemed a funny thing to say...( I've been advised to get one).

Ive tried one from there .. not right for me.. but ty.

Ive got two nephews with a van.. . I'm on a support site and heard they are great for back sleepers.. which l will have to do after both surgeries.

isnt there one that ot's should recommend?

I took that post to mean you didn't seem silly enough to be conned by a dodgy salesman!

Multiyork used to make a recliner chair, or something from Tetrad/Wesley Barrell would be a safe bet. I work in the furnishing trade and I'd be a wealthy woman if I had a £10 for every phone call I get about repairs from the cheap "care" company made recliners that are good for a skip after 6 months. They're so poorly made there is very little way of repairing them most of the time.

I got a second hand HSL one on eBay. Cost be about £150 plus about £150 for delivery. I've had it a couple of years and I am very happy with it. They come in different sizes - I'm 5' 9" and normalish weight for my height and got a medium. I knew this was my size because I had tried them in a shop.

I'm going to look at an HSL one tomorrow...l know the lady selling it.. New its nearly 2 grand.. im going to sit in it etc.. looks perfect and almost new for £300.. need to try it out..

Good! Yes my one was something like £2k new as well. It has all the bells and whistles. Hope you like one you are looking at.
