Riser recliner chair for reduced mobility: comfort and everyday care
Choosing a riser recliner chair for reduced mobility starts with your day: standing up and sitting back down, reading with comfortable support, resting or receiving care more easily.
Sollevita is a care chair designed for life at home. It brings together adjustments for sitting and resting, sit-to-stand assistance, vertical height adjustment and side access. It is for people who need help and equally for people who keep their independence and want a complete seat for everyday wellbeing.
In the dedicated paths you will find what to consider for yourself or for someone close to you. Each one connects everyday needs to the features of Sollevita, taking account of habits, of the aids already in use and of the care required.
The Sollevita chair across different everyday needs
One model, different needs. Choose the path closest to your situation to see which supports, adjustments and care options to explore.
For anyone who wants comfort and adjustable support in life at home, with help to stand up, sit back down, rest or receive care when needed.
When stiffness, slowness of movement or episodes of freezing make standing up, changing position and transfers during the day more difficult.
When fatigue and mobility can vary over the course of the day, making breaks, changes of position and support at the hardest moments important.
When weakness on one side, reduced balance or difficulty with transfers make a stable seat, more open side access and a suitable height important.
In ALS and other motor neurone diseases, loss of strength can make head support, rest, changes of position and help with transfers more important.
When weakness in the legs, arms or shoulders makes standing up, supporting the body or transferring harder, the choice starts from the activities the person wants to keep doing.
When transfers between wheelchair, bed and chair require compatible heights, side access and a seat suited to the person.
When joint pain and stiffness make it harder to stand up, sit down in a controlled way, change position and stay seated for long periods.

Questions about choosing a chair for reduced mobility
Every person experiences different difficulties and habits, even with the same diagnosis. These answers help to identify the needs worth exploring further and to weigh them against the technical experience of the Sollevita Team.
Can I get guidance even without a specific diagnosis to mention?
Yes. You can describe what has become difficult: standing up, sitting back down, resting, changing position or moving from the bed to the chair. The Sollevita Team starts from these activities to explain which features can be useful. A diagnosis is not essential to ask for information about the product. When new symptoms or a loss of independence appear, a healthcare assessment remains a separate matter: the consultation about the chair complements the guidance of the professionals caring for the person.
Does the same diagnosis always require the same chair configuration?
No. People with the same diagnosis may have different needs in terms of strength, balance, sensation, body control and the care available. When choosing a riser recliner chair for reduced mobility, measurements, hours spent seated, use of the controls and the aids already in use also matter. The dedicated pages help to recognise these aspects. The Sollevita Team relates them to the product’s features, without automatically matching a condition to a single configuration.
Which guide should I start with when several daily difficulties occur together?
Start with the movement that has the greatest impact on the day and add the other needs. If transferring from the bed requires a lot of help, look into vertical height adjustment and the removable side panel; if time spent seated is the main issue, consider body support, proportions and adjustments for resting. You can consult several guides and describe to the Sollevita Team how these activities are linked. The choice is based on the whole picture, not on having to fit into a single category.
Is a riser recliner chair only for people who need continuous care?
No. Sollevita is also for people who walk, keep their independence and want adjustable support and comfort in everyday life. The choice starts from the activities you want to do: reading, talking, resting, or receiving help when you stand up or sit back down. The Sollevita Team helps you define sizes and ways of using the chair in relation to your needs.
Can Sollevita be considered even when the person does not walk?
Yes. The rise function is not the only reason to choose Sollevita. Someone who does not walk can consider a seat for resting, changes of position and daily care, with vertical height adjustment to bring the height closer to that of the bed and a removable side panel to leave the way clear. It is necessary to check that body support and transfers are suitable for the person. A wheelchair, patient hoist or specialist supports continue to play their role when needed: Sollevita fits into the care arrangements already in place.
What matters when sitting for long periods becomes tiring?
What matters is the quality of the body support, the proportions of the seat and the possibility of changing position. A soft surface alone does not meet all these needs. Sollevita combines a three-layer seat construction, a high backrest and the Push Head powered headrest with adjustments for resting. Tilt-in-space lets you vary the inclination while keeping the same opening angle between seat and backrest, as seat and backrest tilt together. When specific supports or surfaces are needed, these should be considered together with the guidance already received.
Which features can make caring for the person easier?
Vertical height adjustment brings the person, seated or lying flat, to a more comfortable height for whoever is helping, while the removable side panel allows access from the sides. These are useful for dressing, arranging clothing and grooming hair and beard. The wheeled base allows movement inside the home, including over longer routes, with the person seated and accompanied, in line with the instructions for use. Video support helps you get to know these functions; activities that require a specific care technique follow the guidance of professionals.
How can the Sollevita Team help me assess the choice?
You can talk directly with the Sollevita Team, sharing your doubts and needs or those of a loved one. The consultation combines technical knowledge of the product with the experience of La Castellana, active since 1969 and with more than 20,000 customers served. Our dialogue with families and users helps us explain how the functions and body support fit into everyday life. We help you assess whether Sollevita is right for you, which features could be useful to you and which aspects to discuss with the professionals who look after you.
