Raising an armchair can be achieved using specialised devices designed to increase its height safely and discreetly, such as the Morris® Chair Raiser C2.
These devices are specifically engineered to make getting in and out of an armchair easier for individuals who may find a standard seat height challenging. They provide a secure way to elevate the chair without compromising stability.
Using Chair Raisers
One common method for raising an armchair involves using chair raisers that fit directly into the chair's existing fittings.
Based on products like The Morris® Chair Raiser C2 - Adjustable Height, this method is suitable for chairs that feature the standard type of "push-in" castors.
Here's a general breakdown of the process:
- Prepare the Chair: Ensure the armchair is in a safe, accessible location where you can easily access its base.
- Remove Original Castors: The first step is to remove the existing castors from the chair legs. These raisers are designed to fit into the same points where the castors were previously inserted.
- Install the Raiser: The chair raiser, like the Morris® Chair Raiser C2, is then securely located and fitted into the base of the chair where the castors were removed. They provide a stable, elevated base.
- Check Stability: Once fitted, ensure the raisers are securely in place and the chair is stable before use.
This type of raiser offers a discreet way of safely raising the height of an armchair, maintaining the chair's appearance while providing the necessary height increase.
Benefits of Using Chair Raisers
Using a dedicated chair raiser offers several advantages:
- Increased Height: Makes sitting down and standing up easier.
- Improved Accessibility: Helps individuals with mobility issues use their favourite armchair more comfortably.
- Discreet Design: Often designed to blend in with the chair or its surroundings.
- Safety: Provides a stable base when properly fitted.
- Compatibility: Many models are designed for common chair types, such as those with standard push-in castors.
