Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Memphis suit you?
The Memphis is a dual motor riser recliner in soft chenille, for someone who likes to set their back and legs separately. Sit upright with your feet raised for the television, lie back for a snooze, or let the chair lift you up to standing. The handset has a built-in safety key, so it only moves when you mean it to.
A Petite version is proportioned for people of 5 foot 6 and under, so trying the seat height and depth really pays off. Visit a showroom, work the handset yourself and let us help with sizing. Phone 0800 169 1910 beforehand and we will have one ready.
