Advice from the showroom floor
Will the Ohio suit you?
The Ohio suits anyone who wants a riser recliner that is simple to work. One motor and a two-button handset take you through the whole range in a single smooth sequence: a lift towards standing, sitting, feet up, then further back for a rest. The seat is 52cm (20.5 inches) wide within a compact frame, which sits well with a slim to medium frame.
Everybody sits differently, so visit a showroom, check the seat height and depth, and try the handset for yourself. We are glad to advise on sizing. Phone before you set off and we will have one waiting.

The Ohio in detail
One handset, two buttons, and the chair does the rest. Drive's Ohio keeps things easy with a single motor, yet still moves in three stages, so there is a comfortable setting for the television, for a doze and for getting up.
What you get
- A footrest that lifts on its own first, giving a relaxed feet-up position for watching TV
- A backrest that lowers further when you want it, down to a mid snooze position
- A gentle rise that helps you onto your feet
- Quiet running, so the chair moves smoothly and discreetly
- Battery back-up keeps the rise and recline working if the electricity goes off. You add two 9V PP3 batteries yourself
- A side pocket for storage
Fabric and finish
Padded upholstery and a fully padded chaise support you from head to heel. Washable covers protect the headrest and armrests, and the fabric colours are Caramel, Claret and French Grey.
Sizing
The seat measures 52cm (20.5 inches) across and the chair is rated to 23 stone (150kg). Its compact shape is a help in rooms where floor space is limited.
