Review Mobility Winner 2026
Aidapt Walmesley
Our verdict
The best-documented chair here: dual motor, 160 kg, a named fire standard, and paperwork that agrees with itself.
Best for: most people, especially anyone who wants to raise their legs without reclining.
Not for: a small room with the chair against the wall; it needs 72 cm behind it. Buy the two 9 V batteries at the same time.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Riser Recliner Chairs UK: 10 Checked Against the Makers’ Own Documents, where it is ranked number 1. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
