The Tuscany Riser Recliner in Blue — Who Says a Lift Chair Has to Be Beige?
Walk into any mobility showroom and you’ll see the same thing: rows of apologetic beige chairs that announce a limitation before the person has said a word.
The Sofa Shop Tuscany 2350 riser recliner in blue is the loudest possible disagreement. A deep, confident blue with black piping — the most striking chair in most rooms it enters — carrying the full Tuscany specification:
- Everything the recliner chair does, plus dual-motor assisted rise
- Massage and soothing lumbar warmth
- Multi-position power recline and power headrest
- Storage and arm-pocket charging
- LED ambient lighting
- Bluetooth speaker system
And a smooth dual-motor lift that brings you towards your feet with dignity intact and style uncompromised.
The Colour That Refuses the Stereotype
It is an evening-sky blue with real depth — the kind of colour people compliment before they sit down — framed in COBRA black piping so it looks tailored and deliberate.
It looks striking against white and pale grey walls, alongside mustard, brass and mid-century wood. It makes the strongest possible statement that this chair belongs to someone with taste, not to a condition.
Beneath it is a technology fabric rub-tested beyond 25,000 Martindale cycles — the heavy domestic-use benchmark — and tested for:
- Pilling
- Tear strength
- Seam slippage
- Colourfastness
- UK fire-safety compliance
Who This Chair Is For — and Who It Isn’t
This chair is designed for anyone who finds rising from a low seat harder than it used to be — and refuses to sit somewhere worse because of it.
- The adult son or daughter choosing a chair for a parent who has never once chosen beige.
- Anyone recovering at home who wants supported recline, raised legs and an assisted rise for greater everyday comfort.
- Taller users who benefit from high-back support and a power headrest.
- Shorter users whose legs are supported by the rising footrest, so nothing dangles.
Important: For anything medical, speak to your clinician. This is comfort furniture, not a medical device.
Weight guidance: We recommend no more than 120kg. Going beyond this limit is considered misuse and is not covered.
Who it isn’t for: Anyone looking for a hospital-style chair — obviously.
The Feature Walk — Everything the Recliner Chair Does, Plus the Rise
-
Dual-motor power lift: Press and hold, and the chair rises smoothly to bring you towards a standing position. A dedicated rise control keeps operation simple.
-
Multi-position power recline: Adjust your seating position smoothly and stop at the angle that feels right.
-
Power headrest: Adjust the head and neck support independently for reading, watching television or resting.
-
Tested motors: The motors have been independently tested beyond 25,000 cycles under load and tested for quiet operation.
-
Massage and lumbar warmth: Low and high settings provide a relaxing massage sensation and soothing warmth over the padded lumbar area.
-
Left-arm storage: Includes a side pocket, storage compartment, cup holder and power grommet for compatible Sofa Shop accessories.
-
Built-in charging: A power socket inside the arm pocket lets you charge your devices without leaving the chair.
-
LED ambient lighting: Soft integrated lighting with a protective cover.
-
Bluetooth speaker system: Play audio directly from a compatible phone or device.
-
USB and USB-C: Convenient charging ports are built into the controller.
-
Wall-hugger design: The chair can fully recline with only around 5–7cm of space behind it.
Built for Long-Term Comfort
Underneath the upholstery, the Tuscany includes:
- Treated pine wood frame
- 30+ pocket coil springs
- Layered high-density and soft comfort foams
- UK fire-safety-approved fibre filling
- Hand-finished stitching
- Triple quality-control inspection
One Chair, Many Lives
The NHS recommends raising your legs while resting to help reduce swelling in the ankles, feet and legs — and this chair makes that position available at the press of a button.
Supported recline can take pressure off the lower spine compared with sitting completely upright, while the assisted rise makes it easier to move towards standing.
Mornings with the newspaper. Afternoons with your legs raised. Evenings in the middle of the family. This is a rise-and-recline chair built for full days.
Underneath the rise mechanism is an ergonomically designed, orthopaedic-style seat, consistent with the rest of the Tuscany range.
The Honest Bit
The lift and recline functions require mains power. There is no battery backup or manual return function.
During a power cut, the chair will remain in its current position. We recommend returning it to the upright position before leaving it unattended, and never attempting to stand while the chair is moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do riser recliners really come in colours like this?
Ours do — that’s the point. The Tuscany riser recliner shares its colourways with the complete Tuscany range, including this deep blue, because someone who needs an assisted rise deserves the same design choices as everyone else in the room.
What is a riser recliner chair?
It is a recliner chair with a powered lifting mechanism. Dual motors raise the whole chair to bring the user towards a standing position, then gently lower it back into the seat.
This model includes the features of the Tuscany recliner chair, plus dual-motor assisted rise.
What happens during a power cut?
The chair stays in its current position because it does not have a battery backup or manual return function. We recommend returning the chair to its upright position before leaving it unattended.
Does the lift chair still have massage and heat?
Yes. It includes everything the standard recliner chair does, plus dual-motor assisted rise. Massage, lumbar warmth, power recline, power headrest, storage, charging, ambient lighting and Bluetooth audio all remain included.
Does it have the zero-gravity position available on the 1 seater?
No. The dual-motor lifting mechanism replaces the zero-gravity preset. You still receive multi-position recline with raised-leg support, together with the assisted-rise function.
