Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fenetic Wellbeing Cullingworth takes first place in this guide. It is a British-made riser recliner with a powered headrest and lumbar section, listed at £1,499.99 in the Natural colourway with the Lateral Support Backrest. The listing gives it 4.4 out of 5 from 36 ratings and a Best Sellers Rank of 94th in Lift Chairs. Two numbers in that same listing do not sit together: the star breakdown shows 65 five-star, 21 four-star, 7 three-star and 7 one-star ratings, which adds up to 100, and the 65 five-star count on its own is nearly twice the stated total of 36.
The name says "Dual motor", while the bullets describe two further motors working the headrest and the lumbar section, so the listing is describing four motors in total. Its first bullet claims the chair is "the highest scoring riser recliner chair in Which's independent test", but the Which? quotation in that bullet stops mid-sentence at "Simply put, this is" and no Which? score appears anywhere in the listing. The specifications also list "Is Extendable: No" alongside a special-features line that includes a powered extending legrest. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as supplied — none of it comes from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The people who delivered it failed to connect the auxilliary motors, but once I had realised that it was not too difficult to fix. My wife is very impressed by the fabric, and finds it very comfortable indeed. Certainly deserves its Which best buy status. Also delivery was very quick, compared to "specialist" shops.”
Verified purchase“This is my first rise and fall chair I've owned with the extra function of lumbar and headrest adjustment, it makes this chair so easy to get comfortable and supported. Well worth the extra costAnd the customer support is also very good always a sign of a well run company.”
