As a primary function, a lift chair makes it easier and safer to get in and out of a seated position. Equipped with features that raise and lower the chair itself to support your body as you move between positions, lift chairs are perfect for those with joint pain, muscle weakness, or bodily injury. What makes our lift chairs even better? They’re simultaneously designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. 

You don’t have to have a specific medical condition to find a lift chair incredibly useful and comfortable. If you suffer from any of the following, a lift chair can make a big difference in the quality of your life:

• limited mobility due to a past stroke
• complete or partial paralysis of certain body parts
• poor balance and difficulty standing
• muscle weakness due to old age or a neuromuscular disorder
• cerebral palsy
• severe arthritis
• pregnancy
• rotator cuff injury
• degenerative joint disease
• plastic surgery

Consider the following features: Number of Positions, Upholstery, and Extra Features.

Number of Positions: Lift chairs range from basic models to highly ergonomic ones. The most basic lift chair can switch between two pre-set positions (besides the normal upright position): lifted position and reading position with a slight recline and an engaged foot rest. Some chairs also offer a napping position that allows you to recline even deeper. This could be enough for everyday use, but if you want more from your lift chair, then you need one with infinite positioning options. Positions such as the trendelenburg and zero-gravity have health benefits as well. 

Upholstery: Both Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility Lift Chairs offer a wide range of fabrics and colors. From the softest and most breathable leather-like fabrics to their high-performance liquid proof fabrics, both brands offer over 30 options for their chairs.

Extra Features: If the standard lift chair doesn’t provide the comfort and relaxation you desire, consider models with heat and massage features. Both the seat and the back usually have these components pre-installed, so you can experience a full-body massage without leaving your living room.​

Choosing the correct size for a lift chair is essential for comfort, safety, and effective mobility assistance. A well-fitted chair promotes proper posture, prevents discomfort and strain, and contributes to an overall positive user experience. It also ensures that the chair aligns with individual body sizes and space considerations, optimizing its functionality within a living space.

Yes, when addressing incontinence concerns, both Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility offer lift chairs with suitable fabric options. Golden Technologies provides lift chairs with their exclusive high-performance fabric featuring Alta™ technology. This fabric offers a total liquid barrier, antimicrobial protection, and high repellency to liquids and oil-based stains. Pride Mobility offers lift chairs with various upholstery choices, including moisture-resistant fabrics like Crypton, providing durability and stain resistance, making them ideal for individuals dealing with incontinence. Consider these fabric options to ensure comfort, hygiene, and ease of maintenance for users facing such challenges.  

Yes, it's okay for the lift chair user to sleep in the chair every night. However, for enhanced comfort and support during extended periods of sleep, you may want to consider upgrading to a chair that offers lay-flat or infinite positioning. These features provide a more conducive sleeping experience and better alignment for prolonged use.
