Lift Chair 

A lift chair features a powered lifting mechanism that gently lifts the chair up from its base, assisting you into a standing position.  Lift chairs are available in two, three, or infinite-position models.  Two position models feature the lift position and a slightly reclined position where the back and thighs will remain at a 90° angle.  Three position models feature a reclined/ napping position in addition to the lifted and seated positions.  Infinite-models have the three previously-mentioned positions plus the fully-reclined position where the feat are above the heart.

Lift chairs are available in a variety of sizes and fabrics to fit your home’s style.  Most standard lift chairs can accommodate up to 375 lbs; heavy-duty models can accommodate up to 700 lbs.
