Step 1: Choose the Positioning Features You Need

Lift chairs vary widely in functionality, with four primary categories to consider based on how far they recline and their positioning capabilities:

Two-Position Lift Chairs

  • Reclines to approximately 15 degrees—ideal for reading or watching TV.
  • Features one motor that moves the backrest and footrest simultaneously.
  • A great choice for simple comfort and affordability.

Three-Position Lift Chairs

  • Reclines up to 45 degrees, providing a comfortable semi-upright position for napping.
  • Operates with one motor, controlling the backrest and footrest together.

Infinite-Position Lift Chairs

  • Includes two motors for independent movement of the backrest and footrest, offering limitless positioning options.
  • Reclines nearly flat for sleeping and features the “Trendelenburg Position,” which elevates your feet above your heart to help reduce swelling.
  • Some models also provide “Zero Gravity” positioning, a NASA-inspired alignment that minimizes spinal pressure and improves circulation.

  • Seat Width: Choose a seat wide enough to accommodate your hips comfortably.
  • Weight Capacity: Standard models support up to 325 pounds, while heavy-duty options can accommodate up to 700 pounds.
  • Leg Comfort: Taller users may benefit from models with footrest extensions for full ankle and foot support.

Step 3: Customize Your Chair

Lift chairs can be tailored to fit your home and lifestyle. Consider these customizable options:
