How Will You Use Your Lift Chair?

Understanding how you plan to use a lift chair is the first step in choosing the right one. People use these chairs for help with sitting and help with standing, but someone might also sit or sleep for a long time in one of these chairs. The main reason or reasons you want a lift chair can help you choose the right one. Here are some important things to consider:

Two-position lift chairs a good, inexpensive option for those that do not plan on sitting or sleeping in the lift chair for a long periods of time.
Do you plan to sit at length? If this will be your main chair, then this is likely. You'll want to look at the features of chairs that have different positions, because those with only two positions might not be as comfortable for you. Lift recliners with three or more positions are most likely the better option.
Do you plan to use the recliner for sleeping? If you plan to sleep in the lift recliner chair a great deal, will you need a pad that serves as a mattress?
Don't forget to consider incontinence or control issues. Waterproof coverings are available to help make time spent in your lift chair worry-free.
If you have you been advised to keep your feet above the level of your heart for better circulation, our three-position, infinite positioni, and zero gravity lift chairs will be your best options.
Do you plan to eat and drink while sitting in your lift recliner? If you do, consider the fabric of the chair and how easy it may be to clean. A table that's custom-made for your lift chair could also be a good option.

If you're overweight, it's important to make sure that you purchase a chair that's designed for your weight. A chair that's designed for smaller weights will break down quickly and become uncomfortable. But some lift chairs are designed for people who weigh more than average, so you can rest assured that the lift mechanism will function properly and your chair will be comfortable.

Do you have any physical limitations, conditions or injuries that could be important? From certain positions in the chair that can help things like circulation and swelling issues, to simply choosing a firmness level that you find most comfortable, there are many different options to choose from.
Removable arms to make sliding into the chair from its side and other designs are all available. It's important to be up front about your needs and desires to get the right model.

If you're in good shape with no real health problems, but like me you're no longer a spring chicken, then you won't have to worry as much about special features and what they offer. But you will want to find the most comfortable chair possible. In addition to help with sitting and standing, which people of our age can certainly appreciate, our lift chairs are as comfortable as any other chairs, and are often even more comfy. Get one for yourself or someone you care about today.
Do you have a pet or pets that might sit in your lap while you're in the lift recliner? Don't forget to consider the size of your pets and how they'll fit with you in the chair when you choose a size.

Before making your final decision on a lift chair, be sure that there will be enough space where you plan on putting the chair. Most lift chairs need a foot and a half to two feet of space between the wall and the chair. If you do not have enough room, there are special lift chair models that will fit into tighter spaces, so just ask one of our lift chair specialists and they will be glad to find the perfect chair for your home!
