Lift chairs at a glance
Types of lift chairs in this collection
The range falls into three groups. Dual motor models, vertical rise models and models with comfort extras each suit a different need.
Dual motor models
A dual motor lift chair uses separate motors for the backrest and the footrest. That lets you set each part on its own for reading, resting or watching TV. The range includes dual motor models that list a 352 lb (160 kg) capacity. They suit people who want more control over how they recline.
Vertical rise models
A vertical rise lift chair raises the seat in a more upright path. It is designed to bring you to a standing position. Two vertical rise models list capacities of 350 lb and 352 lb (159 to 160 kg). They suit people who want a steady, controlled lift from a compact recliner.
Models with comfort extras
Many power lift recliners add comfort features to the lift. This range includes PU leather and microfibre chairs with a remote control, side pockets and cup holders. Some models add heat and massage or store two memory positions. They suit anyone who spends long hours relaxing in one chair.

How do you choose a lift chair?
Check the seat height
Measure from the floor to the back of your knee. Your feet should rest flat and your knees should sit near a right angle. A seat that is too low or too high makes standing harder.
Confirm the weight capacity
Read the maximum user weight on the product page. Several chairs in this range list 350 to 352 lb (159 to 160 kg). Choose a chair with a rating above the weight of the person who will use it.
Measure your space
Measure the width of your doors and hallways before you order. Also measure the full reclined length of the chair. Leave clear floor space around it so the seat can move freely.
Pick the upholstery
PU leather wipes clean with a damp cloth. Microfibre and fabric feel soft and warm. Think about pets, spills and how often you will sit in the chair each day.
Match the controls to the user
Look for a simple remote control with clear buttons. An electric lift chair needs a nearby wall outlet. Ask a doctor or occupational therapist for advice if you have medical needs.
Where do lift chairs work best?
A living room is the most common place for a power lift chair. It fits beside a side table and a lamp, and the remote control stays within reach of the seat. Browse our living room furniture collection to match the room and the rest of your decor.
A bedroom or reading corner suits an electric lift chair when you want a quiet place to rest. Side pockets hold glasses, a book or the remote, so the things you need stay close. Our mobility aids collection lists more daily living aids for the home.
A guest room or a care space for visiting family also suits lift chairs for seniors. A lift chair for elderly relatives gives visitors easy seating. Choose easy-to-clean upholstery in shared rooms, because spills and wear are more common there. If you want a standard recliner too, see our sofas and reclining chairs collection.
How do you set up and care for a lift chair?
Place a lift chair on a flat floor near a wall outlet. Keep the power cord out of walkways. Leave space for the footrest to extend. Wipe PU leather with a damp cloth and vacuum fabric or microfibre. Follow the guide on the product page for assembly steps.

Lift chair FAQs
What is a lift chair?
A lift chair is a powered recliner that raises and tilts the seat. It is designed to help you move from sitting to standing with less effort. Most use a remote control, plug into a wall outlet and also work as a normal recliner.
What does dual motor mean on a lift chair?
Dual motor means the chair has two motors. One moves the backrest and the other moves the footrest. You can set each part on its own. That gives more recline positions than a chair with a single motor.
Can a lift chair be used as a normal recliner?
Yes. A lift chair is a living room recliner that also lifts. You can sit, recline and watch TV like in any recliner. The lift feature simply helps when you want to stand up, and it can stay unused.
How much weight can a lift chair hold?
Capacity depends on the model. Several chairs in this range list 350 to 352 lb (159 to 160 kg). Always check the maximum user weight on the product page. Choose a chair rated above the weight of the person using it.
Will insurance or a health plan pay for a lift chair?
Coverage varies by province, plan and need. Some programs help with mobility equipment. Ask your insurer, health provider or occupational therapist before you buy. Keep your receipt in case a claim or tax credit applies.
Does a lift chair need assembly?
Most arrive in a few pieces. Several models in this range list quick assembly. Plan for a second person to help with lifting the parts. Follow the steps on the product page, and keep the power cord clear of the base.
