What Should I Look For When Buying A Power Lift Chair?

A lift recline chair can be the solution, whether you are experiencing difficulty getting into a seated position or standing position. Here is what you ought to look for when buying power recliner chairs that lift:

• Fabric and style: With the recliner armchair gaining popularity, multiple styles and fabrics are available to suit your style. This means you can choose a fabric that matches your existing décor and pick a chair whose style is a space saver.
• Extra options: A power lift chair comes in a range of options, such as the chair going from seated to standing positions in a short period, having a leg rest, remote control, and battery backup.
• Weight capacity: Lift chairs have an approved weight capacity, and it is crucial to stay within the weight limits to ensure the chair lasts.
• Fit: Power electric lift chairs are available in different sizes. This means you can get a chair that best suits you ensuring your feet do not hang and you stay in a particular position for a more extended period comfortably. Always consider the width and depth of the seat and the height of the seat from the floor.
• Positions: It is worth noting that while there are different positions, all lift chairs are not designed to achieve these positions. Ensure you review the position a power lift chair can achieve before buying it to avoid purchasing a chair that cannot achieve a fully reclined position.
• Motor type: You can choose a single motor or a dual motor lift chair. A single motor recliner utilises the same motor to move the seat, footrest, and backrest, so you cannot independently adjust these to achieve your desired comfort. On the other hand, dual-motor recliners have separate motors controlling the seat, footrest, and backrest to control the recliner independently.
