Find the extra comfort and support you need with a supportive lift recliner. Relaxing and comfortable for those with limited mobility, they feature a lift function that allows you to gently stand without straining your knees or back.
The power motion recline extends your legs with a delicate motion. While enjoying the relaxing recline, you will be held up by the pillowed headrest and supported by extra thick pillow arms.
Not all lift chairs will work for you. We have a variety of lift chairs to choose from. Some may need a tall lift chair that features higher seat backs and a greater distance from the floor to the top of the seat to accommodate longer legs. If you are less than 5’3″ you need a specifically sized chair for the most comfortable seating experience.
At CAPS Remodeling we can help you find the right lift chair for your needs.

FAQ
1. What factors should I consider when choosing a lift chair recliner for my home?
When choosing a lift chair recliner, it’s important to consider several factors including your height, weight, and the available space in your home. The chair should offer enough stability and comfort to support you, while fitting well in the intended room without obstructing walkways. Assess the chair’s features, such as reclining positions, motor type, and upholstery, to ensure it meets your needs and preferences. Trying the chair in person can help guarantee a good fit for your body and lifestyle.
2. What makes a lift chair recliner different from a standard recliner?
While lift chair recliners and standard recliners may look similar, lift chairs are equipped with a motorized mechanism that assists users in sitting and standing. This feature is especially beneficial for people with mobility challenges, as it reduces strain on the knees, back, and arms when transitioning between sitting and standing positions.
3. Are there different types of lift chair recliners, and which should I choose?
Lift chairs come in several types, mainly two-position, three-position, and infinite-position models. Two-position models are ideal for reading or watching TV, offering a slight recline, while three-position chairs can recline nearly flat, making them suitable for napping. Infinite-position chairs provide the greatest flexibility, allowing the backrest and footrest to operate independently and achieving positions like zero gravity. Consider your daily needs and comfort preferences when deciding on the type.
4. What special features are available in lift chair recliners, and do I need them?
Lift chair recliners can come with additional features such as heat, massage, cup holders, storage pockets, USB ports, and backup batteries for power outages. When choosing your chair, think about which features would improve your comfort and convenience. Prioritize those that support your health needs, budget, and lifestyle.
5. Why is it important to consider size and fit when selecting a lift chair recliner?
Getting the correct size and fit is crucial for both safety and comfort. The seat width, depth, and height should match your body dimensions, allowing you to sit with your feet flat on the floor and providing proper support. Chairs with adjustable padding, ergonomic design, and correct weight capacity help maintain healthy posture, minimize pressure points, and reduce the risk of injury
