Guide to choose the power lift recliner.
Power lift recliners are an extremely beneficial mobility aid to seniors with issues that make it difficult to stand up from a sitting position or to sit down from a standing position.
Rising out of a chair is significantly less difficult when the chair is capable of gently raising the occupant to a standing position for a safe and pain-free exit.
Knowing Types Of Lift Chairs
2-position lift chair
This chair can reclines just a few inches. These chairs are not that functional as 3-position lift chairs and infinite position lift chairs, but they still offer the basic lift function when you’re trying to stand up.
3-position lift chair
This chair can reclines to the level of a 2-position chair and further. Usually, there's no gap between the seat and the footrest. 3-posiontion recliner chairs have a single motor operating system with controls that allow you to stop at any position. These chairs are great for people who want more lounging experience or who like sleeping or napping in the recliners.
Infinite position lift chair
Infinite position lift chair is pretty much similar to the zero-gravity recliner. These chairs can recline the back of the chair nearly parallel to the floor and even raise the footrest above the back of the chair if need be. This allows the legs and feet of users to be above the heart or at the same level as the heart for a “zero-gravity” position that takes stress off the spine.
The body can also lay in a relaxed “S” position. These chairs are padded all the way down with no gaps. These chairs are perfect for people who want to sleep in their chair or are recovering from an injury and need to be laying down with lifted legs.
