When considering a wheel chair lift ...
What size is your room?
Your lift chair is an integral part of your home and as such needs to match and fit the room of choice.
What size are you? Height, weight, width
Lift chairs generally come in 4 sizes: Small-Petite Lift Chairs, Medium-Large Lift Chairs, Extra-Large & Wide Lift Chairs and Tall Lift Chairs. As a general guide, Small-Petite Lift Chairs are recommended for users 5'4" tall and below and can hold weight capacities of 300 lbs. to 325 lbs. Medium-Large Lift Chairs are recommended for users between 5'5" and 6' tall and usually have capacities of 375 lbs. Tall Lift Chairs are for users 6'1" to 6'6" tall and have weight capacities of 375 lbs. Extra-Large & Wide Lift Chairs have seat widths from 25" to 30" and capacities from 375 lbs. to 700 lbs.
How much time will you spend in your lift chair daily?
Some lift chairs have softer back styles while other lift chairs have firmer back cushions. The button style back lift chairs are usually of the firmer variety while the pillow style back lift chairs have softer cushions.
Do you need a straight back, two, three or infinite position lift chair?
Straight back lift chairs do not recline. Because they are lighter and more portable, straight back lift chairs are better suited for the dinner table, living room, office or any room where assistance is needed. 2-position lift chairs have 2 recline positions: straight, and "TV recline", which is leaned slightly back for reading, relaxing or watching television. 3-position lift chairs have 3 recline positions: straight, TV recline and "full recline". Infinite position lift chairs have independently operated back and leg movement for an infinite number of recline positions from straight up to "sleep recline", which is all the way flat like a bed.
Do you require heat and massage from your lift chair?
Some lift chairs come with a heat & massage option which operates on the lower back only. Deluxe heat & massage is also available on some lift chairs, which heats and massages the lower back, seat and legs.
