Transitions are difficult for people with mobility issues and health conditions. Moving from standing to sitting and getting up out of a chair back to a standing position takes a lot of effort and energy.

Lack of strength and balance can make transitions from sitting to standing potentially dangerous. Without the proper support or assistance, it can become a potential falling hazard.

Rather than rely on a loved one for assistance all the time or using other mobility support, investing in a lift chair can provide you with a comfortable chair to sit in AND it will also help you get up and out of the chair when you are done sitting.

What Are Lift Chairs?

A lift chair, also commonly referred to as a power lift recliner or pop up chair, is a piece of medical equipment that can be used by people with mobility issues. It looks very similar to a standard recliner you would find in most people’s living room. It can sit in an upright position or be reclined back for comfort.

What makes it unique is the lifting system within the chair. Using a remote that is connected to the chair, users can adjust the chair by adjusting the base and back of the chair to help them get up and out of the chair.

Lift chairs are available in a number of styles, colours, and models.

How Can Lift Chairs Benefit You Or A Loved One?

The lift chair can moves up and down and helps people get up and out of their seat easier. These chairs offer these benefits:

• Assistance: Lift chairs provide people with mobility issues with the right amount of assistance to help them get up and out of a seated position – something that could be very challenging for a person weakened by a medical condition, recovering from an injury, or with mobility problems.
• Heat and massage options: Many of the lift chairs offer massage and heating options. This can help user’s sooth muscles, relax, and recover.
• Support while seated: Getting comfortable can be challenging for many people with health and mobility issues. Lift chairs provide maximum support and comfort, helping you or your loved one be relaxed in a seated position.
• Customizable options: Users have the option to choose chairs in a number of sizes, functionality options, and design.
