How to Choose the Perfect Lift Chair

What size lift chair do I need?

• Chair width: Measure your body width and add 2-4 inches for comfort. Standard chairs fit 18-20", wide chairs fit 22-24", and extra-wide options are available for larger sizes.
• Seat depth: Your knees should bend naturally at the chair edge. Most people need 20-22" depth, but we have options from 18-24".
• Height: When seated, your feet should rest flat on the floor. We'll measure your leg length to ensure proper fit.

What are the different types of lift chairs?

• 2-Position: Lifts you up and reclines to 45°. Most affordable option, great for watching TV and napping.
• 3-Position: Lifts and reclines to near-flat position (135°). Perfect for longer rest periods and better circulation.
• Infinite Position: Back and footrest operate independently. Allows for multiple comfort positions and is ideal for people with circulation issues or who sleep in the chair.

Will Medicare or insurance cover my lift chair?

Medicare Part B may cover the "seat lift mechanism" portion (typically $300-400) if you have a doctor's prescription stating medical necessity. The prescription must specify mobility limitations that require a lift chair.

Requirements: Your doctor must certify that you have difficulty standing from a regular chair due to arthritis, neuromuscular disease, or other qualifying conditions. We'll help you navigate the paperwork and coordinate with your healthcare provider.

What features should I consider?

• Essential features: Smooth lift mechanism, quality motor (dual motors for infinite position), easy-to-use hand control, and quality construction.
• Comfort upgrades: Heat and massage functions, lumbar support, soft-close footrest, USB charging ports, and cup holders.
• Fabric choices: Easy-clean vinyl or leather for spills and accidents, breathable fabric for comfort, or microfiber for durability and appearance.

How do I know if a lift chair is right for me?

Consider a lift chair if you:

• Have difficulty standing from regular chairs
• Experience pain when getting up
• Have balance concerns when transitioning from sitting to standing
• Need to elevate your legs for circulation
• Spend significant time sitting due to mobility limitations

The best way to know: Try different models in our showroom! Sit in each chair for several minutes, test the lift function, and experience the comfort yourself.
