Straight Back Lift Chair
* Do you spend a great deal of time sitting at a table or desk? If so, you should consider buying a straight back lift chair.
* As the name implies, a straight back design does not recline and the back is in a fixed upright position. * Straight back models are relatively light and can therefore be moved around your home to wherever you need them. e.g dining room to eat. * Reclining back lift chairs come with a variety of reclining options. Models with more reclining positions require additional motors to control the chair. * Lift chairs rise up to meet the user and then gently lower them to their desired sitting position. * To get out, the user is first gently raised to a standing position so that they can step straight out of the chair. * For two position models - one position is straight and the other is normally slightly back and suitable for reading or watching television. * With three position designs, the ottoman rises as the back reclines to any of the selected positions. * The most flexible type is the one with infinite reclining positions using additional motors for independent movement of the back and ottoman. * All reclining lift chairs are powered by electric motors and operated by a control unit, usually fitted into or near the armrests. 2 Position Lift Chair
* It's not only the size of room that matters when selecting your lift chair. You need to choose a size of chair that is compatible and comfortable for your own size and weight.
* Another factor to consider is the amount of time you will spend in your chair every day. * Your choice of back and cushion materials can have a significant effect on the comfort levels provided. * Most models are electrically operated but there are some very basic models that are mechanically operated. * While backs made of softer materials are more comfortable for short periods, they are not suitable for long periods in the chair. * Firm backs are the best option if you spend extended periods in your chair. * A popular design is the button style back, while another style that is very popular is the pillow style back. * Deluxe models are available with a number of special features to add to your comfort. * If you have chronic back pain, you may want to opt for a model with a built in heat and massage feature. 3 Position Lift Chair

Infinite Position Lift Chair
* The simple act of sitting down or getting up and out of a chair is a major problem for many people with disabilities.
* People who would benefit from having a lift chair include the elderly, arthritis sufferers and those with muscular skeletal disorders. * For people having difficulty getting in / out of chairs, it gives them a chance of living a normal life in spite of their disability. * People suffering from Parkinson's and other mobility limiting conditions will appreciate the benefits they can provide. * Using a lift chair will provide the disabled with a degree of independence they would would otherwise not have. * Caregivers and companions will also benefit from there use as it will relieve them of the physical effort previously required to assist the disabled. * Selecting the correct fabric is important as the skin on some people is sensitive to some of the materials used to cover the chair. * Although most models are powered from a regular electric outlet, there are models that can be operated with a battery pack. * A benefit of having a battery powered model is that the chair can still be used in the event of a power failure. * If you are on a limited budget, you could consider buying a used lift chair. If you do, it's best to purchase one from a reputable one rather than privately. Return to Mobility Aid Catalog Home Page Top of Lift Chairs
