Lift Chairs

Getting in and out of a chair, especially a comfortable chair, can be difficult when you're facing mobility issues. An uplift assist works well for certain chairs, but for the most comfortable experience, consider a lift recliner chair—a cushy recliner that has a built-in mechanism to lift you up and help you get to a standing position without needing another person.

Golden Technologies' Value Series lift recliner is a great option that's reasonably priced and designed to look like a regular piece of furniture in your home. These lift chairs gently lower you into an easily accessible seated position and raise you to a standing position. The lifting feature is easily controlled with a two-button system, and every chair features a back-up battery in case of power outages. The lifter chair can lift a person of up to 375 lbs. In addition to the lift functionality, these recliners offer various reclined positions, including the "full napper" position, and come with an extension leg support.

The chair fabric offered is called SofTouch with stain defense—a fabric that is inherently stain resistant and very strong, but also incredibly soft, thanks in part to silicone that's added to the individual fibers during the manufacturing process. You can choose from four colors that work with most decors—autumn (golden tan), cornflower (blue), spring (green) and rosewood (rich burgundy).

Parentgiving offers these two styles:

The Monarch is a recliner lift chair and the base model for the Value Series line. Each Monarch chair features a split chaise pad, over-stuffer double seam back, plush seat, comfortable seam backrest and a quiet electronic lift/recline system. The Monarch is available in both a medium and large size.

The Monarch Plus has all the features of the original Monarch lift chair, but also incorporates a full chaise seat pad for additional and more luxurious comfort. Similar to the Monarch, the Monarch Plus is also available in a medium and large size.

Note: A "split chaise pad" means there is a gap between the front edge of the seat and the footrest. The gap is covered with a piece of fabric called an apron. A "full chaise pad" means there is one continuous piece of seat foam covered in fabric from the very back of the seat all the way through to the front end of the footrest, providing more support and comfort for the legs when the footrest is raised.

How To Measure For A Lift Chair
Taking these key measurements in a favorite recliner or armchair will help you find the best fit for a lift chair:

1. Width Between Arms: Having the correct seat width enables you to get a lift chair wide enough for comfort, but not so wide that you can't comfortably position your arms on the armrests. Measure straight across the seat, side to side.
2. Seat Depth: A deep enough seat means that your thighs will be accommodated and your knees will bend comfortably at the seat edge, with feet flat on the floor when the chair is in a fully upright position. Measure from the back of the seat cushion straight to the front edge of the cushion.
3. Floor To Front Edge Of Seat: This is another measurement that helps ensure that your feet rest comfortably on the floor in the upright position. Measure from the top of the seat cushion to the floor, then compare that measurement to the length of your calf.
4. Seat To Top Of Back: This measures the distance from the top of the seat cushion to the top of the back of the chair. Compare this measurement to the length of your tailbone to the top of your head so that your head will rest comfortably when the chair is in a reclining position.

Once you have these measurements, compare them to the dimensions of the different models of the Monarch and Monarch Plus to determine the best one for you:
