Lift recliners can be life-changing for situations where the ability to get up from a chair is hampered, whether by medical condition, surgery, or weakness in arms, legs, or core.  

Knowing the different types of lift chairs available can help you choose the right one.

• Infinite Position chairs give the greatest flexibility.  With separate motors for the back, legs, and often other places (like headrest or lumbar), these chairs have ultimate versatility in getting to the most comfortable position, whether reclining, watching TV, or even sleeping.  If you’re looking for a long-term purchase, the added versatility of these chairs make the small additional expense worth it.

• 3-Position chairs, so named for the primary Stand, Sit and Recline positions, are a more economical and simpler option.  These chairs have one motor and a pre-set choreography of where the legs elevate based on the position of the back.  While called 3-position, these chairs can be stopped at any point in their range.  A simple 2-button control makes operation easy for those who may not be interested in complexity.
