Our advice for choosing a motorised electric lifting armchair

If you are planning to purchase a lifting armchair with the simplest motorisation, i.e. a single motor, comfort is the number one criterion. Comfort is assessed according to various factors, including the density of the foam padding, the padding of the armrests and the level of head support. The recline angle of the backrest is also worth considering, as it varies from approximately 130° to 145°, bringing the user closer to a lying position. For added comfort, some users opt for a neck cushion.

It is also very important to choose the right size for the height and weight of the user to ensure a comfortable single-motor lift chair.

The upholstery options for single-motor electric armchairs are mainly microfibre fabric, polyester, leather and imitation leather. Often, a model allows the user to choose between different colours and, sometimes, between different upholstery options. Some, such as microfibre, are easy to maintain, but there are single-motor electric armchairs with removable, machine-washable covers.

Electric armchairs with one motor rarely come with accessories other than a remote control. However, it is possible to add them. Browse our accessories for recliner chairs to find something to suit the specific needs of an elderly person.

Finally, practical features that many seniors appreciate include wheels and wireless battery-powered models that do not need to be plugged in.

Should you purchase a lifting armchair with one or two motors?

The price of 2-motor lift chairs is higher because they offer more adjustment options, allowing users to enjoy different positions. In addition, the synchronisation of the backrest and leg rest is no longer available, giving way to two separate adjustments. As a result, models with two motors can meet more specific comfort requirements, and some even allow the user to lie down or almost lie down.
