What is a lift chair?

It is often an electric lift armchair. You control it with a remote control to slowly tilt it forward and backward. This makes it easier to get up. It also helps users to move into a sitting position. An electric recliner is useful for seniors with reduced mobility and those who suffer from joint pain. A lift chair for seniors is usually installed in the living room. Watching TV, reading or doing other activities while seated is more comfortable and, of course, movement is easier. It is possible to rest in a medical lifting chair. Certain models allow you to lie down.

Medical chair or recliner?

When a product is called a medical chair (or medicalised chair), it is a motorised chair, in most cases, with at least two or three adjustment options. Generally, these involve tilting the backrest and leg rest to allow for multiple positions.

A medical or medicalised chair is designed to help users stand up and relieve various types of pain. However, unlike an elderly shell chair, it is not a medical device classified for healthcare use.

In addition, depending on the brand, an electric medical chair is also known as a recliner and has features that are useful for people with reduced mobility.

The advantages of an electric lifting armchair

Electric lifting armchairs are known for helping people sit down and stand up. Many elderly people regain independence and the risk of falls is reduced. When users have an electric medical armchair at home, there is another big advantage: pain relief. A recliner lifting  armchair is particularly useful for certain problems: back pain, blood circulation problems, knee pain. A bedridden user can sometimes benefit from a motorised lifting armchair, with its very beneficial position changes.

How to choose a medical armchair for the elderly?

Before purchasing a medical lifting armchair, it is important to differentiate between the different types of armchairs.

• Manual lifting armchair: not suitable for elderly people who are losing their independence or seniors who suffer from back or leg pain. It usually only has a reclining backrest, which is excellent for relaxation.
• Motorised lifting armchair: electric lifting chairs are equipped with a motor and help the user to stand up.
• 2-motor lifting armchair: a 2-motor electric lifting armchair has a real bonus: usera are able to lie down! The leg rest can be adjusted independently of the backrest.
• 3-motor electric lifting armchair: users can adjust the headrest with the remote control.
• Four-motor lifting armchair: each part can be adjusted independently of the others. Depending on the model, various positions are possible.

What kind of comfortable lifting armchairs are available in stores?

High-end lifting armchairs are often made of leather and have 4 motors. But there are so many other options for reclining chairs! For example, the swivel lift chair, which turns the user in the best direction for getting up. Another example is the heated massage lifting armchair.

Today, the diversity of models and improvements in technology make it possible to find an electric medical armchair that meets specific needs.

Most electric lifting armchairs are made of fabric, but many fabrics are used in the industry, both for comfort and ease of cleaning, as well as for aesthetics. A leather lifting armchair looks great, but this material has some disadvantages, especially when it comes to maintenance.

There are large or extra-wide lifting armchair models that can support over 200 kg for heavier people, as well as lifting armchairs for smaller people. We also offer lifting armchairs designed for elderly people with incontinence.
