Heavy Duty Lift Chairs

A lift chair has the ability to shift from a seated position to an upright position. It will effectively lift up the person using the chair, so as to make it easier and more convenient for the person to stand up without pain, stress, or discomfort. This is an ideal scenario for those who have trouble standing up on their own, especially from an ordinary cushioned chair that might otherwise make it very difficult to do so.

Weight capacity

Heavy-duty lift chairs are designed to hold an excess amount of weight. The lower models usually start off with a capacity of 375 pounds, and the weight limit increases from there. People who are in need of these chairs can find them in extra-wide models that will hold weights of up to 900 pounds with ease. They are built with very strong frames that are manufactured to last for many years. Each chair has extra support at various stress points to ensure reliable operation at all times.

Designed for comfort

Lift chairs are made with dense foam cushioning that is intended to handle extra weight and provide comfort and relaxation to the seated user. The foam itself is a very dense material that forms itself to the contour of the person using the chair.

Each chair has thick, plush cushioning throughout the seat, legs, arms, and headrests to offer an overall full body support system. Many of the chairs also come with extra pillows for additional head and lumbar support. People who use these chairs generally find that they can sit for longer periods of time and remain relaxed and tension-free. The primary benefit is the ease with which patients may operate the chair to fully lift themselves to a standing position when they are ready to get out of the seat.

Available options

People who are looking for a few extra features can find them in most brands of heavy-duty lift chairs. Some models include a built-in heating system which will warm the entire chair for increased body heat and blood flow during colder seasons. Many of these chairs also have a massage control option that will gently vibrate particular sections of the chair to provide a soothing, relaxing knead. The control panels for most chairs are placed on the left armrest, but upon special request, the controls may be built into the right side of the chair.

Heavy-duty lift chairs provide an excellent seating option for people who have difficulty getting in and out of most chairs. They lift up and recline at a steady pace, so users are able to depart without much wait time. As such, users will experience a smooth and easy transition from a seated to a standing position.
